User reviews

This app has everything you want!

Out of all the guitar apps I have tried, this is the most comprehensive, and by a good margin! NAM stuff aside, this app offers so much flexibility:

- Banks that hold presets that hold scenes
- Macros that can control multiple parameters at once
- The pitch effects are solid (like pitch wham)
- Dual routing
- Creating custom screen layouts for live performance
- You can MIDI learn pretty much everything from specific presets, scenes, effect bypasses, parameters, tuner, tap tempo, and macros
- You can control all that I mentioned through the AUV3 version from a host (Loopy Pro for me)
- This app is cross-platform! The same preset I used on my iPad can be exported and imported onto my Windows (or Mac) computer, in case I want to do some recording.
- You can export your presets to keep backups

There are more features that I haven't explored yet, but what I listed made this app the winner for me! Also, the developer is really active with updates and recieving feedback.

The best

By far the best iOS app for running a rig of NAM’s. I run my guitar through a Shure MVX2U and directly into my iPad from there. I love that you can easily spin off different wiring schematics and run a large amount of NAM’s and IR’s in sequence. I have no loyalty to any one app, but this is far and above all of the others I’ve tried.

Amazing

I’ve been playing for more than 30 years and used many of the big brand modelers and capture players. I currently have a Quad Cortex and enjoy this app even more than the QC for playing around the house. Incredible sound quality and feel. The pace of updates is amazing and it seems like new features are always in the works. I did have a bit of a learning curve when I started with it, and my only recommendation is that the developer put out some tutorials or walkthrough videos. Anyhow, this is an amazing app. Get it and you won’t regret it.

It's very good.

Since we are going to perform live for the first time in several years, I wanted to make my equipment as compact as possible and improve the quality.

Then I suddenly checked if NAM could be used in the iPhone app and found this.

Not only the sound, but also other effects are fine. If you buy a bad multi-effects, this and MIDI switcher will be enough!

5 Stars for the concept - 6 for Luke

After installing, there were some hickups, but: Luke sorted them out within about hours - and now NAM live is pure joy. I'm really impressed!
