IK Multimedia Releases AmpliTube for iPad

Yo, rockers. I bet this is one of the apps for the iPad you were looking forward to: the first version of AmpliTube for iPad was released in the App Store earlier today, and it comes with a free version [iTunes link] and a paid one sold at $19.99 [iTunes link].

Using the Amplitube iRig interface adapter you’ll be able to connect your guitar to your iPhone at anytime, anywhere. The UI design looks very cool, and of course it resembles the looks of real amps.

“You will be able to choose between 5 amps (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Metal, Bass) with full controls, 11 stompbox effects (Delay, Fuzz, Overdrive, Wah, Envelope Filter, Chorus, Flanger, Phazer, Octave, Noise Filter + Distortion once registered), 5 speaker cabinets and 2 microphones (dynamic and condenser).

Plus, AmpliTube for iPad features a chromatic digital tuner and a metronome and you can also import and play along with your own songs or backing tracks with real time effects, and create, save and recall up to 36 presets on the fly.”

Cool. Go download the app here.
