"To have it on my mobile device is really just unbelievable" That's the point i was trying so hard to make!

Looks good  gwEm. I had that software on my old Pentium 2 in the late 90's. It was good fun to play with.
I have a great little app called thumb jam on my phone. It's a loop based sequencer and you can record with the built in sounds. It has loads of scale patterns and instruments. Its good value for a few £. Some naysayers would think its a rip off though. So bollocks to them I say and do your own thing!

I've just watched the YouTube clip for this app as this wasn't on that page when I first posted it.  The tones are a lot better than I expected and they're a lot better than the amp sims in my two tascam guitar trainers. So if you play guitar and you have an iPhone then I think it would be a nice app to have. You may even get more features if you bide your time.

So, it's a headphone amp that you need to buy an iphone before you can use? For about the same price as a vox amplug or similar. Ok you can get different sounds but I don't see the quality being spectacular and on iphone hardware the latency issues (let alone touchscreen issues) must be horrendous. It's not like you need versatility from a portable device anyway, you just need to hear what you're doing. Plus what if someone calls? I'm not really seeing a use for this  :?

There's a market though, people will buy anything if you put an 'i' in front of it...

The latency is similar to that of our offerings on Mac/PC.  If someone calls (this seems to come up with every iPhone music app but is easily answered) you should probably have put the device into airplane mode before playing it with the expectation of not being interrupted. :)

...but the quality won't be any good, otherwise it would cost a lot more. Plus the iphone hardware wouldn't be up to producing anything half decent anyway...

A lot of people think that and then try our well-priced AmpliTube 3 for a change of heart.  We're musicians not just some audio conglomerate so pricing things to be affordable is something we care about.  A lot.  And the iPhone hardware is indeed up to the task.  We've developed the DSP from scratch to get the best sound and performance on the platform and we've been known to be successful at that in the past and present too (see the AmpliTube 3 comment just before this one).

I think that sounds pretty awesome! I'm seriously considering getting that!

I'm often in need of a headphone amp. Although I already own a Vox Amplug, something a bit more versatile would be very welcome.

the 70's rock one had me sold, especially when the wah came in (ok, impractical to use when playing at the same time;) )...not something i would buy an iphone for, but if i already had an iphone this is a no brainer

[tomjackson]

The clips sound great :D

I think the key to making a judgement on something like this is actually trying it before you do so.  No, not everybody will need or want this but for others it will be really handy.  I like my Micro BR but the onboard sounds are terrible, on the face of it this sounds much better.

Peter, will it work with any 3rd party 4 track apps, like this http://www.sonomawireworks.com/iphone/fourtrack/

I've just sent these links to my brother-he has an Iphone and will love this.

I can see a need for a big toe here! I'd get this just for some big toe action on my phone! :lol:

I'm going to have to get this. I do love my tascam CD and the mp3 guitar trainers with the built in mics for learning songs but I always put pedals in front of it as I don't think much of their on board sounds. They do a grand job in other areas though.

Thanks!  The free version will include audio clips to listen to through the amps/cabs/FX/etc before purchasing the iRig which will hit shelves later than the app most likely.  So people can try it out in that way soon.

It is hard to get audio back and forth between apps without import/export so at this point no direct way.  However, we're working on things that just may interest those of you interested in that sort of functionality :)

[ZigZag]

I think this is going to be awesome.  Amplitube in your pocket for the win!  Ready for them to release this.
