  • WOW!! Wonderful app.

    Tried a lot of these apps lately. This is by far the best one yet. The sounds are phenomenal as is, but the fact you can edit the sounds to your personal taste makes this great app even greater. Can’t believe this app is free as it sounds so much better than a lot of the paid ones. Again, wow!! Thanks to the developers for making this. You rock. And now, thanks to this app, so do I.

  • Cool app, garbage presets, bad purchase

    Unless you want to waste all your practice time mucking through song after song that has 2 chords and sounds nothing like what you want to play. Stay way away.

    Select a Neil Young Song, you get the Beatles. Select 10 other songs and they are the same 3 chords with the same setting.

    Yes, the top 20 guitar songs are fairly good, some great. But 90% of the sample amp patches are garbage chords with nothing even remotely close to original sound.

    Unless you just want to create your own, which it does well, or want a very limited number of accurate patches, pass this by.

    Developers- go through the stacks of uploaded garbage and delete the crap. Check an upload before posting, or add a report garbage option that is actually monitored, and I’ll gladly give this app the 5 stars it probably deserves. But right now it’s just a frustrating time drain. You can only play Smoke on the Water or Sweet Child of Mine so many times. Total crapshoot beyond that. Even trying to listen to the original song data base is messed up. Neil Young gave me CCR. Clapton gave me Metallica. Lot of holes to ‘patch’. You got my money on a promise that wasn’t real. I’ll reload it whenever I see an update, but as of now, I’ll make space for BiasFX for a test.

    Hi, we'll look into the issue, but before that we would like to understand what money did you pay since our app is 100% free? As for the presets, we didn't record an original demo for every preset (only 11,000 of over 17,000 presets have an original demo), so there may be presets that have the same riff as a demo. The sound itself should be original though, so if you try to play the original riff through the sound, it should be fine.
  • On the verge of greatness!

    This is an awesome app but I find it silly you can’t use your own pedals in a pedal board without publishing them. Not only that but I want to be able to stack pedals so I can have a tone but then add reverb or distortion to the same tone without changing it. It seems like it should be possible. So to summarize I would give 5 stars if these were included.
    -Adding custom pedals to your pedal board
    -Stacking Pedals or being able to activate the base pedals also.

  • Odd misfires

    I couldn’t find a way to ask a question of the developer, so it goes in my review. Generally, I’ve liked this app; getting at least a reasonable approximation of the tone for a song with a single selection saves lots of fiddling with pedal and amp settings for actual practice time.
    BUT, I’ve had a couple of instances where I want to play along with the song, which I have in my iTunes library, and the app says it’s not there.
    Also, lately the guitar sounds much sharper and harsher through the app than it used to; maybe my imagination, but thought I’d mention it. At the start, there were times where I might have considered using Tonebridge to play “for real”, but lately the output hasn’t sounded as full as it used to. At least, to me.

  • Incredible! A++

    The days of spending countless hours trying to recreate your favorite guitar players tones are over! Pick your favorite artist(s) or favorite song(s), plug in your axe and turn on the pedal! •SIMPLICITY• You can adjust the settings on the boxes too if you want, but 99% of the time, it is the exact tone from the original song. I’ve been dying for something like this! It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an expert guitar player, this is a MUST HAVE application! 🎸 Keep Rockin’

    Thanks, M@llen!
  • Please fix it with an update.

    First, I’ve been using this app for a long time now and i can say that is one of the greatest app that’s free on this category. I really enjoy using my guitar with this app and my Irig2 so I can fully concentrate on what I’m playing, but lately I’ve been having issues with the app. After the latest update was released, the app started crashing every time I tried to open it, yet before I updated the app it was working completely fine. I just want to ask the developers if they could release a new update soon to fix this problem, i really like this app, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to use it for than a month now because of the app crashes. I hope they do something about it soon because this app is great, will rate higher when a solution happens.

    Hi Jose, very sorry that you experience the crash. Did you try to delete the app and install it again? We’ll try to fix it for you, but can’t really tell when because we don’t know why the crash happens.
  • Amazing!! How is this fee?

    The authenticity of these tones are amazing. The first time I tried it I ended up playing around with it for around three hours. The endless library of tones is astonishing and most of them are dead on the original tone. I’ve tried to reproduce many of these tones with multi effects pedal setting but couldn’t get anywhere near as accurate as this app. The only thing I can’t figure out is how they can make it free. Unless maybe they’re using this app to re-promote these classic songs, because it does just that.

  • Accessibility.

    When I was a lad I had a Rhodes V guitar and two brutal pedals. I tried to jam to the sounds of my idols like Laiho and Eschbach. It took every penny I had in high school to do so. Some of us have been through this. Now, with this app the chances of supporting some musically inclined kid is that much easier. We live in a world where many things are so accessible. But where music prevails, I am at a loss. I hope this app can inspire a becoming artist that plays an INSTRUMENT. Like when music was good. Thanks guys. Not sure what your philosophy is but this would be mine.

    Thanks for kind words! Our main goal is to give more people access to good guitar sound, without having to obtain special knowledge. Knowing how these things work is very good for one's mind, but for a beginner it feels like hard labor—many people quit the thing when they feel it's too hard to join the team. We hope our app changes that.
  • Just incredible!!! So powerful!

    I have been using this for over two years! I can honestly say this is my favorite app!
    If there was only one way to improve this out further it would be to have the option to create my own presets and put them on the app for everybody else to enjoy! It’s still missing some key classic rock songs that I really would love to have. Not nearly enough Aerosmith Styx or Boston.

  • It just gets better and better

    This may be literally the only app on my phone (aside from default apps and Instagram) which has no in-app purchases. You get everything you see advertised for it, and it's so much fun to be able to create your own pedal boards and even make your own pedals. It's buggy sometimes, tbh, but who cares.
