ToneForge vs Audio Object

ToneForge adapts iconic guitar tones to YOUR gear. Pick a song. We translate the original setup — the guitar, amp, and pedals — to whatever you actually own. No more "the settings don't sound right" frustration. Free to try with 3 adaptations included. Unlock unlimited adaptations with Tone Pro (subscription required — details below). HOW IT WORKS • Tell us your guitar, amp, and pedals once during setup • Browse a curated library of legendary tones across rock, metal, blues, and more • Tap a song to see what gear made the original sound • Hit Adapt — we translate the recipe to your rig in seconds • Tweak the suggested EQ, drive, and pedals, then save the result to your library WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most tone resources tell you "use a JCM800 with these settings." That advice doesn't help if you have a Boss Katana or a Fender Champion. ToneForge translates the SOUND, not the settings — so the recipe works no matter what's in your room. BUILT FOR • Beginners who want to sound like the records they love • Intermediate players tired of YouTube tone tutorials that don't apply to their rig • Pros looking for a quick reference for sounds they don't normally chase TONE PRO FEATURES (subscription required) • Unlimited tone adaptations (free tier includes 3) • Save unlimited tones to your personal library • Original-gear preview cards before you adapt • Detailed EQ guidance + signal flow per tone • Pickup, scale length, and amp-voicing-aware matching Built by guitarists, for guitarists. — — — TONE PRO SUBSCRIPTION Tone Pro unlocks unlimited tone adaptations.

Audio Object is a pocket-sized music instrument for iPhone. It looks and works like a small piece of hardware — a wooden body with an instrument panel on each face. Pull the wood edge and the body rotates to the next face. WHAT IT DOES - Four-track looper with bar-quantized recording and per-loop trim - Three-voice drum machine as the click track — kick, snare, hi-hat with a per-step accent grid - Eight-pad sampler with grid, auto, and tap chopping, two switchable banks, three-band EQ, varispeed tuning - Project save, load, and WAV stem export with tempo map - Streams audio to any Mac DAW over USB (Inter-Device Audio & MIDI) - Sends MIDI clock over USB — Ableton, Logic, and Bitwig lock transport to the phone - Records stereo from any Core Audio interface (iRig, Focusrite, MOTU, and others) HOW IT WORKS Six faces. Perform pads on one, sampler on another, click and time signature on a third, projects on the back, I/O on top, master on the bottom. No menus, no tabs. Every control lives on the body. The click track is not a metronome. It is a three-voice drum machine with per-step accents, subdivisions from quarter notes to swing, and time signatures from 3/4 to 12/8. Set up a kick-snare-hat pattern, press record, loop on the beat. The sampler holds eight pads across two banks. Record from the mic or load from Files. Chop by grid, by transient, or by tapping markers. Each pad carries a three-band EQ, varispeed pitch, and an amplitude envelope. All eight play polyphonically. Recording quantizes to the bar, the beat, or runs free. A dedicated loop-adjust face trims each loop to the sample — drag the region brackets, snap to the grid, hear the result while the brackets move. Plug the phone into a Mac over USB. Audio Object appears as an audio input and MIDI clock source. The DAW locks transport to the phone's tempo. No drivers, no setup. Plug a USB audio interface into the phone. Audio Object names the device on screen and records through its preamps at up to 48 kHz stereo. WHAT IS NEXT A synthesizer — bass, chord, and lead modes — is in development for the next major release.
