Wow!

Okay, so Ive cleared all kinds of stand-alone effects boxes, mixers, digital recorders, and combo processors off of my desktop, and replaced it all with an Apogee Duet 2 and AmpKit. I can only speak from a practice perspective, because I dont inflict my guitar playing on an audience. AmpKit is one really great guitarists tool. Although Ive been using it for a couple of months, I know Ive barely scratched the surface of what it can do. Its got the best guitar tuner ever, a super metronome, and handles backing tracks with ease. The built-in recorder works very well, and there are more effects, amps, speaker cabs, and other elements than I will ever be able to use. My only concession to traditional effects is a Twin Tube Blue distortion box that feeds into the Apogee Duet. Distortion is one thing that begs for the sound of real tubes.

Cant say enough good things about this app. Ive spent thousands on guitar stuff over the years, and AmpKit has absolutely given me the best bang for the buck. The last update has cured the occasional freezes that sometimes occurred with the previous version. If you enjoy guitar but dont enjoy the clutter of multiple boxes, patch cords, and power supplies, I would highly recommend AmpKit. Instead of messing with multiple pieces of equipment, it lets you get right to the part where you make music.
