The interface is perfect for laptop practice type applications, in my opinion. This is ample time to try it all out on your setup to validate you can make this work with your rig. The demo version allows you unlimited access to the amps and presets for 30 minutes at a time, but does not allow saving of new presets or favorites. Bass players rejoice, too: there are three interesting and varied bass amps and patches as well - quite a substantial collection of bass patches, branded versions of Ashdown Engineering amps - you are not forgotten.Ī demo version can be downloaded directly from the Agile Partners website so you can try it out in detail. AgilePartners has a relationship with Peavey, so many Peavey amps are featured, but the product has the usual range of American and British amp stalwarts, and the usual range of clean to filthy-dirty-metallic.Įndorsed models include Budda, Fargen, Trace Elliot, Rocktron, and Taos. The iOS version has a lot of in-app purchases for different amps and effects, but the $49 version bundles all available amp models and effects pedals. As always, if you have any questions about the product, leave a comment at the bottom of the page.ĪgilePartners has made a few really handsome apps for the iOS platform, including Tab Toolkit, the Guitar World Lick of the Day subscription app, and AmpKit, - all with graphically rich state of the art iOS interfaces and great functionality.ĪmpKit is a amp simulator, in a fairly competitive field on iOS that includes strong competition on from IKMultimedia's Amplitube and the Line 6 Mobile Pod (which I have a special fondness for, by the way, though it's tied to a specific Line 6 hardware input dongle on iOS).Īmplitube, as you probably know, is supported by an entire product line on Mac and PC, where it competes with another heavy hitter, Native Instruments' Guitar Rig.įor amp simulation on laptops and desktop computers, these two programs have long been the standard bearers, with several years of iterations behind them, several different versions, and strong user communities for sharing patches and presets.ĪmpKit for Mac is introduced for the Mac (and Mac only, sorry PC folks) to start a David-and-Goliath-like fight with this competition - but at a significantly lower price point of $49.00 on the Apple Mac App Store. Amped blogger Scott McGrath puts AmpKit for Mac through its paces, and finds some very handy features underneath the hood.
