We didn't think we'd be pushing the boundary by merely adding more bells and whistles to an amp simulator, so we threw out convention and focused instead on how to create the most delicious tone in as many flavors as possible.

This makes the app applicable to all guitar players regardless of style preference.īias Product Manager Calvin Abel said: 'Ask any guitarist what's most important in a guitar amp app, and you'll get the same answer: great tone. It will let you swap out tubes, preamps, distortion circuits, tone stacks, boutique power stages, custom-built transformers and cabs with specially matched speakers. You can also create your very own custom amp with the app's intuitive app designer interface. You can even change the tube's bias which probably gave the designer the idea for the app's name. Just like customizing real amps, you can swap out the tubes, preamp transformer, tone stacks, cab and mic of your virtual amp. Having these modeled amps at your disposal, you are then given the choice to use them as they are, or customize the amps to your preference. Every amp model is said to be meticulously engineered to have immediacy, sensitivity and realism. Some of the amps that were modeled even come from the 1940s. It may sound like a ridiculous claim, but reviews have been consistently good.īias starts out with 36 amp models that are based on popular vintage and modern amplifiers.

Note that they are coming into this saturated market with guns blazing, even describing the app as 'the world's most complete, accurate and versatile guitar amplifier modeler and designer'. However it looks like they are planning to fry even bigger fish with this amp modeling app, signaling their entrance into a market currently dominated by big name companies. Positive Grid has built up quite the reputation with their musician friendly iOS apps: JamUp Pro and Jam Player.
