## What is ToneRig?

ToneRig turns your iPhone or iPad into a responsive amp, cab, and pedalboard rig for guitar and bass. Connect a USB audio interface, load a tone, and play—no laptop required.

Built for playing, not just previewing. ToneRig runs at your audio interface’s hardware sample rate with a small buffer, keeping your sound tight and responsive.

• Support for your own Neural Amp Modeler (.nam) captures and WAV impulse responses from Files  
• A flexible, reorderable signal chain  
• Built-in tuner, input and output meters, and a real-time latency estimate  
• Digital metronome with tap tempo, adjustable time signature, accented downbeats, and tempo-synced effects  

TONERIG PRO — ONE-TIME UNLOCK

• Save and organize presets across multiple banks  
• Build parallel signal chains with Y split, A/B balance, and crossover routing

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-08-10*

It saved me thousands of dollars..effects sounds pretty awesome 10/10…can’t wait to see the next update i really hope to see auto record and countdown for  the looper

### 2/5 — Just hangs on my M4 IPad Pro

*2026-08-10*

I’d love to try this but when I launch it, it does nothing. It just sits there mocking me.

### 5/5 — Great a

*2026-08-09*

Loving the app so far but could use some more features to really get more out of it. Would love some more effects based pedals to add down the line or dedicated overdrive pedals so we don’t have to take up a NAM slot. Having more noise gate features (release, threshold, and sensitivity knobs), ability to choose where you want them, and have multiple noise gates would help when trying to use heavy gain amps. Not having those features with the noise gate feels really limiting at times if you have specific tones or bands you are trying to sound like. I would totally recommend this app though and the upgraded version is well worth it in my opinion. Hopefully the app continues to be supported and updated.

### 5/5 — Amazing Software

*2026-08-08*

This is the first time I ever feel the need to write a review in the Appstore. Your Software works amazingly well and sounds fantastic. Loaded the first Marshall preset I found in this app and gave it some FX-Love. It already sounds way better than my IR-X-Rig with Boss Waza and UA-Effects. Thank you so much. Now I just need to get around the thought of using my MacBook Air on stage.^^

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2026-08-07*

Bons timbres e liberdade para utilizar capturas e plugins AUV3. Vale cada centavo. Parabéns ao desenvolvedor. Cheguei aqui pelo canal do Jack, muito obrigado.

### 5/5 — Best thing for iOS

*2026-08-07*

I bought ToneRig Pro and couldn’t be happier. The tones and effects are amazing the whole thing is freaking awesome! One thing though I tried to add my Eventide micropitch app to the signal chain and the volume of the whole preset dropped and I couldn’t really hear the micropitch any help with this I would appreciate and I still can’t figure out how to get into GarageBand?

### 5/5 — Finally

*2026-08-07*

I have been searching and experimenting other platform for so long that at one point I had given up, most of them are trying to do so many things. But this one! Is FOR GUITAR! I can finally mix and  match Auv3 and load nam with scene switching features..

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-06*

Thank you for adding looper. I had fun. I hope you add flanger, phaser and distortion and drive pedals soon..thank you we love it dude

### 5/5 — Better than Genome 2

*2026-08-05*

I’ve evaluated both for a couple weeks. ToneRig is my choice over Genome 2 Suite! Genome is very good but it’s a closed ecosystem. ToneRig is very well thought out, flexible and extensible. Awesome!

### 3/5 — not working on ipad pro 3rd gen after update

*2026-08-04*

VERY Cool app. The new looper function controllable via MIDI is killer. However, after the update the app doesn’t work anymore! It opens but then remains frozen. No button whatsoever is clickable. On iPhone it works. Not so on iPad. Please help!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.7 — 2026-08-11

New TONE3000 browser with Audition, built into ToneRig

Browsing captures no longer means a web view. The new native catalog covers Latest, Trending, Favorites and My Tones, with search and filters. Audition any capture or cabinet IR straight through your current rig before you import it: close the preview and the block you were on comes right back. Import a single model or a full capture pack.

NAM input calibration and output modes

Set the analog level your interface treats as 0 dBFS once, and any capture carrying its own input reference is matched to it, showing both the reference and the trim being applied. Output offers Raw, Normalized and Calibrated. The capture itself is never altered, only the signal around it.

