Leave a Review Tonebridge Guitar Effects
Good update but restrictive
I love the new workshop option, but I think it’s a crying shame that it’s being made just for already existing songs. You can’t just give us this creative power and say we’re only allowed to publish it for already existing songs. There should be an option to view community made pedals or something similar, to see what people can come up with.Show lessBiblo swaggins
How Dare You, Developers
Why on earth would you guys make a totally free app that aids me on my search to find the tones I’ve been looking for, for so long?! And on top of that, you allow me to not only suggest songs for presets, but make my own with a wide selection of amps, cabs, pedals, and microphones!
I’m a college student with homework, ya know!!
All joking aside, I just absolutely LOVE Tonebridge, and am legitimately trying hard to find anything wrong with it. I suppose that it’s on a device with a touch screen, which might make it harder to control in a live setting? But is that a dealbreaker? Definitely not! You better not be kidding when how you say it’s free, and are determined to keep it that way. I love GarageBand’s guitar features, yet I will admit that I consider this a step up in virtual tone modeling. As a guitar player who doesn’t own any effects pedals (sue me), this app is one of my favorite toys, and love thinking about how it could be used live.
Keep doing what you’re doing developers, and please remember all this support you have from the consumers!
I send you all virtual hugs.Show lessaarong914

Hi Aarong, thanks for kind words! There's really nothing wrong with the app, no catch—just get it and use for free :-) Feel free to contact us on Twitter or Instagram (@tonebridgeapp) if you have any ideas or suggestions about the app. Cheers!IAA and Audiobus a no go!
Great sounding App! Now, if it would just work with Any of my DAWS! I own 7 different ones and so far it won’t work with any of them. In Cubasis the Demo Samples actually Record but me Playing into it does not? I can see no-one addressing this matter or even concerned on the Internet. It sounds Great, but I want to Record with it. Please Fix, or tell what I’m doing wrong. Also does not work with Audiobus. It needs to be an Instrument, not an Effect, I think that might have something to do with it. It shows up but does not connect. I’ve been trying for days now.Show lessNeedEQforVideos
Major issues with Irig2 on iPhone
I downloaded this app. I played quite a number of presets and was astonished by the authenticity of the guitar tones of my favorite artists.
I own an Irig2. It works well with other apps such as Amplitude or GarageBand. However, this app has an issue I can’t figure out with Irig2. If I use the Amp output in Irig2 then the processed / effect sound of the guitar is not transmitted, rather only the dry signal. I have to use the headphone output of my Irig2 to get the wet signal and that sounded horrible unless I used the noise gate effect but by doing that my guitar tune lost all sensitivity and it is muzzled. I tired playing with volume and effect levels. No luck.
I wish the developers tested and worked out this “compatibility” issue with Irig2. It is a very common and versatile connector due to its compact size. I can’t afford to buy another connector due to cost and size of other makes/models. That would make this app a dream come true.Show lessFA1969

Hi Firas, sorry for the late answer. Your iRig 2 has a switch on it that controls the wet/dry signal that comes into your amp. It looks like the switch is turned to “dry”, thus not transmitting the “wet” sound with Tonebridge effect. Try to put the switch to the opposite position. If the problem stays, let us know at tonebridge@ultimate-guitar.com or on Twitter at @tonebridgeapp, we'll be happy to help you. Cheers! P. S. Will be very happy if you give us more stars in case our advice helps :-)Greatest APP to date!
This app is definitely my favorite app! Got me to pick up the Ax again, after 5 1/2 years! It’s all coming back now. All 43 years worth! That’s just how long I’ve been playing off & on! Great lessons & Teachers! Makes it a lot easier! I just wish that it was available back in 1975!Tommy tuna head
Best Guitar App Ever
This is one of the greatest apps I have ever come across. I have been trying to figure out how to get the tone from the Top Gun Anthem for the longest time, and the preset I found on here is absolutely killer. So many other awesome presets that are pretty spot on. Really excellent easy to use interface as well. Can’t say enough good things about this app. Must have for all guitarists, especially for those who can’t afford the crazy nice gear, this app will make you sound so much better.Show lessMav777627
Love this app. 10/10 but one suggestion
I would recommend every guitarist get this app it’s awesome. Nothing wrong with it but maybe try and add Bluetooth support from iPhone to iRig/similar device. Just a thought due to new iPhones lacking the standard AUX port bar having one of those AUX to Lightning adapters. Great app though like I said. Keep up the good workShow lessBluezoid
Winning App
This is hands down one of the best apps for guitarist, especially for beginners. There’s people out there who have taken the time to create the tones of some of your favorite artists to perfection. This helps tremendously when learning new styles and covers. Being able to play a song in its original tone has helped me learn songs without even looking for a tab. It makes that much of a difference.
I want to recommend to people who have had latency issues with Bluetooth on ios to invest in the camera connection kit and an audio interface. I use my audio interface with my ipad or iphone using this kit. Specifically a Scarlett 2i4 version 2. I have had zero issues connecting and have only had a few annoying app crashes which I’m sure will only get better with time. Using an interface allows me to play through my monitors and a next to nothing latency. The most frustrating thing in the world in music is latency and timing, this fixed that issue for me.
Also, the ability to use this app in garage band is incredibly useful. I use a clean amp setting in garage band and use Tonebridge to cover the rest. It sounds very impressive.
To call this app useful and fun would be an understatement.
AAA App for Guitarists, definitely a must have in your app collection. Very easy to use, I absolutely love it. 🙌Show lessWill be crazy

Thanks for kind words! 😇Out of the park on the last update! Tweakable amp, effect and mic settings!
This last update finally took the app to a different level with the ability to tweak amps, effects and mic settings. The tones sound spot on and now with a ton of songs to choose from, there is something for everybody. The Mesa Mklll is my favorite along with the auto wah. What a phenomenal way to practice and record now with IAA integration. My only suggestion is to give us the ability to mix and match amp, effects etc. Otherwise this is top notch!Show lessDark Horse (NB)
Very cool
Very useful and good sounding app. I like to discover in Tonewizard how the sounds are actually being made with Ampkit. I always liked that app and think it sounds great. Nice to see and hear how Tonebrdige uses the Ampkit engine.
I signed up for the Tabs app too since these guys are doing a great job. Only wish that when i click the guitar tabs button it would also open the selected song in Tabs. It just takes me to the home screen where i need to manually search for the tabs myself... not sure if this was intended this way or just a bug.Show lessTheRealDutchee
