![]() Some of it is good, but it's sort of a mixed bag IMHO. TBH, I kind of wished I'd waited on that. If anyone knows anything about any of this, I'm all ears.įWIW, I have almost all the add-on content available for Ampkit+. I've always presumed the stuff in Ampkit is not some kind of 1:1 port over from ReValver, but it's own thing developed from the ground up. Amplitube software comes through much louder, but I dont know. The best part is all the rhythm tracks it has on it It has an E string tuner and can run on batteries or a 9v adapter. Peavey Ampkit is bizarrely quiet on my iPhone. I'd be curious to know wether that's where the similarities end or not. Its a very small and portable headphone amp with an aux input for for your Ipod (it also has 2 small external speakers running at 1 watt but theyre a joke to put it mildly). ![]() I think some of the models found in both products have the same names, and are going for the same model, and have similar graphics. Apogee jam has been there for a while too but in theory these new devices should out perform the. I know the folks who developed Ampkit (Agile Partners) are 'partners' with Peavey, but I don't know if they have any affiliation with the ReValver product or not. Ampkit boasts USB interface for pc too and a charging option. What are the notable differences between Ampkit Link HD and iRig HD Ampkit seems to have two outputs and that is what wondering, cant I use iPads own. Though I doubt it's algorithms are anywhere near as nice as those found in Revalver. Another thing I thought was odd is that graphically speaking, Ampkit looks a lot like an iOS version of ReValver. A re-amp box to convert low impedance signal to high impedance signal and further route to guitar input of your amp. With no real signs that will ever happen at this point. ![]() format, and yet we've been waiting a year now for the Link HD to become available. It struck me as curious that there was no announcement (that I was aware of) concerning the migration of Ampkit from iOS over to mac AU/VST/etc. Like maybe they were taking a wait & see approach with iOS in general? I don't know. I got the feeling there may have been a change in priorities over at Peavey regarding the Link HD. Does anyone have one yet? Has anyone even seen one for sale? In addition, they are almost the same when it comes to outer appearance. Link HD was supposed to be available for purchase sometime in Q2 this year. The Ampkit Link HD and iRig HD have a lot in common. I just got an email from the developers about that. I did note that suddenly you can now buy Ampkit in plugin format for mac. Regarding Peavey's LINK HD that was announced back in January earlier this year - you still can't buy one yet as far as I know. I've never had any feedback issues with that setup, but I don't care for using the audio jack on my iTouch with this stuff generally speaking. Tired: The guitar jack feels a little cheap when plugging in and it requires batteries for the active feedback control.I use the iRig Stomp with my Ampkit and it works fine. Wired: Extremely intuitive user interface, plenty of amps and pedals, great sound, recording capability and active gain and feedback control in hardware. Overall I like it, and I am hoping that a new gadget will get me to practice the guitar more. So I picked up iRig today when my MIL was offering to buy it for me and before I opened it I decided to check out some videos and reviews. You can also import backing tracks to play along with.Ī handy chromatic tuner, metronome and extensive and very useful help system round out the features. Its just a bypass loop for the iPhone plus an attenuator, plus a headphone jack. ![]() Read the irig stompbox literature carefully. If its communicating digitally, it would be more difficult to DIY (at least for me). The Hardware: The iRig dongle does not have any of its own power, so it. Ive done a little research on the iRig Stompbox, but havent found any explanations of how it works. ![]() This lets you quickly lay down a track and worry about the pedals later. Both the Ampkit & Amplitube software work with either hardware dongle. You can then "re-amp" your track and change up the amp and effects. It lays down both a clean and effects track. Amplitube was a bit sluggish in the UI, but rarely showed latency with the effects.Ī feature that is (so far) unique to AmpKit is the ability to record yourself. The app launches quickly, every tap produces a quick response and I didn't notice any latency in processing, even with five or six pedals chained together. The iRig went in through the headphone jack on the iPhone and all I would get was. AmpKit performed very well on my aged processor. I also owned an iPhone and have previously tried using the Amplitube iRig. They liked the AmpKit LInk with AmpKit+ the best. ![]()
