Amp ONE (guitar amp for iPad)
Amp ONE transforms your iPad into a high quality guitar tube preamp / guitar cabinet with a set of the most important effects for making music in real-time. Just plug your guitar and headphones / stereo and rock out!
Amp ONE uses the same principle that is used in electrical circuits simulation programs like LTSpice IV. The difference lies in the use of pre-trained models of artificial neural networks to replace an algorithm of solving systems of nonlinear differential equations. This enables hundreds of times to increase the simulation speed of electrical circuits, compared to LTSpice IV.

It is strange that no one has ever tried. Very honest sounding emulation of guitar amps .
I'd be interested if it worked on my iPhone 6.
To support the iPhone is only required to alter the design of the user interface. Now the app does not support Iphone because It do not have a suitable GUI.
have it, tried it for a couple of minutes. No verdict yet. I think it needs a noise gate. Sounds great in the videos though!

That's a good question - don't know why I forget to ask if first. Are some of the amps a bit noisy?
If you have a good 30-pin or lightning interface, noise/feedback is much more manageable than it would be with real life pedals, etc. But pretty much all the decent guitar apps have some way to manage noise. Interested in this, but curious about the noise.
I bought several guitar apps over the years, ToneStack being the most recent. I'm pretty content with JamUp / Bias. So I suppose I'd need to read credible claims something beats JamUp to try it.

I'd really like to see at least a YouTube video of this thing in action before I plop down money for another guitar app. I visited their website and there was a reply on there suggesting it works with iPad2 and newer, and I have an iPad2. Little concerned though bc it sounds heavy on circuitry and cabinet modeling, and apps like BIAS and especially anything doing convolution reverb/IR stuff can be very taxing on an older CPU. Looks interesting though.
I wish I would have had more time to try it out before leaving for the weekend. The UI was easy use, I will be curious to see if I will be able to fatten up the guitar tone tweaking things. I'd like to reproduce the sounds in the few videos posted.
I have trouble quieting things down in Tone Stack as well, which I enjoy using. Never really had that trouble with JamUp or Ampkit though.
The dev sent me a code, so I will have a demo out later sometime, is there anything in particular you want me to look at
There doesn't seem to be that much to look at besides the actual sound of the few amp sims. Not many effects, no midi foot switching, no bass specific sims, no iPhone version... So the main question would be: How does the sound compare to the competition? So an app-to-app comparison would be most interesting some time.

Agreed. Maybe the best thing would be to record a dry audio clip and re-amp it with Amp ONE. Then you could compare that with similar sims in JamUp, AmpliTube, etc.
As a guitarist first and foremost, I almost picked up Amp ONE solely for this purpose to share, since everyone on the forum had the same question, but all my money ended up going to KORG Module.
Doug, your usual run-through of the amps and a few effects would be much appreciated. And if anyone makes fun of your guitar playing again I will get very mad with them.
The demo video and stuff I've read suggests this may be slanted a bit more towards higher gain playing. If so, it might be a nice alternative to the excellent Flying Haggis. But maybe let us know in the video if there is any excess noise. Thanks!
The app has an unique feature. "Oversampling" as a special algorithm for improving the actual sound of the amp sims. You could set the oversampling type (x2, x4, x8), and the higher rate, the more realistic sound (and the more CPU it uses).
OK so I'll look at all that then, the video will have to be tomorrow now as I have some stuff that need to be sorted out, I will say its a bit noisy but the modelling seems to be very very good, you get four effects models, one of them being the Roland Dimention D, cool.
I got around the noise by putting tone stack in the FX slot of AB and just sticking a single Gate In, worked like a charm

