## What is 20th Anniversary?

Celebrating db audioware’s 20 years in the audio software business, 20th Anniversary is an original virtual guitar amp that oozes pick-up-and-play appeal. 

A true guitarist’s amp, 20th Anniversary excels at clean, blues and rock tones, with a full pedalboard of classic FX and an eye-catching intuitive interface. 

There are no complex menus or screens to navigate, no in-app purchases or advertising to distract you. Simply plug your guitar into your iPad or iPhone via any compatible audio interface, and start playing.  
 
20th Anniversary is the perfect silent practice amp - pop on a set of headphones, and the standalone app delivers the same kind of absorbing experience as a premium hardware amp in a natural sounding space. There’s a comprehensive set of starter presets (for both humbucker and single-coil pickups) and a built-in tuner to get you up and running quickly. 

For additional flexibility, the 20th Anniversary AUv3 plug-in works with apps like GarageBand, Cubasis or AUM.

The multi-stage preamp and vintage tone stack, and choice of stereo cabinets with multiple mic positions offers a massive range of amp tones. A comprehensive range of vintage style FX (drawn from db audioware’s extensive audio effects library) and a lush stereo plate reverb completes the sound.

Runs as a standalone app or AUv3 plug-in. Can be controlled from any iOS compatible MIDI device allowing remote control of presets or any amp parameter.

We recommend using 20th Anniversary with wired headphones. For an iPhone with no headset socket, we advise using an audio interface with dedicated headphone output (for example, an iRig HD 2).

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-02-07, version 1.0.8*

I didn’t want to pay $12 for this, but it’s worth it. I love it.

### 5/5 — The. BEST

*2026-01-19, version 1.0.8*

I’ve been using this all the time since its development. Everything is exactly what you need to get GREAT guitar sounds. Obviously created by a Guitar player with a great ear. World perfectly on iOS 26.2 no updates needed! Thank you Dave!!!

### 4/5 — Agréablement surpris Ok

*2026-01-15, version 1.0.8*

Verry Good

### 5/5 — The. BEST

*2025-11-17*

I’ve been using this all the time since its development. All it needs is a little update so we can switch cabinets again and it’ll be perfect again! Thank you Dave!!!

### 1/5 — 20 anniversary app crash!!

*2024-10-23, version 1.0.8*

I just bought this app and it keeps crashing. When it works it sounds nice, but if when you click the arrow on the cab sim it just crashes, and then you cannot press any settings. This is frustrating, I will contact apple for a refund.

### 5/5 — Give me a little bit of time

*2024-10-22*

I’ll definitely come back to write down what I truly feel about this app!

For now, the 5 stars are for the simplicity and elegance!

To infinity and beyond!

### 5/5 — Its my favourite for clean tones

*2024-10-15, version 1.0.8*

I really like this app just wish there was an update to fix the menu selection as on ios17 its a little buggy - however the sound is perfect and preset selection can done within your fav DAW if preset searching is supported.

### 5/5 — Been waiting for this since flying haggis crashed on iOS 11

*2024-05-28, version 1.0.8*

Great to see db audio ware back on I pad

### 5/5 — Totally worth it

*2023-12-27, version 1.0.8*

This is a great amp sim. First, the user interface is very clean, simple, and straight forward to use. You have everything you need very accessible from the preamp, pedals, tuner, and a preset library to make your own patches. 

This app sounds great as well. It really shines with the clear, clean tones to your overdriven or edge of breakup tones. This amp sim sounds warm, fun to play, and is easy to use. I would highly recommend picking it up.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2023-10-21, version 1.0.8*

When you come upon something that makes you want to create and play, you thank the obvious like-minded guitarists-creators for a superior product.   Long life and rock on…cheers.
