AmpKit forces you to pre-load your tracks one-by-one via your computer over WiFi. PocketAmp gives you access to your ENTIRE iPod library and offers the ability to fast forward, rewind and pause. While both offer the ability to play along to tracks of your choosing, PocketAmp REALLY got this one right. Where I think Pocket Lab Works “PocketAmp” takes the lead: Granted, guitarists may have a different experience. The Pocketamp was a bit noisy and thin sounding for my bass. Especially when using the EQ effect pedal with 10-band EQ, I was able to dial in a noise-free and totally acceptable sound easily. Personally, I also think that Peavey Ampkit sounds better. In addition to amp modeling you get a tuner, metronome, the ability to record yourself playing and the ability to string MULTIPLE effects together.
AMPKIT BACKING TRACKS FREE
Where I think Peavey’s “Ampkit” takes the lead:Īmpkit does offer a bit more for your money (especially if you use the FREE version which, for me is completely adequate).

I experienced no latency with either app (running on my iPhone 3GS and/or iPad 3G). If you’re looking for live implementation, while, yes, it’s possible, I don’t think you’d be happier than with the real thing. NONE of the given effects are going to replace that pedal board on stage. Both offer a range of effects, but keep in mind. It is even recommended on the PocketAmp website, actually. Since, for the most part, these two apps do the same thing so I’ll simply break down the differences between them.īoth require a cable of one sort or another to work and the AmpKit AmpLink works incredibly well.

I can say that I enjoyed both very much, but there are some definite pros and cons involved with each so, if you have yet to purchase an app like this for your iPhone, hopefully this will help you decide between two of the star players in the arena!īoth apps offer an array of sounds and effects and both allow you to play along to tracks of your choosing. I also happened to be invited to test out PocketAmp as well, so I thought I’d follow up with a comparison of the two.
AMPKIT BACKING TRACKS SOFTWARE
Some were praising the software and some said, “what about Pocketamp?”.

So I’ve gotten quite a few messages since posting my review of Peavey’s Ampkit software for iPhone.