Thanks. I'm likely to try this out either way - I think i have all the guitar apps except for AmpliTube stuff, which never impressed me. If you come from being accustomed to buying real guitar gear, even the pricier apps and IAP's feel dirt cheap for what you get.
I have some performance concerns about the oversampling stuff but I'm sure it can be adjusted like anything else. It has an auto setting where it is supposed to reduce the oversampling if it senses it is using too much CPU. I think this app sounds interesting and it seems to be using a different method to get sound then the other traditional modeling apps.
Hadn't thought of this before until I read what Doug wrote about using tonestack as a noise gate, but is almost a need for an FX slot noise gate they can kill sound under a certain threshold. That would be. A bit of a niche product however since most of the synths and other ios music apps probably don't need it, only guitar. On an older iPad, I would worry about using ToneStack in the FX slot since it is somewhat CPU hungry. That being said, it uses a lot less CPU when you completely remove the amp and cabinet from the equation.
I think, as a rule, any dev putting together an amp-modeling app—particularly a high-gain one—needs to include a noise gate. That, to me, is even more important than a built-in tuner.

Agreed. JamUp, Agile Ampkit, Flying Haggis, BIAS, ToneStack, Amplitube...I believe all of these have some version of functional noise control.
+1 on amp apps and a gate. Dev must have a reaaaaallly nice signal path to not of have noticed the need.
Love the design of this app. I could really do without all of the visual hardware emulations in other guitar apps (so could my ram).
Oh I'm loving this! Latency is almost non-existent, very direct sound. Somehow there doesn't seem to be as much noise as I'd expected from the comments here even though I'm using just a humble Rocksmith cable and CCK...
Air 2 iOS 8.1.1
How's the sound? Somebody mentioned it being a little thin, but I couldn't tell if they actually had the app or were referencing the horrible beta video where he ran his iPad into a Marshall combo and then mic'ed it from the other side of the room. Haha.
I love the sound, it's anything but thin, and there are various things you can do to it to fatten it up even more, such as oversampling and cab/mic simulation. But even without oversampling it sounds great. I haven't had much time to test oversampling, it does seem to introduce artifacts (cpu overload?) at times but it can be tweaked, including a cpu overload protection setting.
Artifacts on an Air 2? Are you running anything else in the background?
No, nothing in the background. But I just realized have yet to reboot after the install, and test more, perhaps I had ridiculous settings, haven't read the manual/help either. Nonetheless, I could fix it easily by switching off oversampling. Maybe there are buffer settings that I have overlooked. No time for that tonight though.
@mmp - thanks! Still concerned about performance but good to hear it sounds good! Worthwhile risk for 10 bucks
This is the dude who is behind the Mercuriall JMC800 desktop plug in that's been around for a long time and is really popular (I have it).
this is really interesting.
Anyway, I bought it. $10 is more than fair.
That was me with the thin. Comment. I'm glad to hear it was just my limited time and ignorance on the app.
Did some more playing this morning. No artifacts this time. Also tried with AB recording into Auria with Svep in FX, no issues at 256 buffer setting in AB, with oversampling at 8x.
So rebooting did fix the issues I'd been having...
I just downloaded this morning (Sunday here in the U.S.). Only had about 5-10 minutes with it (more tonight) but I was instantly impressed. The Marshall and MESA Treadplate were two of the best versions of those I have heard on iOS. TONS of realistic low end, similar to the thump of a large cabinet (though I had a pair of Sennheisers on the have a strong low end, so that probably contributed to it).
There is also a Blues Junior III, which I didn't realize and that gets completely clean, so it's a nice balance. Input and output levels are clearly displayed on the top left.
I have an ipad2, which is about the oldest device they recommend running it on. I was prepared for some audio glitches or difficulty recording. Didn't try AudioBus yet, but in a straight thru jam, it responded great. You can turn oversampling off or from 2x to 8x. I had it up to 4x and didn't notice any obvious issues. I expect there would be on my device, however.
The one exception to all that positivity is that one of the models is an EVH5150, and it was not working properly on any setting. Don't know if the programming behind the circuitry is more complex on that one or what, but it was a crackly mess, and that didn't seem to be true of the other apps at all. Will report this in my review.
The reverb on this is phenomenal. We're talking BIAS good. And unlike BIAS, you have chorus and delay within the app. The workflow is similar to flying haggis in terms of having everything all on one screen. But the amps are much heavier and nastier! I expect some hiccups here but this one has real potential, IMO.
It has its own thread but here is my demo, it really does sound great to me
