BIAS AMP 2 - for iPhone App Reviews

This is quite the amp modeling software. Its particularly impressive when the portable factor is taken into account. Garage Band has decent amp modeling, but nowhere near the tweak ability that BIAS has. The possibilities are nearly endless with the number of different tweaks that are available. Then theres the Tonecloud. If you dont want to make your own amp model, steal somebody elses. Easy. If you want a portable amp modeler, grab this before the price goes up.

Ive seen it in the ads. Ive noticed in was on iPads. And now, finally, its on my iPhone! Perhaps the best $5 I have spent in a very long time. This app takes your guitar tone to where your imagination can reach. I can custom design my own amp, AND, drag it into my JamUp app. You will not be disappointed. Buy It!!

My samplers disabled! Still... 5 stars cause I love this app like a fat kid loves cake.

I had trouble with iPad version of BIAS and its not working properly with iPhone version either. It does not make any noise in the BIAS app, but it works when you port the amp to Jamup XT. Perhaps adding output selection would solve this. I dont think the Jamup Plug is to blame because it works perfectly fine in Jamup XT. I will be glad to change the rating once this issue has been acknowledged and fixed. Another $8 that has seemingly gone to waste for now. Hopefully a fix will make my $28 (iPad version added) spent on these apps worth it. Also, I felt like most of the 5 star reviews as of now were not from ordinary customer; meaning they are associated with Positive Grid.

Very nice sounding amps! Creamy tubes!

Using apogee jam and 90s Japanese Fender Strat Input levels really change the character of the amps, so you may need to run the input levels fairly high, especially if the sound seems too clean and glassy. Also you may want to turn the "room control" room ambience off at first. I was crazy impressed by: The high detail and character in the sound, especially the warm tube sound. All of the stuff you could adjust and mess with that was much more than just eq. The huge variety of sounds you could get, from Marshall stack to Silvertone. The way you can get a high gain big distortion sound without harsh high end. The things I thought could be better: The "room control" reverb is really dark and tanky and mono. There is no reverb or tremelo in the amp models. The room reverb does not seem to interact with the mic position. It plays well with Garage Band by starting the audio recorder instrument then plumb in Bias with Inter App Audio. Then you can use Garage Bands really rich wide stereo reverb for a good room sound.

I have an iPhone 5c and use the jamup plug exclusively (for now). I run a Fender GLS into it, as well as an old 61 Norma, a Lanikai concert ukulele, an active Ibanez fretless whose model escapes me at the moment. They all sound as they should, amp models are accurate, tone shaping control is exceptional and the amps I create port into Jamup Pro XT as they should. I like to use in-ears most often. Regular earbuds work just fine as well. If I want to get loud I can run it to a plain old home stereo. Its a great app to have when you hit up the guitar shops to test instruments. No waiting for the stereotypical willy wanker to pipe down or begging for a cable from inattentive staff. (Im not sayin, Im just sayin)

I had it for 3 days or so on my iPhone 4...and now after an update its gone! Only works on iPhone 4s or newer after the last update. Bull!&$@ I want my $10 returned please.

You will not find anything better at this price.

I didnt knew that you could tweak an amp so much! Im impressed. AWESOME guitar app!

Pleaseeee Do not include any inapp purchase .. Please dear developer .. This fancy apps is the best of the beast for guitar Fx

This app is all that and more! It lets you do things that would otherwise be impossible! And is as easy as playing Angry Birds! This and Jamup are gonna make me break down and buy an Ipad. Just get it!

In addition to being a monster tone-building app, is also a valuable teaching tool.

Right now Jamup/Bias, Ampkit, and Tone Stack are the best amp simulators for iOS in my opinion. Each are outstanding in their own right and each bring something special to the table. Their are a few other apps around that sound darn good as well (Amplitube Hendrix, Flying Haggis, etc.) But it is hard to go wrong with the top three I have listed above. Bias on its own sounds terrific. The metal amps are killer in particular to my ears. Combined with Jam-up, Bias becomes almost an unstoppable monster. Why? Not every guitar will sound good with certain amps. With Bias you can dive in deep and tweak or create an amp or several amps that will sound good with the guitar you are using. When you are done tweaking you can load your custom amps into Jam-up to take advantage of all the additional features Jam-up offers. In summary, different people will like the sound of a particular product over another time an again. However, with Bias you can change the sound of the product in ways far beyond any guitar amp simulator I have found on iOS. It really does feel like having a custom amp workshop in your pocket. In this regard, it is hard to imagine that if someone spends some time with Bias, they will be unable to dial in a quality amp sound. It is that good!

If youve wrestled with dialing in the tone youre looking for, this app is a must. Use a digital interface. I think Ive played around with every modeling app and VST plugin out there, as well as just used the hardware, and Im really blown away with BIAS. Good work, genius internet strangers.

Build your own amp from the ground up! Amazing control & options! Sounds so awesome through a PA too! Very well designed app, and very easy to use. Unlimited possibilities when paired with JamUp xt!

The app is amazing.... but it seems to glitch when you go from BIAS to Jamup Pro and then back to BIAS to choose another amp. The amp selections are blank besides the one your originallly chose. This might be an iOS 8 issue..... but ive contacted support and still waiting for a reply. Im on an iphone 5s

Nice app, but Audiobus connectivity does not work. Until it does this is pretty much useless for me.

I enjoy this app so much, I considered to buy a desktop version for my laptop, but after resent update app doesnt start, just shows startup logo. I have no idea what to do. Still giving 5 starts because when it worked it was a killer amp app by far better than anything on a market.

CRASHES ALL THE TIME
