My new favorite plugin

This is the best sounding amp sim I’ve ever used. I’ve used many others that sound good, but Rhino and mammoth sound fantastic! It’s so responsive

Great App but

I think this is a great sounding app. I just recently purchased the app and I’m still learning its functionality. I gave it four stars, because it would be great for the app to have a stage preset selection for live playing, like most other amp sim apps. Also, it would be great if the developers add a setting where the app stays open and prevents the iPad screen from locking.

Essential iOS guitar multi amp

When you outgrow tonebridge, tonex, GigFast, and primo, get Rhino. There’s lots to learn here before moving onto a multifx app (I recommend yonac's) and the open world of auv3 and hosts (AUM/audiobus/sessions/loopy). Suggestions: ability to lock input and gate settings (or any section) when changing presets, and easier to tap on/off buttons. (I have to turn off the input each time I use a built in preset because the gate/input settings don’t fit my pickups.)

Still my go to Guitar Amp on iPad iPhone and iMac

Back when issues were happening with all DSP iOS apps, I had to find something bc Rhino wouldn’t load… I searched high and low, I downloaded almost every NEMBRIN metal amp, BIAS, and all the IRloaders and NONE matched the KILLER sound that I could get from Rhino!
I’m so glad that they got their issues resolved!

Response from developer

We sincerely apologize for the issue with AUv3. We highly value your work and thank you for using our tools. Aligning the Rhino iOS version with the desktop version was very labor-intensive, and we encountered some technical problems. Since yesterday, version 1.7.5 is available, which has fixed the AUv3 recognition error. Once again, we apologize. 🤘

Incredibly good value

This punches far above its weight. It reminds me a little of Polychrome DSP’s McRocklin suite which cost a darn site more than $6. I like the interface that allows you to expand all the relevant elements. Sounds great though the stock presets have needed a little tweaking for my tastes - which is easily done then saved in user presets. Reverbs and echos sound excellent and works seamlessly with loopy pro. Best value $6 I’ve ever spent.

Surprisingly Exceptional

This is imo, the fastest, easiest, most economical way to get a highly configurable high gain, high quality guitar sound. The richness of the distortion is thick and complex. A fantastic new design interface. Highly recommended!

It might be a bit tricky to get a chimey AC 30 sound that dirties up when you raise the volume on your guitar…but I’m working on it, lol.

Endlich

Endlich ein vernünftiges Audio Unit Plugin welches sich in die iOS Version von Logic fürs iPad integrieren lässt! Jetzt ist sogar das iPad für brauchbares Tracking verfügbar :)

Ich setze mich seit 2014 mit mobilem Recording auseinander (damals iPad 3 und 32pin line6 interface :D) und das ist das erste mal dass ich denke: „Damit könnte man auch so arbeiten, am Tablet direkt, nicht nur um eben ne Idee hinschlabbern.“

Amazing Bang For Buck

As as professional player for 25 years, checking out modelling since it was a thing I gotta say that this is an amazing bang for a buck. I was actually looking for something that would replace my gear on „cheap“ gigs. Honestly this one does not though (still looking), BUT especially the Metal Sounds are incredibly well done. The cleans..well they are always an issue if you are used to the premium league like axe fx and other high tiers.
At this pricepoint it‘s a steal and easily keeps up if not better with any of the other 10+ apps I‘ve tried so far.

Grande app , mas.....

Muito bom simulador ! Sons incríveis, porém, sem complementação para controle via MIDI ou Bluetooth, sendo broxante o uso !

Kobraa

Waiting for Kobraa on ios

Great app for guitarist

Spent hours on it. Great sound

Ok - working again for now

When this first came out, I thought it was unique and a steal for the price. A reimagining of the guitar “amp” app, without visual skeuomorphisms and taking things into new sonic territory (although it is still based on a conceptually skeuomorphic chain). Not simulating the old, more like a different and fresh take. Sadly, the app has been glitchy from the go, and unusable for well over a year (two?), despite a flood of complaints. After the last update, this is working ok again, but the concerns about support and developer engagement remain.

Previous review: ** Do not buy, this is now 100% DEAD ** – DO NOT BUY this is abandonware now. Used to sort of work ok under earlier versions of iPadOS although it was always glitchy. The developers only released it to get traction on the desktop and then left it to die. No updates in years, no responses. It no longer works - in standalone mode, it hangs on launch with a black screen; as a plugin it crashes either instantly or within seconds.

Response from developer

The new version 1.7.5 supports all DAW releases and adds several new features and IRs.

Awesome!!!!

OMG!!! Everything that I needed to do fire guitars on GarageBand.

That was a really good surprise!

Best apple amp sim

I have expensive ones and some more affordable this performs as good as any.

Great sounds but unstable.

I’ve tried all the guitar apps on the App Store but, out of the box, this gives me the exact sounds I’ve been looking for. However… it seems to crash regularly when switching through presets, on loopy pro and in AUM, and I presume others.

Developer, if you read this, I’d be happy to beta test for you and send you the crash reports if that would help development. I would love to see this stable as it could be used more confidently in live performances then.

Un bijou

Il manque juste une navigation plus facile avec le doigt. Les hitbox sont ridiculement petites. C’est une galère pour cliquer du premier coup sur une sélection.

Great ITB tone for endless possibilities

Like any rational guitar player, my GAS for amp sims will be never ending but this comes really close to making me rethink buying them now. I try out a lot of good ones but keep coming back to this, it really has all the tools I need to get some great tones and the IR implementation is probably my favorite on iOS. The EQ is very useful as well and the convolution reverb is great so I can throw some spring reverb at the end of the chain. Excellent work.

Still having issues after issue keeping Rhino on GB/Logic iphone13 IPad Pro (2024)

My favorite amp by far will no longer load on my iPad Pro ‘24 Running Latest update… Nor on iPhone 13 with latest update? I have tried every amp and they NONE compare… and all my guitars use it as an Auv3 … but WILL NOT load!!!! I’m not sure why they changed the icon, even though that doesn’t make any difference… but I thought the original icon was perfect!!! If this isn’t on them but something Apple did then; Why does apple keep forcing devs to change??? This sucks… need to work and have to look for another amp!!!

Amazing

I’ve tried almost every iOS amp app there is and this seems s hands down the best as far as tone and all of the options. Even the default rig is amazing. Thanks guys

O melhor disparado

O que esse simulador faz não é brincadeira. Comprei vários outros antes de chegar nesse… nível altamente profissional. Recomendo muito!!!!!
