BIAS AMP 2 Mobile is a professional virtual amp designer that offers replications of 36 of the best vintage, modern and boutique amps in rock. The app gives you the power to create new sounds by designing your own dream amplifier, letting you swap out tubes, preamps, power amps, transformers, tone stacks, cab, and microphones, all via a powerful and intuitive interface designed for your iPhone. Whether you’re a classic rocker, metalhead, jazz player, bluesman or singer-songwriter - and whether you understand how amplifier electronics work or not - you’ll be dialing in killer and exclusive tones in a heartbeat.

BIAS AMP 2 Mobile adds a host of new features, including a powerful new user interface, new preamp and power amp tubes, tone stacks, Blues and Bass amp packs, new Dynamic Tone Control, new speaker cabinet module with multi-mic capability and open/closed back cabinet emulation and much more. In addition to all of these amazing new features, we’ve also partnered with legendary Celestion to create brand new custom multi-mic speaker cabs using their famed impulse responses! (Additional preamp, power amp and cab models are available via in-app purchase)

BIAS AMP 2 Mobile seamlessly integrates with Positive Grid’s ToneCloud®, which is far more than a simple storage tank for your own custom tones - it’s an active community where thousands of guitarists upload, share and discuss tones. The ToneCloud® gives you access to thousands of custom amps created by artists, recording studios and guitarists like you, so you’ll never lack for sonic inspiration.

To take your tones to the next level, there are 9 full-featured reverbs in BIAS AMP 2 Mobile. These aren’t just simple two-knob reverbs either - they range from lush halls and chambers to intimate rooms, and each reverb has control of decay time, mix level, high and low cut filters, damping and dwell.

BIAS AMP 2 Mobile integrates seamlessly with Positive Grids BIAS FX and JamUp guitar multi-effects app, expanding BIAS AMP 2 Mobile into a powerful and completely unified professional guitar system for live use, recording and jamming. Both JamUp and JamUp Pro include effects processors, Jam player, 8-track recorder and phrase sampler, tuner and metronome, effectively turning BIAS AMP 2 Mobile into a recording studio and top-of-the-line practice utility.

BIAS AMP 2 Mobile also works with GarageBand and other audio apps using iOS’s Inter-App Audio and Audiobus. Whether you’re recording, writing songs or honing your chops—at home or on the road—BIAS products place unequaled tone at your fingertips.

Pros and cons of BIAS AMP 2 - for iPhone app for iPhone and iPad

BIAS AMP 2 - for iPhone app good for

Love it on the iPad, love it on the iPhone! Havent tried the desktop version yet.
Best modelling software Ive used (never tried an Axe Fx II/XL or Kemper) and lots of creative possibilities, especially when combined with JamUp.
Amazing amp modelling, right down to the style of DC transformer. Could use a few more mic choices.
The app works very well until at some point it crashes every time you open it up I have reinstall it so it can work again
Suddenly, Bias could not sync Jampro. It might after update? It need to recoverly update.

Some bad moments

If you use both iphone and ipad stat away from bias. If you buy any expansion pack, they wont be transferable from the iphone to the ipad, you will have to pay it all twice! If you use both device, Amplitude is a much better solution!
I wish I could make better use of this app, but I am getting periodic pops, clicks, and dropouts in the audio every few minutes. the normal and low latency modes are both affected. using an iPhone SE with no other applications running. when it is working, it sounds awesome, but it is not useful for anything more than practice.
iPhone 6. Attempts at sharing up to ToneCloud result in a hard crash. Restarting phone multiple times, app will not reboot. Requires delete and reinstall. All user data lost.
Lets see...rather than improve jamup quality, they split jamup into 2 new offerings (bias and fx), you still also have to pay for all expansion packs (again) and they dont disclose that you have to pay for both iPhone and iPad versions (and all expansion packs yet again). Id give 0 stars for this crap if I could.
And responding I emails like "well consider improving it" Jamup presents a buy page, then takes you to bias thru App Store button, then bias opens the wrong amp, and when going back to jamup presents buy buttons again when they are all already bought, and the amp is same as was in jamup before not edited.
I cant believe each update adds in-app and nothing free..thats a shame!!
