Which apps do you feed your Guitar into ?
So I am getting a bit bored with the standard iOS Amps and traditional fx to feed the guitar into?
Looking for some weird and crazy app combinations and Audiobus chains for guitar processing and fx to come up with interesting patterns (arps, delays,) or spacey ambient textures and pulsating drones and rhythms...
Surely the traditional amps and fx for guitar are there but with so many synths and fx combinations out there , there must something that you have come across that's just makes you go Woah,didn't expect that sound !!
Looking forward to try some new ideas...Please share presets and app combos !!

Moebius Lab is capable of very wonderful wonky things.
It's a self-contained sonic playground.
Things can get out of hand quickly in Turnado too.
Other than that the effects in the more traditional ToneStack are great for my needs.
Turnado.
MIDI guitar 2 if you want to veer away from effects.
FLUX: FX, but buyer beware. The app hasn't been updated since Jan 2015, and is a 32-bit app, so it might not survive.
iPulsaret, iDensity, FluxFX, and Harmony 8 for me...preferably all at once. Samvada too, but I fear we might lose it soon as it hasn't been updated for a long while.
All apesoft apps. Even iVCS3 is fun for guitar. FluxFX for nylons.
Mitosynth can get spacey results.
I just duplicate a guitar track, convert the duplicate track to midi as best as I can, record guitar samples into Mitosynth, and then play around with that duplicate midi track until I come up with a useful result.
Mixing the original dry track with the midi-ized and Mitosynthed track gets me to some interesting guitar sounds that don't seem like typical guitar effects.
With my bass guitar I love the grit of Caramel. I've been experimenting with Grind too.
I think ToneStack and its Motherload 3 is enough. Also you could try Turnado and FluxFX.
as mentioned: all Apesoft's are good, but Apefilter is the most straight one to setup.
Sparkle is great for strange stuff, but you need some patience to tweak the modulation sample properly.
You may support them by one of the midi-to-guitar apps, to keep complete atonality at bay, which often can slip in very fast.
Presets don't apply as these apps react very sensitive to the source.
Here's an all-Telecaster track (Jamup with one of the Fender models), where Apefilter does the glitch and synth parts in the background.
I sometimes like atonality, but I very much like your tonal telecaster track with its added ambient noises too.
Another Caramel on bass lover here.
thanks for compliment - there was no danger of atonality because only Apefilter was involved.
Sparkle is more demanding when used as a live processor for it's reacting similiar to a ringmodulator: some sweet spots for a momentary sound, but completely off with only minor pitch offsets.
In those cases it may help to 'guide' the processor by feeding some pitch information.
Doesn't need to be very fast, as it's controlling an effect, not the main signal.
The track above is a complete cut & paste job, the snipped parts were looped in Apefilter and when it seemed cool, I pressed record in the app, collected a bunch of samples and arranged them on the DAW timeline on the PC in Saw-Studio.
I've recently tried to achieve the same in Auria Pro, but didn't succeed yet.
To be fair I'm quite used to Saw's mode of operation, so I don't want to blame Auria at this (rather early) stage of exploration.
In technical terms Auria has all the ingredients, yet the handling is clumsy (but that's a different story)
Moebius
ApeFilter
EchoPitch
ZhSh
Saffron Saturator
Squashit
Thanks for all inputs
Will try out fluxfx and apefilter
I hope more of these new apps can be used for realtime guitar manipulation and life use for some interesting options
There's a free version Flux fx Play. Worth checking (think it's still free...)
I used to have fun with Vio.
Me too...
As seangarland already mentioned, you should be aware that Flux:fx has not been updated to 64bit and so will not run on versions of iOS from 11 onwards. I'm hoping this will be fixed but have heard nothing - I wouldn't sink any money into it just yet...
Flux fx never disappoints.
How did I forget Samvada?
As the gentlemen said above, Vio is also lots of fun with the electricguitar
Timeless 2 > Saturn > Microwarmer (tweaked 'Vintage Guitar' preset)
Gives an incredible clean sound just DI.
