IK reveals AmpliTube iRig for iPhone and iPad!

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

Peter, what is your view on other guitar solutions for the iPhone, namely Agile Partners AmpKit? Is there concern in the IK group about competitors, or do you guys think that you've got enough reputation not to worry?

Thanks!

Well, I would download that one and try it, however... ;)

Seriously, though, I'd have to wait and see. It isn't like we don't have good competition in the other markets we are in (amp sims, mixing/mastering plugins, reverb, virtual instruments, room analysis/correction, controllers/interfaces, etc).  Competition begets quality.  If we were the only ones we could rest on laurels that weren't 100% deserved.

To those that downloaded it, and perhaps those thinking about it, I've been told that this "Quick Start" video was really helpful:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMgKCO-pvcY

I got the full version and its great!  At the moment I am playing through the PRS Guitar Bud (until the IRig ships).  One odd thing is - If you do volume swells (i.e. volume control up and down a number of times) it seems turn the Ipod on and cause the Amplitube to crash.

- I hope this is because the Guitar Bud is not fully compatible  - as it is quite annoying to get an MP3 in the middle of playing  :D

Correct, we do not recommend the PRS cable.  Ours is different and provides the proper signal for the device and app.  I know it is hard to wait for the real interface for this but it will be worth it!

Two days now, almost here.  I hope your local dealers have one to try too.  It really is a great tool.  Some dealers are even asking about the second shipment, seems like preorders at dealers are also quite hot at the moment.

One more day for Europe... anybody have one on the way?

great idea for tone on the go, that's for sure. and nicely priced too!

Downloaded the free app. Loved it.  Then bought the full Amplitube app.  It rocks! Ready for the iRig now!

Thanks guys.  Here's an interesting one - Gizmodo Japan seems to enjoy AmpliTube iRig (even gets to using a foot to control it!)  http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8025967

Probably doesn't even record.... if so, it's completely worthless, unless you have some candy-ass in your band who doesn't like carrying gear and thinks he can plug straight into the PA.

Yeah cos most guitar players with this app are going to gig with it to save carrying their rig on the bus eh!  :lol:
Tom Scholz invented the Rockman headphone amp in the 80's and guitar players loved it. That didn't record either and it didn't make it useless
