![]() ![]() Īnyway, I have hot pickups, my iPad output is set to greater than 50%, etc., and I have been getting plenty of volume live without feedback issues. I know there IS an acoustic amp in the AmpKit lineup that might behave differently for you? I haven't tried it so. I imagine the resonance and feedback issues with an acoustic would be very different than with an electric. Sorry, I might not be able to help much, since I have only used electric guitar with this setup, not acoustic. I get great results on it at home but I do have to turn my sound system up quite loud to get the volume. Is there ways of getting this right? Pleeeease help. If I turn up I get feedback even if I adjust the input/output settings or feedback control. You use the ampkit with iRig live?! I've been trying to plug my acoustic guitar into iRig and through ampkit or amplitube to then go through a P.A and I get quiet sound. And it just sounds more "authentic" (to my ears). AmpKit nailed that for me, and has more variety in amp/stomp options. I just needed a good, solid, versatile virtual rig. I really don't need a 4 track recorder or whatever else they've got going on extra with AmpliTube. Overall, I like the amp sim features of AmpKit more than AmpliTube. Oh, with the "gainy" amp sims, make SURE you turn on the little red noise suppression button to avoid feedback. The other sims are great too, but those come to mind as ones that were very much worth the extra money to nail certain tones. My Metallica covers sound VERY authentic using this model, both clean and high-gain. Taos - this is their sim of a Mesa Dual-Rec, and I think it nails it. weakness? they should have put a verb in the amp sim, but I made up for it with a virtual verb pedal in the chain. I switch to that model, played, and immediately said to myself, "Yep, that's a Fender Twin alright.". Peavey Classic 30 (both clean and dirty channels) - good solid "bread and butter" cleans and a good solid "rock" dirty sound with some warmth.Īmerican Dual - their take on the Fender Twin. But remember: off-axis mic setting is the key.Ī few of my favorite amp models that I actually purchased: You just have to be prepared to tweak and tune a little bit more. But by going in and moving the virtual mic off-axis, BAM, everything warmed up quite nicely!Īlso, now that I have my "bread and butter" tones set up, I've been using AmpKit on my iPad for actual live gigging.Īnd you know what? It sounds GREAT. One issue is, by default, AmpKit has the mic sim set at on-axis. IMHO, while the default "out of the box" presets of AmpliTube sound less harsh than the ones in AmpKit, once I experimented with both apps significantly, I decided I liked the overall results I was getting from AmpKit better than AmpliTube. I own the iRig adapter and full versions of both apps.
