*****
Premier Guitar: "AmpKit is the most impressive amp modeling software that I've encountered for the iPhone."

Ars Technica: "Agile Partners' better hardware, beautiful graphics, abundance of effects, and the ability to use more than three effects simultaneously make that application a winner in our book."

CrunchGear: "AmpKit's guitar tones are great! From crushing distortion to kooky tremolo, there are many tones to choose from and it is easy to navigate through the options with speed and efficiency."

What's New in Version 1.3

RETINA GRAPHICS FOR NEW IPAD
- AmpKit leads the way again as one of the first guitar apps to fully embrace the new iPad’s Retina display.
- All of AmpKit’s luscious gear imagery has been re-rendered at full Retina display resolution.
- You have to see to believe: AmpKit on the new iPad looks and sounds amazing.

NEW GEAR & PRESETS
The AmpKit 1.3 Gear Store includes three great new additions, all available at special introductory pricing, as well as 14 great new presets.

World Class Bass Amplification: Trace Elliot 1215
- For the first time, iOS bass players can get a fully-featured, modern, world-class bass amplifier and cabinet!
- All the sophistication that bass players have come to love in the real Trace Elliot amps.
- Switchable valve (tube) drive circuit for fat bass distortion
- Single-touch Pre Shape circuit which delivers the classic Trace Elliot tone
- 12-band Graphic Equalizer tuned for bass frequencies.
- Dual-band compressor optimized for bass.
- All the tone fidelity you’ve come to expect in AmpKit.
- Convolution-based simulation of the 1 X 15 cabinet featuring a specially designed Celestion® speaker and high-frequency horn.

New Metal Pedal: Rocktron Metal Planet Distortion
- We love the tone on this versatile distortion pedal and bet you will too.
- True heavy metal distortion: not for the faint of heart.
- Unique mid frequency controls make it easy to duplicate the scooped heavy metal sound, or with a flip of the controls, modern rock tone.
- Amazing sustain and harmonics.

Beyond Quiet: Rocktron HUSH Noise Reduction
- Rocktron’s legendary HUSH noise reduction circuit, a standard for touring guitarists since 1984, is now available in AmpKit! If you aren’t using the HUSH, you aren’t using real noise reduction for guitar.
- When used properly, the HUSH will wipe out hiss and pickup buzz.
- The HUSH circuit, faithfully simulated in AmpKit, delivers 65dB of signal cleanup, while your music signal integrity remains unaffected.
- In other words, get rid of the noise without altering your tone!
- Also works great in tandem with AmpKit’s Noise Gate for ultra-high-gain setups.

NEW FEATURES
- Extended support for digital guitar interfaces.
- Updated headset input compensation to support the new iPad (3rd Generation) and iPhone 4S.
- On multi-channel amps, setups now save the settings for all channels.

Customer Reviews

Impressive update (5 stars)
v1.3 Review:

Well, the Bass amp situation changed, and for the better - a Trace Elliot amp is now in the picture, and it sounds very close to the real deal. This update was well worth the wait.

I have yet to see what comes of the upcoming LiNK from Peavey/Agile Partners brings, but running a Apogee Jam really makes the Trace sound great.

AmpKit almost doubled in size, but it's a quality update with new presets, ef

Alright (3 stars)
It sounds pretty good thru head phones but I'm using th ampkit link and I cant use the speaker on the iPod

Best for iPad (5 stars)
Usually I don't rate apps, but I feel I need to with this one. First of all, there are only three real modeling options for the iPad: this, Amplitube, and Garage Band. Garage Band is a cool program, but the modeling is not so hot. That leaves this and Amplitube. Both sound great. Why this is a big winner over Amplitube...true multitasking! If you are using your iPad for things like playing to jam tracks, videos, online lessons, then this is
