#Bias amp 1 update
Annoying.Īn update was just released correcting some bugs so I hope Positive Grid keep up the refinement because the app deserves a smooth interface & ease of use, especially with how great it can sound.
#Bias amp 1 download
You see a cool Vox AC30 preset and want to hear it before you download it and you’re stuck looking at a button saying “playing.” with no sounds coming out of the speakers/headphones. The tone cloud thing is a spectacular idea and works most of the time, but I have yet to have the “preview” feature work when browsing amp ’s those types of things that can turn people off of a specialized app like this. The interface is so-so, the way amp/cab presets are saved is weird and there’s just a lot to be ironed out. I dig the sounds above all, the problem is Positive Grid’s lack of communication with its target users. It can also sound spiky & very “direct injection” sounding on some settings. With time some really convincing amps can be created through my Strat with Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups many of the amps sounded like tones recorded in a room with an SM57.exactly what we want. This is for cats who like to fiddle with tone variables and can tell the difference when a seemingly minute change has been made. I tried a restore purchase, no luck.Īfter playing with it awhile I’d say BIAS 2 is more for guitar players whose main instrument is guitar many musicians play guitar, chords, a bit of lead pentatonic box riffing, etc. So it looks like the 2.0 unlock is needed to purchase AND use the amp packs. It also looks like you NEED to purchase 2.0 unlock to be able to buy ANY of the IAP now, including the original Glassy, Crunch & Insane packs.Įdit: oh dear, since I deleted the app and reinstalled it again, even though it says the IAP I’ve purchased (Glassy pack) is “installed”, I can’t find the amps anywhere.
#Bias amp 1 upgrade
Your guess is as good as mine what “AND MORE!” means as an upgrade !!! 1 transformer (Pure style, whatever that is).It then says “new Tonestack models” but I can’t see any in the list which are disabled, unlike the tubes list. I don’t really understand their description of the 2.0 unlock IAP either, it says “ToneCloud, BIAS FX integration” but from what I can tell, these are part of the base package, because they work for me right now, I’ve downloaded 12 tonecloud amps to test and passed an amp into Bias FX no problem. It sounds like none of the regulars here took a shot and upgraded to the “real” version 2.with this ambiguous update I don’t blame them.
#Bias amp 1 for free
I updated to BIAS AMP 2 and am a bit confused as to what purchasing the IAP upgrade for $15 will actually get you? It seems to have the basic functionality of BIAS AMP 1 for previous users who bought the IAP in v.1 & for new users getting it for free (as some have noted, a bit lame) but aside from extra cabs are there any sonic advantages or features worth the $15? ToneStack & the Fender Collection 2 from Amplitube are my usual go-to’s, but I like & have used BIAS AMP & FX. Oh well, life goes on and there’s many other said: But you hit the nail on the head- right after they ended their association with Derek Buddemeyer that’s when the company attitude changed. After the regrettable purchase of their drummer (WHY did I keep giving them money? No idea) I was cured of any interest in their apps in the future.
My experience with beta testing for them was not particularly good, I found that they weren’t actually looking to make anything better, just looking to market more things. I’m sure they will fix these faults (SURELY this should have been fixed during beta testing) but maybe it’s time to just ditch all these Positive Grid apps, their attitude to the iOS platform has gone downhill since the days of Jam Up Pro. On the subject of cabs not working as expected, I can confirm that on our Air and Air 2, I get no sound out of BIAS FX when the “Direct Out” mode is set - you only get sound out if you disable the cab, which sounds poor. Strangely, the cabs do NOT default to off on this version, unlike the upgrade version where you have to turn them on every time.
It turns out that this is the same version that we get as a free upgrade from BIAS 1 - in other words, the extra tubes, cabs, tweaks etc are all IAP (at £20, so as upgraders we get £5 off). Ok, I remembered that my wife has her own App Store account so I picked up the “free” BIAS Amp 2.
