Close your eyes and you’ll swear you’re hearing the real thing. With BIAS, you own a complete virtual collection of the most coveted and unique guitar amps of all time—some dating as far back as the 1940s. Every amp model is meticulously engineered to respond to your playing with immediacy, sensitivity, and realism that make you not only sound better, but play better. And BIAS Amp sounds great on bass guitar, too.

But BIAS Amp doesn’t stop there. Create totally new sounds by designing your custom dream amp - it’s as easy as tap and drag. Using BIAS Amp’s highly intuitive and lightning-fast interface, it’s child’s play to instantly swap out colorful tube preamps, lush distortion circuits, classic tone stacks, boutique power stages, custom-built transformers and cabs loaded with specially matched speakers. The result is a depth and range of tones that is unachievable using traditional guitar amps or other modelers. Whether you’re a classic rocker, metalhead, jazz player, bluesman or singer-songwriter—and whether you understand how amplifier electronics work or not—you’ll be dialing in killer and exclusive tones in a heartbeat.

BIAS Amp integrates seamlessly with Positive Grid's BIAS FX and JamUp guitar multi-effects apps for iPad, expanding BIAS Amp into a powerful and completely unified professional guitar system for live use, recording, and jamming. Simply tap the JamUp icon on BIAS Amp's upper bar to open your current setup directly in either JamUp or JamUp Pro. JamUp adds an amp and six effects to your BIAS rigs; JamUp Pro adds six amps and sixteen premium stomp-box and rack effects - including distortion, compression, tape delay, tremolo, and spring reverb. Both JamUp and JamUp Pro include Jam player, 8-track recorder and phrase sampler, tuner, and metronome, effectively turning BIAS Amp into a recording studio and top-of-the-line practice utility.

BIAS Amp works with GarageBand and other audio apps using iOS’s Inter-App Audio and Audiobus. Whether recording, songwriting, or honing your chops—at home or on the road—BIAS Amp places unequaled tone at your fingertips.

Saying purchase was not made even though the app was free


I have to pay for everything again?
ak4ray

So I’ve been using PG’s products for a long time now. I have the Bias Mini Head, Bias FX for iPad & Mac, Bias Amp 2 for Mac, iPad & iPhone. So I updated the apps on my iPad and Mac, paying for the extras on both platforms, amp packs, IR packs etc. Then I updated Bias Amp 2 on my iPhone and was a bit upset to find that I needed to again pay to unlock everything that I had previously paid to unlock on my iPad. And we’re not talking $20, it’s $14 for the 2.0 unlock, $9 for each of the amp packs, and $19 for the IR packs again. I can understand paying for Mac and iPad, two entirely different platforms, but to have to pay for the licenses again on my iPhone after paying for everything on my iPad is milking your customers. I won’t be repurchasing my licenses again for the iPhone and will be deleting the app since I don’t use it on my phone, it would have been useful to tweak my Mini Head, but I’ll just use my Mac and iPad, needless to say for a long time customer this is disappointing.


Having an issue
SatansCreation666

Having an issue downloading the Bias Amp 2 upgrade that allows the dual mic and comes with the Celestion Speakers for $14.99. I have $15.00 store credit and it still won’t allow purchase. Please help, I bought a card for nothing when it could have went to my apple wallet


Crashed!!!!
lifedeath7

When I first starting messing with app, everything sounded great. But every time I try to load up a cab from the Celestion modern pack I bought, it just stays in the selection window and won’t let me go back to tweaking anything else. And now, messing with some of my custom amps, the app has crashed and won’t open up no matter what I do. PG, please fix this issue. $35 in, and this is what I get?


Cab sim
Joempkdjsldjdhdhsi

Did you really just take away the ability to turn OFF the cab sim for live performance? THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME!!!!!!!


Pay again
seaweed1972

I agree we should not have to pay for everything again on the iPhone when I already purchased the iPad update. The excuse that it is a different program is hogwash. AmpliTube doesn’t make you pay twice. Neither do other apps. I have been a customer for along time but to have to pay twice and also loose any upgrades to bias amp one is too much


Crashes

I downloaded the Lucas Mann PS-1 preset and whenever I tap on it to use it, the app crashes.


Infinite Tonal Control.

Build your own amp from the ground up! Amazing control & options! Sounds so awesome through a PA too! Very well designed app, and very easy to use. Unlimited possibilities when paired with JamUp xt!


Great APP - but still glitches
Jyoo777

The app is amazing.... but it seems to glitch when you go from BIAS to Jamup Pro and then back to BIAS to choose another amp. The amp selections are blank besides the one your originallly chose. This might be an iOS 8 issue..... but i've contacted support and still waiting for a reply. I'm on an iphone 5s


Please update
Bigdaddy87

Nice app, but Audiobus connectivity does not work. Until it does this is pretty much useless for me.
