Ampkit the new guitar amp and stompbox simulator has finally ben released.
A joint venture between Peavey and Agile Partners, Ampkit looks very promising indeed.
Agile Partners and Peavey Electronics are proud to announce AmpKit, the ultimate iPhone amp and pedal studio with extensive recording and re-amping capabilities, and AmpKit LiNK, a high fidelity electric guitar interface.
AmpKit is available in two versions:
AmpKit is a free app, available on the iTunes App Store, that comes with a Peavey ValveKing amp (clean and very-high-gain lead channels), two ValveKing cabinets (4×12 and 1×12), two pedals (Noise Gate, Elevenizer overdrive pedal), two mics (Workhorse 57 dynamic mic, Germann 87 condenser mic), and a built-in Noise & Feedback Filter.
AmpKit+ is a paid app ($19.99 in the US App Store) that includes everything in the free version PLUS the following additional gear at less than half their individual prices: Peavey 3120 amp with clean, rhythm, and ultra-high-gain lead channels and matching 4×12 cabinet; Colonel Vintage amp paired with matching 4×10 and 1×12 cabinets; Vintage Brit amp with matching 2×12 cabinet; and distortion, fuzz, compressor, chorus, phaser, flanger, reverb, and 10-band EQ pedals!
In both AmpKit and AmpKit+, an amazing array of additional gear modeled after real-world equipment is available for purchase through an in-app Gear Store. AmpKit has more than twice the number of components of other apps, with more gear coming!
Features:
- Over 60 predefined amp and pedal setups
- Easily create and save an unlimited number of custom setups, with a dozen or more active pedals in each setup
- Record as you play: AmpKit creates both “dry” (guitar signal before effects are applied) and “wet” (guitar signal with effects applied) recordings
- Ability to “reamp”: re-record a previous session, applying a new amp and pedal setup
- Realistic simulations of high-gain amps (e.g., Peavey ValveKing and 6505+) that you can listen to with headphones (be sure to use AmpKit LiNK which has special crosstalk / feedback reduction circuitry)
- Mic positioning control
- Ultra-low latency (i.e., not even noticeable)
- The same high-precision tuner and metronome technology used in GuitarToolkit
- Upload dry recordings for reamping, or your favorite songs and backing tracks to play along with
- Download AmpKit recordings to your computer, email recordings, or share using SoundCloud
