## What is AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™?

Want to rock Hendrix’s rig? Now you can with the new AmpliTube® Jimi Hendrix™ app. Play through a rock icon’s pedals and amplifiers, all from the convenience of your iPhone. 

AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ lets you build a flexible rig complete with 6 stompbox effects (4 pre amp, 2 post) and an amplifier head with cabinet, plus a two-track recorder (expandable to 8 tracks via in-app purchase) for capturing your musical ideas quickly and easily, and lets you share across different versions and devices.

AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ features models of all the legendary signature gear used by Hendrix in the studio and for his live performances. Now you can rock his amplifiers like the JH GOLD based on the Marshall® JTM45™ and the JH DUAL based on the Fender® Dual Showman™. 

You can also rock the guitar pedals that let Hendrix make his sonic breakthroughs, as he experimented with the full expressive possibilities of electronic effects while creating his pioneering guitar tones. 

Thanks to AmpliTube's Cab Room, you’ll feel like you are in your own professional recording studio. Mic your cabinets in full 3D in a beautifully rendered virtual studio environment with 2 iconic guitar mics (expandable to 16 mic models available via in-app purchase).

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2015-11-28, version 1.6.2*

Ok so I got this on sale and thought I'd give it a try. The models are really awful. The presets are plenty but none of them sound remotely close to what they are supposed to. Keep in mind I wasn't expecting to sound perfect but it's not even close. There are a couple of useable tones here but not worth the money. Don't waste your time and developers should be ashamed to charge the full price of this pile of crap.

### 5/5 — Spot on tweaking

*2014-06-11, version 1.5.1*

This app gives a lot of great authentic sounds that allows for many 'a good' Jimi sessions! I think it sounds great all the way through!~

### 4/5 — FuLLY aCTuaLiZeD

*2014-03-01, version 1.5.1*

I have bought the Jimi pack, the Soldano, Fender amps, most of the stomps, and I am overall extremely pleased with the quality and coolness after using these gizmologies on both me iPhone and me iPad. 
Although I do not own a Soldano I do own a 100watt Plexi clone and the Roger Mayer versions of the Hendrix stomps, mic up using an AKG 414 thru a Neve mic pre. 
I have been playing and recording for 30 years + and although there is a difference of quality there is no denying the value and simplicity of this stuff.
I recommend these things to anybody with $15-$20 to spend on their rig. 
Doubt you'll regret it. 
Cheers!

Note to the developers: it would be nice if we didn't have to buy things twice when it comes to the iPhone and iPad purchases, that's kinda undude.

### 4/5 — Unbelievable!

*2014-01-07, version 1.5.1*

Are you kidding me? I can have the Hendrix sound on my guitar blaring through my headphones for less than a new pair of sweatpants? Kaching!!! You can't take my money fast enough. The presets and depth are amazing. A must have for any guitar player that wants to feel like Hendrix if even for just a moment.

### 4/5 — Terrific sounds

*2013-12-28*

I’ve been using this app on and off for some time. Lots of fun.

### 5/5 — The best Amplitude ever!

*2013-08-04*

This is just so cool, it's the best Amplitude ever!

### 2/5 — Not a good choice

*2013-07-29, version 1.0*

I regret spending 15 bucks on this app. You're better of buying ampkit+ for 19 bucks which has a way more superior sound quality and a wide range of effects to choose from.

### 1/5 — Not Happy

*2013-05-02*

Virtually sounds the same as amplitude le. Regret buying it. Tinny sound. Multitrack can only have the amps on one sound weird

### 5/5 — Hendrix es la Luz

*2013-04-11, version 1.0*

Esta app de iOS de Amplitube, contiene gran material para todo fanático y músico seguidor de Jimi Hendrix, recomendada.

### 3/5 — No Wah? Really?

*2013-03-22, version 1.0*

How can it be a Hendrix setup without a wah included?  I'm certainly not interested in paying more to get the capability implied by the app name.
