Rock out with the iPad now
A few weeks ago I wrote about an innovative app that lets you power your electric guitar via the iPhone or the iPod Touch. Now the AmpliTube has gone big with a version optimized for the larger iPad.
The app starts at free for limited use, or $19.99 for a full range of sounds (fuzz, distortion, wah-wah, clean) but you’ll also have to spring for an additional piece of hardware, the $39.99 iRig (which comes with the $19.99 version of the app.). It’s with the iRig that you get to plug your guitar into the headphone jack of the iPhone, to power it up. For additional sound, you plug a speaker into the iRig as well. The iRig is sold at at http://www.amplitube.com/irig or Guitar Center stores.
For the iPad version, no new effects or sounds have been added–but they’ll be easier to read, as they’re now much bigger.
