Very cool
Been using this a while now and as cool as it is (and it is), the absence of any recording capability really makes it flawed - It's a glaring omission, and after downloading and using Ampkit+, I haven't used Amplitube since. For me Amplitube is now just a convenient practice tool, but Ampkit+ is all that and more, and enables me to record ideas quickly without having to wake the neighbours and fire up my DAW.
I hope that IK get their skates on and add recording to this as it'd make it much cooler and ultimately a far more useful tool - Can't help but wonder how they went through the whole development process and play tested this without at some point deciding that they didn't need any recording on it at all....

Awesome app
The extra screen realestate on the iPad really helps make this a more user friendly experience than the iPhone version. It's fun just to turn all the dials etc the big screen. Would be excellent is you could record and "reamp" songs like in ampkit, fingers crossed they implement that.
It's a little noisy connected through iRig, perhaps the powered Amplink device might get better result and could be worth a try. Overall though the sounds this app creates are fantastic.
I hope a future version when iPad hits IOS4 allows running in the background, which would allow you to use apps like TabToolkit. A highly recommended purchase from me, although I feel a bit sore that I purchased the iPhone version and then the iPad version was released a few days later and wasn't a universal app.

Great app but should be universal
This truly is a good app, the sound quality is great and the interface is brilliant. Recording would be nice as well as access to the iPod library to save having to upload songs separately.
This would be a 5 star review if it wasn't for what seems like blatant greed on the part of the developer. £30 for the interface then £12 for an app is surely enough without expecting us to pay another £12 for essentially the same app on the iPad. Seriously, is there any defendable reason why this couldn't be universal? I've just paid £1.79 for another guitar amp app and even that is universal!
Great app but sort it out please.

Amazing!
Wow! Amazing app, realistic sounding!!
I would rate it 5 stars if it had the ability to run in background while surfing the net on Safari or if it would be possible to run other apps such as the Tab Toolkit while playing.

Could benefit from a couple added features
1. Noise Gate. Like some other reviewers who, like me, have a need for some shred tones, cranking up the distortion to acceptable "metal" levels results in a horrible noise floor. On the desktop side, this is alleviated to acceptable levels by the use of a noise gate. Such an addition to the iPhone/iPad version may quell some of the negative reviews regarding distortion quality.
2. Better presets interface. As it is, the presets consist of 12 blocks of numbers in a popup. I've learned only recently that *swiping* the presets popup reveals two additional banks of preset locations, for a total of 36. First, make it more obvious that there are additional banks (arrows?). Better yet, consider revamping the presets feature by letting users name the presets, so they actually mean something. Further, to make the app more suitable for live use, add a presets "room" or "screen" in which there are *only* presets buttons, and stuff required for live use, such as a master volume control, tuner...and maybe a wah pedal area (for those who are actually able to use the tilt feature while playing). Mostly, I'd like to name the presets. ;)

Great sounds and Interface
I love this app. The iPad interface is sooooo much better than the iPhone one purely due to the increased screen real estate. Sounds are pretty impressive for something this portable though there is a bit of noise even with low gain setups (I'm connecting though the iRig interface). The noise stomp alters the sound too much for my liking though it definitely kills the noise.
Would love to be able to name my presets so I could keep track of them better but maybe this will come in future versions.
Otherwise great work. I spend more hours plugged into this than my real amp. Looking forward to new gear and updates.
