Steel Guitar’s axes range from 6-string electrics to acoustic, 12-string, and to even 8- and 10-string pedals steels. Amps include all the important models of the last 60 years — each one complete with channel switching, adjustable gain, and EQ.

Reviews
Genuinely Nice App
Manelee Arnbee
Love the app, very unique and creative. Would be complete imo if it included a Nylon String Guitar. I know there are no steel slides in Nylon Guitar playing, but this is todays’ music. Composition and creativity is what you make of it, so the limitation of not having one only leaves room for the next guy to go for it. My two cents.
IAA issue
SCrawM
I’m trying to use this as an IAA in BM3 and no sound is coming through. Tried to use with Audiobus but this app isn’t compatible. Is there a way to make this work?
Was on sale with all apps today and bought it all but doesnt work
Tommyapplesauce
Even bought the “whole enchalada”package for an extra 9.99 to be able to access midi control but it doesn’t work
Rip-off Alert
MaestroJFlex
They have the nerve to put this on cybermonday sale without revealing that it crashes on open because is FIVE YEARS OLD and yet ANOTHER paid app rendered useless by an apple update with no discernible value. This was a lovely application and like so many others, is useless and irreplaceable. Don’t bother clicking for support, they don’t even list this on their menu. For sale yes, support NO.
Midi
Tek 5
Would love it if you could add midi notes...so you can play the actual sounds thru a midi controller(keyboard)...I could rate this 5 stars...the pitch bend or mod wheel should control the slider bar...you could sell more...most people use midi controllers these days...then I could rate it 5 stars
What Have I Been Missing?
Gitarzz
I bought this app when it first went on sale and picked up the in-app purchases. I played with it a couple of times then I never touched it again until today. 5 years I’ve had this and not used it’s amazing tone and vibe. Over the last couple of years I’ve learned a bit about slide guitar so I applied that to this and in no time I was playing Ry Cooders Feelin’ Bad Blues. The only real downside I see with this is that I can’t mute the strings that are ringing when I move to other strings. That’s right hand technique. But you can adjust the dampened sustain so it creates an imperfect approximation but still usable. I highly recommend this app even if just to try killing time in the waiting line at your local rat race. It sounds great and it’s fun.
No MIDI Hardware Support
RubenCarrilloJr
Even though the app says Hardware In, I assumed this meant that you can enable playing notes on your midi keyboard, it doesn’t work at all. I wish I had never purchased this.
Would pay almost anything for Yonac to update this for iOS 13

Best guitar simulator available on iOS now that Pearl Guitar bit the dust, but Steel Guitar has always been far better at strumming and simulating different types of guitars. Would jump at Steel Guitar 3.0 in a heartbeat since this app only works on pre-iOS 13 devices. Addendum: The app works with iOS 13.3, but its use as an in-app instrument (in GarageBand) is now less reliable and it crashes unexpectedly. But can still be used in this way.
