It saves me time and energy by tracking pedal settings and chain orders, so I can focus on creating. Whether I’m designing a new tone or building a track, I can capture sounds instantly and pull them up later without digging through notes. ### 5/5 — Love the App *2023-03-01, version 1.10.50* This is a great app and highly recommended. I enjoy being able to add any pedal photo, and I am impressed that this app has a far more extensive library of manufacturers than the other popular pedalboard app. One feature I wish it had: sync the collection from my iPad to my iPhone. That would make it complete. But I am grateful it’s not a subscription, and I love the ease of use. ### 1/5 — Deja de funcionar *2022-06-20, version 1.10.47* Después de agregar varios pedales con fotografía empezó a tardar mucho en iniciar la app y a veces se cierra. ### 5/5 — Cataloging tones has never been easier. *2022-03-22, version 1.10.28* This app makes it so easy to catalog and reference different pedal / guitar / amp combinations with their settings, I’ll never lose that “perfect tone” ever again! ### 5/5 — If you love to make noise this is the app for you! *2022-03-01, version 1.10.28* Everyone has that sound… then one that takes them back to a special moment in time. With the Tonechasers app you now have access to a library of memories from around the globe! ### 5/5 — Awesome little app *2021-09-22, version 1.10.19* Really helpful little app especially if you have more pedals than you can keep track of…love the fact you can record settings too, super handy when practising new songs! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2021-03-28, version 1.0.12* I believe it was Neil Young who used to bolt a piece of sheet metal over the knobs of his amp when he went on tour to prevent roadies and sound guys from screwing up his sound. If he'd had Tone Chaser he wouldn't have had to. ### 5/5 — Really helpful app! *2021-03-26, version 1.0.12* This is one of those apps that falls in the, "sheesh, why doesn't this already exist??" Glad this is available now and look forward to additional functionality- already a helpful app and there is lots of additional potential! ### 5/5 — Awesome idea *2021-03-26, version 1.0* Came across this on one of the Facebook groups. Checked it out and it’s such a good idea! Can’t wait to start logging my gear and settings on it! ### 5/5 — Many uses *2021-03-25, version 1.0* Great to use for inventory instruments for insurance purposes too ## Frequently asked questions about Tonechaser ### What is Tonechaser?
