![]() I'm certainly enjoying practising on my iphone. Hope this info helps some other poor soul not decided yet on what interface to get, and worried about latency. Just now waiting on this mysterious AC adaptor to be released. So, so far I'm very happy with the Ampkit Link HD. I can increase the Ampkit Link HD input gain though as much as I want, on the Ampkit Link HD itself, and this makes a big difference to the guitar tone. I sent the Line6 Sonic Port back though, as its input gain was far too low, and there is no way to adjust it on the interface, and using the software/app to increase the input gain, still wasn't enough. I also tested the Line6 Sonic Port with different settings on the iphone, and that also gave good results re latency. I have also been using it mostly with Amplitube so far, which has a setting to switch from Low Latency, to Ultra Low Latency. I did have to restart the app the odd time if the latency was too much, then it seemed to correct itself. Anyway, I can seem to get a good low latency with the Amkit Link HD, where it didnt affect my playing, so I'm happy now! It appears that the latency is more affected by what apps you are using, and probably by the amount of processing the iphone is doing, (iphone4 in my case). Overall, good sounds! You can pick this unit up at zZounds, here.Well I'll answer my own question then, since I just bought the Ampkit Link HD and took a chance. Great for travel, bedroom jams, or heck, with the sound quality and the option to output to a mixer – you really don’t have any limits. Overall if you’re thinking of getting this – I can say you will not be disappointed. This app is really impressive – I mean if you think about it, the piece of hardware itself is pretty simple, its really the app that makes this thing rock. A few examples of the bundles you can purchase.Īnd of course the app comes with a pretty good tuner and metronome. You can use a preset or save your own creations. ![]() You can click any element to swap it out or change it’s settings. There are more settings if you scroll down. Here are some screen shots (they’ll pop open): You can purchase software bundles separately, or get the whole shebang for $20 from the iTunes store. The free version of the app is fully featured, but you are limited to one amp, two pedals and two microphones. Once you have a recording down, you can email it to yourself, or upload it to soundcloud, which is what I did. Some of the background tracks are just drums, some drums and bass, and others have drums, bass and electric guitar. You can record yourself solo, or with some of the background tracks included. The software is very good it ran super smooth for me, considering my phone – not a iPhone 4, or even a 3GS, but an iPhone 3G. The Peavey amps in AmpKit include the Peavey 3120, Peavey 6505 Plus, Peavey 6534. AmpKit’s in-app Gear Store offers the largest gear selection of any amps and effects app, including 19 amps with 35 separate amp channels, 22 effects pedals, 20 cabinets, 8 mics and more gear on the way. The setup is simple, as you can see in this image, it plugs into the iPhone’s headphone/mic jack, and you plug in your guitar and headphones, or line out to an amp or mixer. AmpKit LiNK HD is the perfect companion for the AmpKit app. This is going to save some strain on your iPhone’s battery, as well as help to reduce the feedback found in the unpowered units. The first thing you notice when you open the box, is that the unit is battery powered. ![]() Peavey’s little creation really does make a lot more sense than dragging a Pignose around on an airplane anyway – its small, and if you have an iPhone, you’re going to have it with you anyway. So here’s a review on this unit, complete with screenshots and sound bytes. The Peavey Ampkit audio interface for the iPhone is another homerun gift from my wife, who really gives the best gifts ever.Īfter getting me the Digitech pedal for Christmas, she noticed my interest in guitar travel guitars and amps, and came away with the idea to get me the Peavey Ampkit.