Two new modulation pedals

VANE Phaser: 4, 6, 8 and 12 stage modes with Rate, Depth, Center, Feedback, Mix and stereo Width.
RAIL Flanger: an interactive delay rail with Rate, Regeneration, Mix and stereo Width.
Both ship with factory and user presets, MIDI Learn, live visualisations, and identical standalone and AUv3 versions.

Hosted plug-ins now open in a floating, draggable, resizable window over your board, with the plug-in's bypass switch in its title bar. Tapping a plug-in opens its interface immediately: the extra "Open Plug-in" step is gone on iPhone and iPad too.

MIDI

A new ToneRig MIDI identity lets hosts such as Loopy Pro route MIDI to a loaded instance, and a stable ToneRig MIDI Input destination accepts Note, CC and Program Change directly. Every general MIDI action is now an AUv3 parameter, so hosts can automate presets, banks, Snaps, bypass, tap tempo, metronome and looper even with the editor closed. New exact-value actions for Tuner On/Off and Metronome Start/Stop, plus MIDI Learn for metronome volume.

An optional tip jar
Under Settings > Support. Tips unlock nothing and every feature behaves identically whether or not you leave one.

Also in this release

- Capture names now read as gear type, tone, model and creator, and TONE3000 IRs carry the same artwork and attribution as captures.
- Signing out of TONE3000 now clears the site session too.
- The tuner picks up quiet instruments more reliably, and the AUv3 tuner matches the standalone one.
- General bug fixes and housekeeping

### 1.3.6 — 2026-08-01

What’s New in ToneRig 1.3.6

• Added a 60-second stereo Looper with overdub, undo, reverse, Play Once, loop level, and MIDI footswitch control
• Added the ALON Bass Synth with four voices, a resonant triggered filter, ten factory presets, and full MIDI control
• Added all eight per-preset Snaps to the AUv3 plug-in, including recall, rename, copy, paste, MIDI control, and host-session persistence. The snaps can also be triggered from host apps.
• Added savable presets for NAM Capture and Cab IR blocks
• Upgraded Auto Swell for smoother violin-style blooms and redesigned Chorus as the animated Drift pedal
• Knob values can now be entered precisely with the keyboard
• Added larger pedal controls on iPad and Mac
• Improved AUv3 reliability, preset synchronization, compact-host layouts, and audio-interface recovery
• Fixed false Save prompts and interruptions while adjusting NAM controls

Thanks for playing!

### 1.3.5 — 2026-07-25

What's new in 1.3.5
• Global EQ
A parametric EQ on your final output that shapes every preset at once. Tune it to the room you're playing, and it stays put as you switch patches — it's never saved into a preset. Save curves to the same library as the EQ pedal, so a curve you build in one is available in the other. Works in the app and the AUv3 plug-in.

• Global Output trim
One rig-wide level control that rides on top of every preset. Set your volume for the room without editing a single patch. Now in the plug-in too, where it stays clear of your host's automation.

• Levels saved per preset
Input and output levels now travel with each preset and Snap, so returning to a patch restores its own levels instead of carrying over the last one's.

Also in this version
• The EQ band selector now scrolls, so all eight bands are reachable on any screen size.
• Removed a duplicate close button from the Input and Output panels.

### 1.3.4 — 2026-07-24

New in 1.3.4

• Volume block - drop a dedicated level control anywhere in your chain, with Linear or Logarithmic response and unity gain (0 dB) at 100%.

• Copy & paste effects - duplicate a dialed-in block into an empty slot, or paste it over another block to swap without rearranging your chain.

• Live mode now asks before you leave unsaved preset edits, and no longer prompts when you've only recalled a Snap.

• General housekeeping and bug fixes.

### 1.3.3 — 2026-07-22

What’s New in ToneRig 1.3.3
• MIDI Learn now warns when a control is already assigned, letting you keep both assignments, replace the existing one, or cancel.
• Added Close buttons to Input, Output, Split, and Merge controls.
• Fixed effect selection and Add Pedal flows when another controls panel is open.
• Improved control-panel sizing when running the iPad app on Mac.
• Fixed MIDI assignment alerts appearing on unrelated screens.
• MIDI Learn Snaps from the snaps screen.
