### 5/5 — Sick app!

*2025-05-05*

From all the modulators in the App Store, this one is my favorite

### 3/5 — Great tone, misleading description

*2024-12-11*

A fun and easy to use amp sim that delivers crushing tones for your down tuned 7 and 8 string guitars.

I would give 5 stars, but so far I’ve found the description of the amp to be misleading. It says you can upload your own IRs but so far haven’t found a way to do that. I tried reaching out to Aurora DSP but haven’t heard back. If you guys fix this, I’ll gladly give 5 stars.
