Mmm K

As far as stereo effects, it's probably not likely with JamUp. You'd have to get BIAS FX to have this. The response to my question about stereo effects.


Moogerfooger?

Love the app but you guys need to add a ring modulator or the Moogerfooger like you have in Bias FX!


Flawless with bias (well almost)

Pangoat

Works really well and sounds warm and convincing. However looses points for tech support always giving the same answers and being impersonal. Also the pitch shifter pedals are terrible. Can't even play chords. Whats the point then? I can play a single note higher without any hassle. Think they use note tracking instead of frequency shifting. They glitch and sound like crap but other than that everything is flawless. Also the latency could be better, I got an iPhone 6s. Wish these guys would catch up to (yonac)tonestack. Tonestack still smokes everyone else for clarity and almost zero latency, they have a 64 buffer option as well as processing quality. Come on positive grid you can do better. Stop resting on your laurels Honestly just get tonestack. Its the best one. I've tried them all and jamuo/bias is 2nd best out there but Tonestack is #1 the most versatile for experienced users. Just buy tonestack first. I will say bias/jamup get points for warmth tho. Very very warm sounding which is a plus. Give us better pitch shift algorithms and 64 buffer latency and its a 5 star easy.


Missing important features

Will write songs for food

There is a lot to like about this app. Unfortunately until they fix the GUI on iPhone 6 Plus it stops short of a win. They need to add better control of the rehearse loop. I contacted support and they say there's a blue dot that shows up when you turn it on. However you can't see it on the 6 Plus. So you end up hitting the loop start "A" button or the loop end "B" button. For most people who might want to use this to drill licks, the tight space around the loop control buttons means you'll end up hitting them repeatedly when you try and enable the loop. This will make practicing your parts a lot more frustrating. They could make the potentiometers much smaller to gain a little room on the interface for the loop controls, or even use sliders instead. Sliders would actually be better. I would think it would be obvious that the more necessary controls are the looping points and the loop on/off button. There's also no way to set the loop's starting and end point accurately. So you end up with the loop starting or ending in the middle of a measure. If they did some work on just the practice loop section this app would be perfect because you always have your phone with you when you are at a gig and if you carry the interface too you can work on tunes backstage before you go on. It would sure be a lot more convenient than a laptop. The multi-track recorder would be nice if it would sync with the drums they provide like most DAWs do. This one doesn't. They have a lot of pedals you can add and they are reasonably priced. If the Graphic interface were better I'd likely buy more pedals because I would really want to use it. Sad really. It's almost there but missed the mark. If you're not a professional player than you'll probably dig it.


Have to settle 4 this on iPhone instead of bias fx

Strizbiz

Before Bias amp & FX, this was the top dog, now its running somewhat of a distant 3rd, may 4th behind AmpliTube 4, and to be honest, I feel like I'm settling for this when I'm using my iPhone. I'd much rather have bias fx on my iPhone as I use it as my go to for my iPad , and I don't understand why they can bring bias amps but not fx to the iPhone. Anyway this app, while it lacks the possibilities of bias fx, does have its own offerings, but one of them, the 8track, is terrible and a waste of money, as it lacks so many basic features it should have.


Not good

Tweednos

Pass on this.


Over promise....under deliver

Does not Excel

When Positive Grid first came out, the programs worked. They also sold the adaptor to allow the hook up of your guitar to your ios device. Those are still shown on Positive Grid pages....but have not been made for quite a while. Positive Grid seems focused on their amps rather than their apps. In a nutshell...they over promise, and under deliver


Gr8 App !

KBarBRanch

Love all the effects! Must have guitar app. Thanks


Great for Practice

The Zup

I play bass guitar, and bought this so that I could practice the bass when I travel, and when I need to not wake up other people in the house. I use the Jam mode, along with an Apogee Jam to feed the sound of the bass into my iPad, and then plug headphones into the iPad. As long as you take care not to overdrive it, it works great. It allows me to practice for a gig when I don't have an amp set up. I love it. I do not use many of the effects, so cannot speak to that.


Jam-less

Ipodtouch/iPhone helpp1113

I bought this assuming I would have a pretty good variety of amps/ effects but you only get 6 amps and they all sound the same, if you want more for your money I would suggest Amplitube even the free app gives you 8 free amps.dissapointing
