Busker Live FX vs Sparse Neural FX Modeler

Busker Live FX is a live guitar and vocal multi-effects app for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Connect instruments and microphones through an external audio interface, then control effects, your mix, backing tracks, loops and performance recording in one app. A console for each device • Mac and landscape iPad: channel details, channel strips and MR/Looper/Record in three columns • Portrait iPad: transport panels arranged side by side below the console • iPhone: bottom tabs for channel details, channel strips and playback/recording • Mac: select an external interface independently of the system default Independent channels and effects • Up to four inputs, depending on your interface, with Guitar or Vocal on each channel • Guitar: Tuner, Gate, Compressor, EQ, Boost, NAM AMP, IR, Doubler, Chorus, Delay and Reverb • Vocal: Gate, Preamp, Compressor, EQ, De-esser, Pitch Correction, two-voice Harmony and Reverb • Input gain, Pan, output faders, Mute/Solo and stereo Main output Perform and record • One stereo loop up to 60 seconds, with overdubbing, Undo and Clear • Import backing audio, see position and total time, and shift KEY by −3…+3 semitones • Record enabled inputs, loaded MR, active loop and final MIX as stereo 24-bit WAV files • Pause/resume within a Take; browse, preview and share individual files or a whole Take • MIDI mapping by input channel and Guitar/Vocal type, All MIDI channels and MIDI Learn • Save presets, edit names together and delete from the library All app features are free. No login or subscription is required. Presets and recordings are stored per device and do not automatically sync between devices. Requirements Requires iOS/iPadOS 17 or later, or macOS 14 or later, a compatible external audio interface and microphone permission. Built-in audio and AirPods are not treated as external interfaces for live input. Adapters, power and drivers depend on your interface. Latency and available processing capacity depend on your device, interface and buffer settings. User manual: https://buskerlivefx.pickandtune.com/manual Support: support@pickandtune.com

Plug in and play through real amplifiers, captured with neural networks and reproduced live on your iPhone. Amber Neural FX Modeler models the sound of tube amps sample by sample. Pick from 25 captures — chiming Vox, clean Fender, cranked Deluxe Reverb, vintage fuzz — and play them in real time with latency low enough to feel like the amp is in the room. THE PEDALBOARD Twenty blocks you arrange in any order: up to four neural amps in one chain, drive, tape echo with wow and flutter, shimmer reverb, compressor, gate, wah, phaser, flanger, chorus, tremolo, EQ, octave, delay, and a convolution reverb. Drag blocks to reorder the signal path. Save and load your rigs as presets. RECORD YOUR TAKES One tap records both a dry and a processed track straight into the Files app. BUILT ON RESEARCH The engine comes from a published paper on efficient real-time neural amp modeling — the same models, running entirely on your device. No ads. No accounts. No data collected. Plug in a guitar through any audio interface, or just use the mic. Capture names identify the amplifiers the models were measured from; no affiliation or endorsement is implied.
