BIAS AMP 2 - for iPhone App Reviews

The real deal

Superior and customizable tone beyond anything youve ever seen. I havent even delved into the metal/distortion amps yet.

Amazing

Sound quality, variety and versatility are the best on the market for the price. No crashes on iOS 8.1 iPhone 5S.

Love this app, but it has some issues

This app is amazing. I sold my expensive processor unit, because this app covers my practice needs, while the desktop versions covers recording. The only problem Ive encountered so far is that when I tried to sign in to the tone cloud with this app - it crashed and now I cant even launch it. Thats sad, I hope itll be addressed eventually.

Great Tone

This app has amazing sound, especially when the amps are used in Jamup. No guitar player would regret buying this amp, but I recommend getting the positive grid pack to save money on bias and Jamup, as well as three other useful apps. Saves you a total of like 15 bucks

If u own a guitar then u need this app

Great app!! Works flawlessly. Looks great. Decent price also. Work with the app jam uk also. U need this app

Amazing

Best amp modeling software and app I have ever used (this includes guitar rig and amplitube) I use this as my main rig, write and record with it. You can customize the amp to your liking without spending thousands of dollars and pairing it with jamup makes it even better!

Astonishingly awesome

Unbelievably awesome! Havent touched the amps/gear Ive spent thousands of dollars on since Ive discovered BIAS & Positive Grid. No need for them now. And, all of this is on my freaking phone. Its too good to be true. You need this app.

Beautifully Brutal

Best modeler on the app market. Positive Grid took JamUp and made it spectacular! If you love or even like to play guitar GET THIS APP!!! It will not disappoint!

Simply the best

The best amp sim out there period.

Weird artifacts, distortions etc

For some reason I cant get this software to work as Im imagining it should. Ive tried two different electric guitars,3 different cables, double and triple checked my connections and theres still a lot of crap in there in the signal. Ive played guitar since 1975 so I know what its supposed to sound like. I have an iPhone 6 and the Jamup interface with an apple converter so it will work on newer iPhones.

The best guitar app thus far

First off I will say I am NOT a fan of Jamup. Jamup was a great idea poorly executed. This app, Bias, is on the complete flip side. Yes, there are some digital artifacts, but minimal of all the apps Ive seen so far. Also, if you disable your cellular data for all apps and disable wifi you will have less RF interference while playing. I play progressive metal and Djent. It took me about 5-10 minutes to dial up a tone I really liked vs Jamup which I have not found a solid amp. You can export your amp models to Jamup and they do sound much better than what in app purchases provide. The reason I rated 4 stars- tone qualify changes slightly and more background noise is present when you export to Jamup. I have emailed Positive Grids support and they areole than willing to work with you on suggestions and troubleshooting. But the Bias app itself is everything I could have asked for in a portable practice setup. I am using it on my IPhone 5C with no issues. Great job on this one Positive Grid!

Pretty awesome app

I cant believe this thing sounds this good coming from my phone I never thought I would ever like anything like this. I know most guitarist put this app down but you know how guitarist are stuck on 1950s technology. Some of the few complains were that it feels like ever amp was design for modern metal or classic tube clean amps and nothing else. And the high gain was focus on low end I rather just use my my boss me 70 for lead solo. I wish they would have gave you crazy effects too instead of just basic effects. Another cool thing too is this thing actually sounds like an axe fx 2 on some of the tones. Who knows maybe people will be usein apps and tablets in bout 10 years for guitar tone and one more thing this thing sounds better than some of the actually gear I have which is pretty insane.

This update killed custom panel graphics

No longer will any imported custom panel graphics display or save properly. Even all graphics from the Strandberg panels have disappeared showing incomplete amp panels. Same thing happens when exporting the Bias models to JamUp Pro... The custom graphics will no longer show up there either. This all worked fine until the latest update.

Stay away from the in app purchases

Its the best sounding modeler Ive heard, unfortunately the in app purchases are not worth it. To start with, though they dont tell you, you cant share them between your iPhone and iPad. Thats like buying an upgrade on your desktop and not being able to use it on your laptop. Also the in app purchases show up in your custom section along side all of the time cloud downloads and as far as I could tell so far the new cabinets cant be shared with all of the app default amps. It seems the expansion packs are more like patches than new amps. I tried using bias with bias fx on an iPad 2 and its a constant clipping/dropout situation. The same goes for audiobus and these apps, so you want the latest iPad.

Waste

Nothing special about this. Positive grid is such a scam

Great tones and tweakability

This is my favorite guitar amp sim. Along with JamUp pro for the fx, just great tones throughout. The ability to "mod" many different aspects of your pre and power amp sections is what makes this amp sim stand apart for all the others. A must have for players that want the best tones outside of actually playing a great tube amp....Bias is it!

Dissatisfied

Needs a TON of work, not even close to a real amp or axe fx like they describe, Ive tried everything in this app and still after months can not even get a decent tone

Great Amps!!

Great app to run a couple of my hardware boutique stompboxes through. Sounds better than my practice ampz Nice selection of tweakable amps. I love it!!

Wont run on OS 9.1

Wont run on OS 9.1 on my Ipad or my iPhone 6. Just freezes when its opened and does nothing.

Worst VST EVER

I bought this and seen it on countless YouTube videos being remarked as something useful with decent sound and well went to check it out. I bought the iRig 2 as well and came in plugged it in and when I was ready, horrible sound came out. Too much feed back,too much distortion, the sound wasnt anything good and it sounded like I was playing diarrhea. The Line 6 Spider sounds better than this to say the least. One of the worst purchases ever.
