![]() The best Windows alternative is Guitar Rig. That will make for a much faster recovery time. Ampkit is not available for Windows but there are plenty of alternatives that runs on Windows with similar. AmpKits in-app Gear Store offers the largest gear selection of any amps and. AmpKit is available in two versionsAmpKit, a free app, and AmpKit+, 19.99 U.S.on the iTunes App Store. won the Gold Award from Guitar World and was a finalist in the 2011 SXSW Interactive Awards. If the intent is to have large control grid current, then select a driver tube with a lot more current capability, and put an interstage transformer between the driver tube's output and the control grid of the output tube. The original Peavey AmpKit LiNK was namedBest of 2011 by Music Inc. That is far below the frequency response of any output transformer and of any loudspeaker you are likely to use (and far below most recording signals too). The 240k Ohm grid resistor and 2 uF has a -3 dB low frequency cutoff at 0.33 Hz. It will take 5 time constants to recover, and 1 time constant is R x C = 0.48 seconds, so that is 2.4 seconds to get back to proper bias. Perhaps the intent was to be able to drive large values of grid current into the output tube's control grid.Ī 12AX7/ECC83 is not a good tube to drive grid current into an output tube's grid.Įven if the driver has sufficient grid current, the 2uF is going to charge up, and the bias to the output tube will shift, and take a very long time to recover. In the meantime, I’m just happy I have an iPhone (for this reason and others).The coupling capacitor is too large of a value at 2uF. IK Multimedia, the makers of Amplitube, have also said that Android currently ( in a post from February 2011) lacks the realtime audio support needed for the app to work, but that this seems to be addressed in newer Android versions. Just considering supporting that number of sub-platforms in a hardware-dependent time-critical app would probably make even the most experience software company shy away – and it has. It’s impressive it can be done so well on a phone, but one of the reasons it can be done is that there are a very small number of hardware configurations on iPhones, iPads and iPod touches.Īn uncorroborated rumor says that Rovio, the developers of Angry Birds, compile three versions for iOS and over seventy (!) versions for Android for each release. Getting an amp modeler on a computer to work without latency is not the most easy thing to accomplish. Why? Well, there are a number of reasons, the most important is hardware divergence. 26 cabinets that can be mixed and matched with various amp head and mic. 34 different effects in 30 pedals from 17 manufacturers. with Apple GarageBand and many other audio apps such as AmpKit Free. 50 amp channels in 29 separate amps from 14 different makers. slightly more expensive audio input alternatives that use the dock connector. I would appreciate it if other members here could hazard a guess (Note: The modeller order is the same for both clean/driven). I won't reveal which modeller is which until later. Included free are basic processing functions such as a Marshall-like amp simulator (clean and drive channel, reverb, eq, etc.), cab simulator, and simple stompbox delay. In the end, for home use/headphone practice, it probably boils down the which interface you like better. For basic practicing and/or jamming along to tracks though, it is a very cheap alternative to any of the above mentioned devices. Ampkit:lets you have more than 3 effects linked and it did get marks for better tone. The recorded tracks are NOT in this order. Whereas with the ampkit, you had to purchase amp models separately if you wanted a larger selection than offered. I googled a bit and I could tell immediately there is no version of AmpKit for Android, and no Amplitube either. AmpKit offers the broadest range of available gear via its in-app Gear Storea total of 114 available amp channels, cabinets, pedals and mics. The modellers used (in alphabetical order) are: Amplitube. On a forum someone asked if there’s an Ampkit for Android, or something like it. There’s also Amplitube for iPhone that does pretty much the same, even though AmpKit is my favorite. It’s a fully fledged digital amp modeler with lots of gear and recording capabilities that I’ve written about before. AmpKit is my absolute favorite iPhone app.
