Ampcore Glass is a complete guitar tone studio for iPhone and iPad. Plug in, choose a Clean, Edge, or Crunch amp voice, shape the tone, and finish the rig with built-in Spring, Hall, or Plate space. The signal chain is built for fast guitar sounds without app-hopping: input trim, noise gate, 3 amp heads, Built-in compressor, bass/mid/treble tone controls, reverb, and output level in one touch-ready interface. Ampcore Glass also runs as an AUv3 effect, so you can bring the same rig into compatible iOS and iPadOS music hosts. Save your own presets, mark favorites, jump back to recent tones, and keep user presets available with iCloud when supported by your device and account. Features: - Clean, Edge, and Crunch amp voices - Input trim, noise gate, tone stack, and output control - Built-in algorithmic Spring, Hall, and Plate reverb - Spring Pre/Post placement for different guitar chain feels - Reverb mix, decay, tone, pre-delay, low cut, and high cut controls - Factory and user presets - Favorites, recents, search, and tags - iCloud preset sync when available - AUv3 effect support for compatible hosts - Glass-inspired interface for iPhone and iPad Ampcore Glass is made for guitar players who want finished, playable tones from a focused rig instead of a folder full of separate amp, cab, and reverb tools.

To use Shake to Play, hold the iPhone with the SIDE BUTTON facing you and shake it back and forth. The sound intensity automatically adjusts based on the strength of each shake. You do not need to hold the iPhone perfectly upright. As long as the SIDE BUTTON remains facing you, the device can be tilted up to approximately 90ยฐ forward. Shake detection may not work if the iPhone is tilted more than 45ยฐ around the Y-axis (toward either the screen or the back of the device). You can also play the selected instrument by tapping it directly on the screen.
