ToneKnob TinyAmp vs Ispin Saturator

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.

Ispín adds weight, warmth and grit to thin-sounding tracks. Push it gently for compression and glue, or drive it hard for full distortion. Four controls, no menus, nothing to set up. RICHNESS: Density and drive. Goes from subtle thickening to heavy saturation. COLOUR: Tilts the harmonics dark to bright, so the dirt sits where you want it. ROUGHNESS: Drives the waveform off-centre for buzz, grind and edge. OUTPUT: -18 to +6 dB of trim, for a level-matched A/B against your dry track. At zero, Ispín passes audio at unity gain — so bypass tells you what you added, not just what got louder. Six presets included: Grand So, A Bit of Dinner, The Crispy End, Hot Tea, Full Breakfast Consequences, and I Left the Immersion On. Save your own alongside them. The interface resizes to fit the space your host gives it, in portrait or landscape. Note: This is an Audio Unit Effect Plugin (AUv3), which requires a host such as AUM or Loopy Pro – or a DAW such as GarageBand, Logic Pro or Cubasis.
