Great IR loader.

This is an awesome guitar cab. IR loader, love the eq section. You can import .wav files from AudioShare, so you can also use it as a convolution reverb. Wish it was AUv3 but works fine as IAA.

Absolutely amazing for solid body 5 string violin.

I really loved the feel of my solid body electric violin with a BTS bridge transducer. However I soon realized that I was never going to get a rich violin tone without a sound box. I tried tons of stuff on and off for 25 years. Short delay, reverb, eq, tube pre amps, acoustic resonator effects...
I am using an Apogee Jam lightening port adapter. I started this app and chose a violin impulse file and as soon as I even tapped the end of my patch cable, I could hear the the violin body acoustics, like when you tap the body of an acoustic violin. It sounds amazing with just the convolution without even messing with the other features. AUE played nice with Garage Band. No updates for a while. I hope the dev is still maintaining this. Some Cello impulses would be great too.

Add to your guitar rig = ace!!

Love it. Just one thing that would make it perfect.

I am using Fiddlicator to run my own acoustic guitar IRs. It is one of the few ios apps which will let me do this and it does it very well.
The one complaint which I have is that there doesn't seem to be any way to delete IR wav files. Not even ones which you have added yourself. Once it's on the list it stays there.

FAQ

What is Fiddlicator used for?

Fiddlicator is an audio tool that simulates acoustic environments by convolving input signals with custom impulse responses. It's primarily developed for simulating acoustic body resonance for electric musical instruments.

Can I use my own impulse response files with Fiddlicator?

Yes, you can import your own custom IR kernel files. These files can be imported via iTunes share or the 'Open in' option from another application, supporting standard sound files like WAV or CSV.
