It’s easy to use just plug in your headphones (1/8") and guitar (1/4"), plug the AmpKit LiNK into your iOS device, and it should be sensed by your audio app and have you immediately ready to roll. It’s not a simple adapter cable there’s a built-in circuit to help control crosstalk and lower feedback, powered by two AAA batteries. Originally intended for a mic and earphones, the iPad’s TRRS jack is pressed into service for audio I/O with many apps. Tip-Ring-RingSleeve, a connector that provides one channel of input and two channels of output. It’s a little white box with a non-detachable 12" cable that ends in a 1/8" TRRS plug. The AmpKit LiNK uses the iOS device’s built-in headset connections to provide input for a guitar and output for headphones. Hardware interface that matched up with AmpKit for a complete recording solution.
AMPKIT RECORDING FREE
Try the free version, but be prepared to shell out for AmpKit+ pretty quickly the amp and miking choices are great, but you’ll miss the effects. I think AmpKit’s real strong suit is its clean tones, and I think the sounds you’ll get make it a strong contender for Best All-Around Guitar App out there right now. In extreme cases, the feedback was so obtrusive that I couldn’t use the Setup, but usually I was able to juggle levels and gain settings to tame the feedback without destroying my tone. In use, the only real issue I noticed was one of feedback when using very high-gain amp models. That definitely qualifies as a “don’t do this” situation, as the crash wiped out not only the Setup I was working on but all of my other saved Setups as well. In all my trials with AmpKit, I only crashed the app once, when I tried to delete a test Setup that had over twenty effects in its signal chain. I also enjoyed the app’s many extras, like its built-in tuner and metronome with selectable sounds, preloaded backing loop tracks for jamming, iTunes song import, and a little recorder that lets you capture audio in AmpKit and then export it to compatible apps using Sonoma Wire Works’ rapidlyproliferating Audio Copy/Paste function. The effects were surprisingly flexible and easy to use, and I got a wide variety of clean and dirty sounds very quickly. The mic models offer an on/off-axis switch, which provides a dramatic change in the output tone and effectively doubles your available sound choices. Of the four amps in the app, my favorites were the ValveKing provided in the free version and the Classic Brit (a VOX model). Recording - July 2011 - 41 I had a heck of a lot of fun just with the choices in AmpKit+ as purchased.
