It’s amazing how much worse a recording can sound compared to how you think it sounds when you play. I sometimes record myself practicing just to get a feel for where I am learning new songs. I use the recording feature in AmpKit all the time. The biggest flaw of JamUp is the lack of proper recording.
#REAMP THORUGHT AMP SIM PATCH#
I really like that the patch buttons are quite large, they will work much better in rehearsal or live compared to say selecting a patch from a drop down menu. The patch preset system has just 16 slots, but to be honest I can’t say I use more than three of four patches. It might be a small detail, but the tuner’s large display and analog dial makes it easier to tune more exactly than in AmpKit, which has a smaller digital display. The sampler/looper feature is nice for say whipping up a 16 bar rhythm to have as a background for solo improv. The slow-down feature is also great, the best practice of new songs is playing them clean at slower speed and then increasing to full. It’s infuriating when you’re practicing a solo to have to sit through the start of the song or having to create a custom backtrack of just the solo part. The most important one is the ability to create a custom loop. The Jam part has features that I have wanted since I started using amp sims on my phones. The signal chain is really easy to modify and I like that you can see all of it and easily change the order of units and switch them on and off by dragging and dropping. Badly implemented amp sims have artifacts fizzle, and those really stand out more the more you crank up the gain. In the short time I’ve tested it so far (a couple of hours) I managed to create really good high-gain tones – usually a difficult area for digital amp sims. Positive Grid allegedly put a lot of time into the amp modeling and signal processing, and it shows – the sound quality is excellent.

The tuner is pretty basic like in most other amp sims, but is full screen and has large analog dial.
To keep your rhythm there’s a built-in metronome that you can set manually or by tap. You can record your playing, play it back looped and then overdub the loop with new playing. Sampler is a a looper with dub functionality. Imported songs can be looped in full, you can loop a region and you can change speed and pitch. JamUp also registers as a handler for music, so you can import backtracks via email or apps like DropBox. It can import songs from the iTunes library on your phone.

To update a preset with the current signal chain, just hold the preset button. Presets are saved signal chains, a total of sixteen presets grouped into four groups of four each. You can drag and drop these seven slots to any individual order (like placing the amp last and delay first if you want to). There are seven slots for noise gate, pre-amp pedals like dists, overdrives and compressors, the amp and cab, eq, delay, modulator and reverb. JamUp has a visual signal chain where you can drag and drop pedals in and out of the chain to easily turn them on or off. The amp simulation and effects is the heart of any app of this kind. JamUp has six main features: Amp simulation and effects (signal chain), presets, jam (to backtracks), sampler and tuner.

The guys at Positive Grid sent me a copy of the Pro version of JamUp to try out. Newest on the market is JamUp from Positive Grid. There are numerous apps that provide virtual amplifiers and cabs, effects, miss etc.
Noone following this blog could have missed that I use my guitar with my iPhone all the time.
