Amp Simulation On The iPhone 5

IK Multimedia optimizes AmpliTube App for iPhone 5 and new iPod touch   19-Nov-12

IK Multimedia has announced the release of AmpliTube 2.7, a new version of the popular guitar-and-bass multi-effects and recording app for iOS. They tell us that the new version features an enhanced user interface that's been optimized for the 4-inch display on iPhone 5 and the new iPod touch. An IK spokesperson told Amped:

"AmpliTube 2.7 takes advantage of the extra screen size and the Retina Display to deliver stunning graphics, which accompany IK's industry-standard sounds and features.
The app comes with 24 gear models, including 5 amps, 5 cabinets, 2 mics and 11 stompboxes. It lets the user set up a signal chain containing an amp, cabinet and mic, along with three simultaneous stompboxes. AmpliTube's gear lineup can be expanded via in-app purchase with dozens of additional components including officially certified models of Slash's amps, and emulations of gear from world-class brands such as Fender, Soldano, Ampeg, T-Rex and many others.
Guitarists and bassists can connect their instruments to their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, using IK's immensely popular iRig interface, or the new iRig STOMP; which is the first stompbox style interface for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It can be plugged inline with a pedalboard, or directly into an amp or P.A. system for live performances."

Pricing and Availability:

Version 2.7 is a free update for previous owners of all three levels of the app: AmpliTube, AmpliTube LE, and AmpliTube FREE.

For new users, AmpliTube 2.7 is available for $19.99/€17.99 from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch, or at www.itunes.com/appstore. AmpliTube LE is a less-expensive version with 10 gear models, and sells for $2.99/€2.69. AmpliTube FREE includes 8 gear models. iPad versions of AmpliTube are available, as well.
