The lock button on the Pads page locks FX units but not the Pads. And touh the next Pad for more than about 500mSecs and it overwrites with the previous used presets wrecking your Set layout. Without being Lockable this is too too quick. Makes this great Pad page just too risky to use. Some button changes in Tonestack rely on 1.5secs press before overwriting, Pads should be same and lockable. Please in your next update. ### 2/5 — Feedback *2024-08-30, version 3.3* I can hear feedback and there’s no sound from my guitar, what to do? ### 3/5 — ios 17.4.1 *2024-03-27* Sound is not coming out properly on iOS 17.4.1 ### 5/5 — Flexible, powerful... *2023-03-24* *Edit: 2023* Dude, you are killing me with these “new version upgrades”. I spent a ton of money on this app, (much more than I normally would). And now I discover that to stay current, I have to buy a new version and likely repurchase all the add-ons that I purchased for THIS one? That feels really wrong to me. I own much of the stuff you produce going back a very long time and as you can see below I have been a strong supporter, but after buying expensive updated versions of Galileo, and Magellan (I was mostly glad to support them even if they were costly) I now discover I need to move to new versions of Steel Guitar and ToneStack and I see no way to move my IAPs for either. Yeah, I’m sorry but I think I’m gonna have to let these go and focus my resources elsewhere. I can't really speak to the quality of the simulations, I will leave that to people who have spent more time with guitar amps and pedals. I will say that from my perspective as a long time producer of experimental music, this set of tools seems much better than most of the others like it for building original/odd/unique effects chains. That made it worth buying the full collection for me. There is some very neat stuff in here like the octiver, space echo, and rotary speaker. I feel like I have just scratched the surface, but I can tell it's going to be a well used tool in my arsenal. ### 3/5 — Would be 5 stars but IAA not working *2021-06-09* First, the good... This app sounds great, the live features are awesome, and the fact that you can buy individual effects instead of spending a ton on a bunch you don't need (like in BIAS FX) makes this one of the best. Now the bad, which is why it gets 3 instead of 5 stars... I have a lot of IAA effects, so I spent the 9.99 on the starter bundle to activate that feature, and I can't get it to work at all with my irig Duo, and when I just use the phone with no interface, the one IAA effect works, but none of the Tonestack ones do. It said something about sample rates... All of the effects I have would run at 44 or 48k, but there's no way to adjust.a sample rate in this app. Another problem I've had is when switching to a preset that has a lot of effects, it makes a loud noise that kind of sounds like what a noise would sound like if it went through that whole preset, effectively making changing presets during a performance impossible. I sent Yonac an email on their website over two weeks ago about both of these problems and still haven't heard back. If they weren't going to at least offer some support, I would have at least liked a refund for the starter pack. If these two problems didn't exist, this app would be almost perfect. ### 1/5 — annoying ad ... *2021-03-17* ... each and every time you use the app. limited effects. deleted, no fun. ### 5/5 — This has such a nice sound and flow but no auv3 *2021-01-15* Any hope of a port? I’ve bought a few modules over the years. And magellan is a cool synth the whammy and pitch shifter in here are some of my favorites would love to use them more. ### 4/5 — Still in business? *2020-12-04* Last update 3 years ago. Is there any update in the near future that could bring a background run feature? ### 4/5 — Favorite guitar app yet *2020-10-30* This app is the is, to me, the most realistic modeling app out there. Amps behave like they have real tubes, sounds are great, decent price, and let’s you get nerdy, without over doing it like in bias. My two criticism are I wish there would be more updates and new amps and effects, and I do get a fair amount of buzz through my irig2 hd. The noise suppressor effect worked great, but can kill sustain on quieter notes ### 5/5 — Great for gigging *2020-10-12* Tube breakup is more real sounding than others IMO. Midi learn gives live gig options with BlueBoard and midi control knobs. I like it. ## Frequently asked questions about ToneStack GO ### What does ToneStack GO do?
