AmpKit does many things right and very few wrong...

I am not a professional guitarist, but I have been playing for more than 30 years and I have tried just about everything when it comes to gear. I have a full stack and all the normal fixings, but I was looking for something mobile that I can easily take with me or use in my office. This program is perfect for that. Hooked up to my MacBook Pro or my Mac Pro, I can easily sit down and jam without having to hook up next to my actual amplifier.

The combinations are staggering when it comes to AmpKit. From the Heads, to the cabinets and microphones, there is no shortage of tones and sounds available. Add in the pedals available and you have just about any sound you could possibly want. The drum and music loops, though not many in quantity, are pretty good and easily create something for everyone. Recording your jam sessions is easy and fulfilling. Moving around the app is as easy as using Mac OSX. Everything does what you would expect it to and should be easy enough for any novice to figure out his first time out. For the more complex guitarist, the options available should keep you busy for many hours. You may even be a bit surprised how robust this app is.

The sound produced is about as authentic as I could have hoped for. No matter what gear being used, it sounds good and keeps me playing for hours on end. The recordings sound just as good. The effects you can add to your sound are not only great sounding, but add a lot of "fun" to the app. Trying to find that very trippy or futuristic sound should make any player smile. All in all, AmpKit is a great app that is worth every penny I paid for it and will serve me for a long time as a Mac OSX user.
