If not, I'll still use it-but I won't enjoy it as much.Īhhh, crap. I'm returning the iRig and ordering the Ampkit link in hopes that there will be less noise. Didn't dig into it enought to see whether it's useful yet.Ĭonclusion: The only choice for me is Ampkit. It has to expand every track, and has a tiny hard limit of how many tracks it can handle. If you want to use your iPod to practice against backing tracks, Amplitube is completely worthless. The Ampkit one is so bad, I preferred using the graphic EQ as a notch filter. The Amplitube noise gate works very well. If you use Ampkit with the iRig, you get snap, crackle, pop, and hiss.
Amplitube does some internal compensation to deal with crosstalk and noise with the iRig interface. For day to day practice, both are acceptable. Maybe a slight edge in dynamics to Amplitube. The amp models are tied for low to mid gain. Or - get Peavey Ampkit and just buy the amps/effects you really need and the Peavey Link if you're willing to put up with batteries for a bit more volume and less risk of crosstalk/interference.Īfter trying out both apps with the iRig I thought I'd share my thoughts:

I'd say go for the Amplitube combo deal if you want to have a lot of features for not very much money at all (and the sims are all probably good too, although the Marshall-thing in the free deal is pretty noisy and the noise gate drastically changes the sound of the amp). It definitely sounds good though and the Peavey high-gain sim included in the free package is really good too. As to the quality of the sims, I prefer the Peavey/Agile deal - but the costs add up quickly, in fact I think I spent something like 12 just on the Fender Twin amp sim and a compressor and delay. Works great with both programs, downside is that it needs batteries but I wanted to make sure to have as much volume as possible without interference and crosstalk. I just downloaded the free versions of both apps and I'm using the Peavey connector. After a while, I really just wanted a clean tone, and the range of the amp only went from mildly distorted to highly overdriven."ĭid you get a different feel from the articles? The tone was decent, but not very versatile. Obviously, it wasnt as authentic as standing right in front of a good, healthy tube amp, but man was it close."Īnd this was from the iRig/Amplitude version, " I connected to my wireless network and quickly uploaded an MP3 of AC/DCs Kicked In The Teeth, and jammed along for a while, exploring the tonal range of the softwares included amplifier. The articles weren't very long, but this was from the Ampkit version, " The sound quality just blew me away in terms of frequency response and feel, and I couldnt believe that I was hearing such great tones through my tiny earbud headphones. Please note you must first be logged in to diyAudio before you post your comment here.That's the article (here's a somewhat shorter URL: ) - my impression from reading it was that the Agile Partners application left the reviewer more impressed. If you have any comments or tips on any step please leave a comment. Please print out the correct wiring diagram to match your batch (steps 33 and 34), and refer to it while you build. While some colors are unchanged, there are now more unique color pairs, and we have updated the wiring diagrams with the new colors, however the photos and videos in the guide have not yet been updated.
Please note that the wire colors have changed in batch 3. The biggest changes are a different layout of the PCB, inclusion a front mount power switch, and the rear switch is now used for RCA input stereo/mono. The schematic is the same, and part numbers are the same. The differences between the 1.5 and 1.6 are fairly minor - the circuit is identical to the previous version, all the parts other than some chassis mounted components are the same. This is the build guide for the Amp Camp Amp v1.6.
