Your complete guitar rig. In your pocket. Professional guitar signal chain for iOS. Amp sims, cab loading, true stereo effects — build your rig and play it anywhere. No compromises. Free to try. Start immediately with Overdrive, Delay, and Chorus. Unlock the full rig with Foundation Package — every amp, every cab, every effect, the complete preset library. One purchase, no subscription. Build Your Rig Stack effects in any order, drag and drop to reorder, dial every parameter with precision knobs, and save complete setups as presets. Switch between full rigs instantly — amp, cab, all effects, all settings — in one tap. Amp Simulation Four amp models, each voiced for a distinct playing style: - Clean — warm, high-headroom response with natural compression - Crunch — aggressive midrange with harmonic density that builds with pick attack - Spring — clean amp with built-in spring reverb; presence knob controls reverb depth - Brit — open, bright voicing with a harder, faster clip response - Each amp has Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, Gain, and Volume controls. Cabinet Simulation Seven cabinet impulse responses, convolution-processed on-device. Swap in real time: US Clean 2x12, Brit Chime 2x12, Brit Stack 4x12, US Brown 1x12, US Tweed 1x12, Modern Stack 4x12, Vintage Vibra 1x12 True Stereo Signal Chain Every pedal, every connection, every effect runs stereo end to end. Mono inputs upmix cleanly at the input stage. Effects like Chorus, Reverb and Rotary run independent per-channel processing for real spatial width — not duplicated mono. Effects - Overdrive — warm asymmetric breakup that cleans up with your volume knob - Fuzz — high-gain distortion that cuts through and sustains - Compressor — soft-knee dynamic control with automatic makeup gain - Delay — echo with Time, Feedback, Tone, and Mix - Reverb — algorithmic reverb with decorrelated stereo tails - Chorus — stereo chorus with 90 degree LFO offset between channels for real width - Tremolo — from gentle pulse to hard chop - Rotary Speaker — Leslie-style horn and drum modulation - Pitch Shifter — real-time shifting up to two octaves - Phaser - Flanger - Noise Gate - 6-Band EQ - Looper — record, overdub and loop live inside the chain - Auto Wah — envelope filter that opens with your pick attack and closes as the note decays Record, Import, Export Record your processed output directly to M4A from the output pedal. Export and import complete signal chains between devices. Ready-to-Play Presets Eight built-in rigs to get started immediately. Each fully editable. Works with any UAC1 USB audio interface — connects and plays automatically. Build your rig on the couch. Play it on the stage.

Meet Jynth, the new synth by Fingerlab for iPhone, iPad and Mac — the warm, analog soul of the iconic Roland Juno-106, reimagined with a groundbreaking Physics Engine for organic, living sound. Designed for leads, basses, keys & pads, Jynth delivers that classic vintage character you love — housed in a meticulously crafted, photo-realistic interface that looks as good as it sounds. Shape your sound with a full analog-style signal chain: From the dual oscillators and resonant VCF filter to the ADSR envelope, LFO and built-in arpeggiator — every parameter has been carefully tuned to feel as musical as it sounds. Go further with 6 studio-grade effects: Tremolo, Flanger, Overdrive, Chorus, Delay & Reverb — stack them to build rich, evolving textures and cinematic soundscapes. Bring your presets to life with the Physics Engine: This is where Jynth truly stands apart. Assign up to 8 physics-driven modulations to any synth or effect parameter. Gravity, bounce, impulse, angle — let the laws of physics shape your sound in ways no LFO ever could. Every preset becomes unique, every performance feels alive. Explore new sonic territory with Preset Per Note & Preset Ribbon: Inspired by the music of Aphex Twin, Preset Per Note lets you assign a different preset to each key of the piano keyboard — so every note triggers an entirely different sound. Take it further with Preset Ribbon: select a collection of presets and glide between them in real time, simply by sliding your finger across the ribbon. A new way to perform. A new way to play. Play anywhere, plug into anything: Jynth is universal — one purchase gives you the full experience on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Use it as a standalone app or load it as an AudioUnit (AUv3) plugin directly inside your favorite DAW. Pair it with your MIDI controller via MIDI In support, and your sound is always there — even when your screen is off, thanks to Audio Background mode. Unlock the Full Version to access preset creation, all factory presets, FX, Physics Engine, Randomizer, Undo, Preset Per Note & Preset Ribbon.
