## What is AmpStamp?

AmpStamp is a best-in-class audio processing tool for Mac, iPad & iPhone, built on true component models of vintage amplifiers and effects, with a deep library of speaker cabinets and reverbs. These are real circuit models, not captured snapshots frozen at a single setting—turn any knob and the whole amp responds the way the original hardware would. Our goal is to recreate guitar tones heard on classic albums—dial them in exactly, then push past what the hardware allowed or what was even possible at the time of recording.

Create tones ranging from classic rock and blues all the way to alternative and heavy metal, with enough gain to spare. When you’ve dialed in the perfect sound, save it as a preset in the virtual Floor Controller for instant recall. And set up your favorite MIDI controller for hands-free operation whether live, in the studio, or just jamming with friends.

When you need more options or want to expand your creativity, head to the Gear Shop. You can buy amplifiers, cabinets, and pedals individually or subscribe for an inexpensive all-access pass that includes all future updates and products. Get fuzzed out and sound like a classic rock hero or an early punk rocker, use flange to unleash the eighties, and everything can always use more wah. Stay tuned for new products and updates.

### 5/5 — Lil Woodryc

*2026-07-09, version 1.10.6*

Please have the actual effects on 

AmpStamp be their own 

individual AUV3 plug-ins within 

the app that would be a cool idea

### 4/5 — Updated review

*2026-04-03*

Sorry, this now has plugin support and I never updated my review.

### 1/5 — no input

*2024-08-10, version 1.9.1*

I cant get any inpu from my PreSounus Audio box

### 1/5 — sound clipping issues

*2021-06-11, version 1.7.1*

i downloaded this app hoping for some amazing tones, but as soon as i opened it, the sound cut in and out rapidly and i could not fix it. not sure if it was just my device, but if not, i hope it gets fixed because i had such high hopes for this app

### 1/5 — Too little, too much

*2021-03-13, version 1.7*

So there appears to be just three components available without either buying others outright or an almost £50 subscription. The design is small and fiddly, even with the modules made larger they are difficult to see properly. IK showed the way with MixBox, and this is sadly no rival. Deleted.

### 3/5 — Why make it simple if you can complicate it...

*2021-01-11, version 1.6.1*

Guys.... In all honesty, who designed your pricing program. It's soooo complicated to understand. You can buy individual pieces, but then you have monthly subscriptions.... to I don't now exactly what, but, wait, there is also annual subscriptions...... oh, sorry , but you can also try it out, and then you get a better pricing...?? Man , can't you just make it foolproof, like so many of your competitors. Pay a price and buy it all , for once and for good....who wants to be charged every month for the next ten or twenty years for an amplifier....pleeeeease! Keep it simple

### 5/5 — Please release an AU Plugin and Standalone OSX Version

*2020-05-26, version 1.6*

Love this guitar amp package.  Has all the vintage stomp boxes like the original Electrix Mistress, Maestro Phaser, Echoplex, great Marshall, Vox, and Tween sims. Please make an OSX AU version.

### 5/5 — WELCOME TO THE TONE ZONE

*2020-05-24, version 1.6*

Is that the “Brown Sound” I hear???

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-12-18*

This is probably one of the best guitar amp app it sounds great and is very responsive.

### 2/5 — Missing key feature

*2016-04-19*

I don't know if you developers have heard of it but since 2014 music apps have had IAA and/or Audiobus support so musicians can actually record app output without the headphone jack.
Add this in and you will be supported and welcomed into the iOS music community.
