![]() There wasn't much to tell between the devices to be honest. We started out by turning off the amps and recorded a simple Blues scale played on the guitar through each app. Unfortunately, their embedded player still does not work on the iPad, so you will need to follow the links we include here to the SoundCloud site itself, where you can play the tracks on your iPad/iPhone. We have not edited the sounds at all apart from trimming the empty space at the start/end of some tracks.Īll 12 sample tracks were then uploaded to SoundCloud. Where we could, we recorded samples of what we were hearing using the in-app recording function and sharing it out via iTunes file sharing. We tested them on various settings, Dry signal, Clean with a few touches of Reverb, Delay and Chorus, then on Crunch setups through to High Gain screaming distortion settings. All we did was swap out one device for the other and compare. As far as possible we kept the amp settings, guitar settings and iPad exactly the same. We tried both devices with identical settings through each app in turn. We played our Epiphone Les Paul twin humbucker guitar, through both the iRig and AmpKit LiNK, into the two apps that partner them, Amplitube 2 for iPad from IK Multimedia and AmpKit v1.1 from Agile Partners. ![]() We are obviously not audio specialists or expert musicians, but we wanted to test these devices in a reasonably authentic way as far as the average iPad owner might use them. We tried both interfaces on our iPhones but primarily we are reporting on the results from the iPad, especially now that Version 1.1 of the AmpKit app is iPad native. The main difference though is that, unlike the iRig, Peavey's AmpKit LiNK is powered, by 2 x AAA batteries, with what Peavey claim is " circuitry that virtually eliminates feedback". The interfaces both have a headphone socket to monitor the processed signal back out of the Apps. This signal is input via the headphone socket (not the Dock connector) because of the Microphone input present there. The iRig and AmpKit LiNK both have the same purpose, to get a line level audio signal from an instrument or microphone into your iOS device. So, which one is better? Read on to see what we found. We are fortunate enough to have got hold of both of them and we have been using them for a while now, testing them head to head. The Peavey amps in AmpKit include the Peavey 3120™, Peavey 6505® Plus, Peavey 6534™ Plus, the Peavey Classic® 30 and Peavey ValveKing®.įind out more about the AmpKit LiNK HD at it comes to getting a guitar (or other instrument) input into your iPad there are arguably two major players, iRig by IK Multimedia and AmpKit LiNK by Peavey. 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. Players even have control of the guitar input level and headphone output level right at their fingertips using the control knobs located directly on the interface, so there's no need to launch another app.ĪmpKit LiNK HD is the perfect companion for the AmpKit app. On-the-go jamming is easier than ever with add-on accessories such as a belt and strap clip, which makes the device mountable. The AmpKit LiNK HD features a high quality construction Peavey is known for, with sturdy jacks and cable connectors and a rubberised non-slip coating that's easy to handle. This means that guitar players no longer need to carry a separate interface for their mobile iOS and computer. ![]() Using the included USB cable, the AmpKit LiNK HD becomes a high-quality guitar interface for Mac® and PC. When connected to the optional AC adapter, AmpKit LiNK HD will even charge an iPad®, iPhone®, or iPod® touch while in use. It's simple to connect a guitar or bass directly into the dock of an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, and with AmpKit LiNK HD's snug-fitting cable, the instrument will stay secure while maintaining a strong audio signal. Together, AmpKit LiNK HD and AmpKit provide guitar and bass players with a powerful, convenient way to jam wherever they go. The LiNK HD maintains high fidelity even with the authentic high-gain amp models in AmpKit, the award-winning amp modeling app. The AmpKit LiNK HD enables players to send a signal to a headphone output and a line output, making guitar amplification and gigging with an iOS device easier and more convenient than ever.
