AmpKit – Coming Soon
Yesterday, we got the heads up by Agile Partners that their new app is on its way to the AppStore, AmpKit. Agile Partners, for those who are unfamiliar with the name, are the developers of both Guitar ToolKit and Tab ToolKit, probably the two biggest selling apps for Guitarists.
Being a big fan of both Guitar ToolKit and TabToolKit this new app sounds very exciting. AmpKit is said to be the ultimate amp and pedal kit right on your iPhone with the ability to record what you’re playing as well. Agile Partners have teamed up with Peavey Electronics to put this amazing app together. Whilst the app is free, you do need to purchase the AmpKit LiNK (available to pre-order for $39.99) which will allow you to plug your guitar into your iPhone.
Here’s the full press release:
Fresh off the heels of winning a 2010 Apple Design Award last week for our TabToolkit app, Agile Partners is pleased to announce that we are joining forces with Peavey Electronics, one of the world’s largest music and audio products companies, to launch:
- AmpKit, the ultimate guitar amp and pedal studio for iPhone and
- AmpKit LiNK, a high fidelity electric guitar connector for iPhone/iPod touch/iPad.
You can check it all out here: <http://ampkitapp.com. It’s incredibly easy to plug an electric guitar into an iPhone using AmpKit LiNK and then jam anytime and anywhere with all the gear in the AmpKit app. AmpKit is the perfect addition to Agile Partners’ GuitarToolkit and TabToolkit family of guitar apps.
AmpKit is a free app that comes with a two-channel Peavey ValveKing amp, 2 cabinets, 2 mics and 3 pedals. In addition, you can buy all sorts of additional gear from an in-app Gear Store:
- 10 additional amplifiers based on the actual circuitry of amps from leading manufacturers
- 12 cabinets, 12 pedals and 6 mics
- and more gear coming all the time!
With AmpKit, you can also record, re-amp, play with backing tracks, and create your own custom setups with 12+ active pedals in a single setup. Unlimited presets can be easily saved and recalled. Latency is ultra-low (i.e., not even noticeable), and a precision tuner and metronome are built-in. AmpKit is truly a powerful mobile guitar recording studio!
AmpKit LiNK is a high fidelity iPhone/iPod touch/iPad connector for electric guitar, bass and other instruments. It has an audio output for headphones, powered speakers, or PA. AmpKit LiNK is a powered device that virtually eliminates feedback — a key differentiating feature! The device works with any recording, processing or tuning app, including Agile Partners’ highly rated GuitarToolkit app.
AmpKit will be available on the iTunes App Store. AmpKit LiNK is available for pre-orders now. For more information on AmpKit and AmpKit LiNK, check out http://ampkitapp.com and http://peavey.com/ampkitlink

Did You Pre-Order iPhone 4 Today?
By now we’re all aware that this pre-order system has been far from perfect. In fact, it seems the issues have stopped a large amount of you from pre-ordering the model you wanted, when you wanted it.
Luckily, as of writing, the shipping date of ‘Delivers by June 24th‘ seems unchanged, but as Apple depletes its allocated online stock we may see delivery delays imposed. (more…)

iPhone 4 Pre-Orders Grind to Halt As Demand Outweighs Apple and AT&T Expectations – [Update x7: AT&T Cancelling Confirmed Pre-Orders]
This morning Apple opened pre-orders for its flashy (excuse the pun) new revision to its iPhone product line – iPhone 4. Advertised as the biggest leap since the original iPhone introduced back in 2007, iPhone 4 brings with it a 5 mega-pixel camera complete with iMovie integration, a new 326 pixel-per-inch ‘retina display’ and FaceTime, video conferencing over a Wi-Fi (and soon 3G) network.
