Features
Read full description

The world’s tiniest 4-channel guitar amp plugin — now with a built-in backing track player and idea recorder. From clean jazz tones to classic rock crunch and modern metal leads, TinyAmp gives you studio-ready amp sounds in a single knob turn. Featuring built-in cab sims, ambience, and smart practice tools, it’s perfect for home practice, quick songwriting, demos, and capturing inspiration whenever it strikes. TinyAmp needs an external audio interface (e.g. iRig) to process your guitar signal.

Old school warbly malfunctioning tape delay Nebulizer comes echoing back from the IAA doldrums. But fear not. Even though it's now an AUv3 effect plugin, ready to stack up on multiple tracks in GarageBand, AUM or your favourite audio application, it's still the wayward lo-fi monstrosity you used to know. And if you didn't know it, isn't it about time you did? Nebulizer is totally free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no surveillance, no nag screens. If you want premium features, this is not the app for you.
