AmpliTube Acoustic CS is a complete mobile tone studio for acoustic instruments. Powered by AmpliTube , it lets you practice, play and record with a collection of acoustic-centric virtual gear that offers world-class tone and sonic sculpting flexibility anytime and everywhere. Build your own custom rig with up to 6 stompbox FX and an amp. You can even drag and drop your stomps to sit before or after your amplifier (4 slots pre and 2 slots post). Designed for use with IK's iRig Acoustic mobile acoustic instrument interface, it provides plug-and-play sound thanks to a built-in calibration system that sculpts iRig Acoustic's EQ response to suit your particular guitar. With the two combined, you can get studio-grade condenser microphone sound from an interface that slips easily into your pocket. AmpliTube Acoustic CS lets you play with amps and gear that are all tailored for acoustic instruments. You get 1 amp: "Solid State 1" plus a special stomp box “Feed Kill” that eliminates feedback with just a tap. You can also expand your collection via in-app purchase: Turn your acoustic into a jangling 12 string with the "12 String" simulator, add some low-end with the "Bass Maker" or even change your guitar's body with the "Body Modeler." Both Solid State 2 and Tube amps and two EQ stomps are available as well. You'll be floored by the sound quality. AmpliTube Acoustic uses the same tone technology as the acclaimed AmpliTube 4 Custom Shop for Mac/PC. You'll hear the difference and understand why AmpliTube is an essential for so many professional musicians and recording studios. Like to loop? You can get creative with the new Super Looper. It makes it easy to record, play back, adjust levels and play along with up to 4 loops. (Looper feature is available for in-app purchase.) Need a drummer? Use the included Loop Drummer to jam to killer drum tracks. Make your own patterns or let it create some inspiring drums for you. Get more loops via in-app Style Packs. Use the new 2-track recorder to record over backing tracks, or expand the studio section (available via in-app purchase) to record, edit and share your compositions via SoundCloud, FTP, file sharing or email. Ready to perform? Live Mode offers an optimized GUI specifically for live use. See your entire chain at a glance, with all the settings and controls you need in an easy-to-read format designed for the stage. Control your virtual rig just as easily as you would a traditional pedalboard with new iRig Stomp I/O integration, so you can change presets, control effects and more right from your feet. Or go wireless with iRig Blueboard, a Bluetooth controller for basic control on the go. Now you can get a taste of the first complete mobile tone studio for acoustic instruments!

Sadly, the developers will not put in the time and effort to make it AU3. So until they do it will always be second fiddle to MixBox from IK Multimedia. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-06-10* Sounds really good! I really like AmpliTube stuff. My acoustic sounds great with this. I have real pedals and even a Helix, and this sounds clear and full. Easy to use as well. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with my irig acoustic stage *2023-01-10, version 1.0.5* App doesn’t hear the irig acoustic stage. GarageBand does just fine. ### 5/5 — Best Acoustic Live Sound EVER! *2022-10-23* Firstly, I have the iRig acoustic clip on with AmpliTube running on an old iPhone SE I used this setup a couple of times at open mics and the PLUS points are… It is better than a piezo pickup by a country mile. You can get your sound and reverb etc so the sound engineer doesn’t have to do much apart from work on your vocal. The MINUS points, such as they are… The clip on can get knocked. The setup is a bit fiddly and awkward so you can feel like you’re wearing “a wire” Sounds can’t easily be changed on the fly, like with foot pedals so if you wanted say chorus on a song you would need to get the phone out of your pocket. DONT put it elsewhere as the cable of the pickup is so thin it won’t take much rough handling. I use an iPhone SE because it’s tiny and can be tucked away. People will come up afterwards and go on about how good your guitar sound is and not talk about anything like how your technique and playing is or the rest of your act that you’ve spent ages getting together. So if you want to save yourself the bother of messing about with it just use your crumby piezo pickup like every other bozo. PS it’s good for recording too. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-07-28, version 1.0.5* I specifically downloaded this app to try the 12 string simulator. Turns out I have to buy it before I can try it. Well what if I hate it after I buy it? Will I get a refund? Of course I won’t. ### 1/5 — There’s a difference between CHEAP and Inexpensive… *2022-02-06* This software and hardware combo is cheap yet way overpriced trash. The iRig Acoustic cord is paper thin and nearly as durable, then for the $70 CAD price tag, misleads you to think youre getting access to the entire IRIg Accoustic Suite… NOPE! And CS is as bare Bones as it gets so you can’t claim false advertising. Asking another priemium to upgrade to the full software that will run the remarkably fragile hardware. Crap device, worse business model. You know how many garbage bags you can buy for near $100?! At least $100 worth of trash bags would work as intended and not let you down. Outraged and getting my money back, too bad you can’t give us back our wasted time. ### 1/5 — Won’t open on iPad *2021-10-29* Keeps crashing waste off time don’t download ### 1/5 — No support *2021-10-27, version 1.0.4* Just like everyone else, app won’t load after update and support is non responsive to this issue. How do we get refunds ### 3/5 — Same problem. Won’t open *2021-10-21, version 1.0.4* This will not open in anew iPad with iOS 15. Can’t find any help. Mcprange ### 1/5 — App doesn't work on iOS 15 *2021-10-20, version 1.0.4* Super glad I just spent over $100 on a mobile acoustic set up for my sister's wedding only to be thwarted by an app that HASN'T BEEN UPDATED IN 3 YEARS. You guys are a complete joke, this app should be taken off the app store and the iRig should be pulled from every music store. Selling broken products. Completely unacceptable.
