BIAS AMP 2 - for iPad for Positive User Reviews
✓ So Much Promise (more realized every day)This app just keeps getting better. The new models in version 2 are REALLY good and very responsive. The flexibility is almost beyond belief! The app still needs bits of refinement here and there but it does its job better then other iOS modelers I have used. Once you get the combination of Amp 2, FX, and Pedal, you open up a whole other level of tonal flexibility, that really just feels usable, instead of gimmicky. My only real issue now is having an AUv3 plug in. This app becomes a true 5 Star app once that feature has been added..Version: 2.1.0
✓ The gift that just keeps givingEverything just sounds sweeter ,Magnificently so..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Sounds great.... butAmp 2 is great, but it does not integrate well with jam up pro. The amps lose all their greatness in jam up pro. It is not user friendly on an iPad. Amp 2 is amazing but it is ruined by the jam up program. I hope this gets fixed. Pretty much unusable..Version: 2.0.4
✓ IF IT SOUNDS GOOD IT IS GOOD.I have used Positive Grid’s BIAS amp design paradigm to great effect since it was introduced. It works like a champ! What other iOS app lets you create emulations of tube amplifiers driving vintage speakers that would fry themselves in the real world but in BIAS perform their sizzling tones endlessly? Currently this app has no equal..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Implementation with Bias Fx 2 could be betterPurchasing the Ultimate option in BiasFX2 will unlock Bias Amp2! Sweet!.Version: 2.1.11
✓ Bass ampsHi Not much of a selection. How do I get something like a Markbass sound..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Good software for SOLID STATE soundsIt is a quality software, no doubt. Do the sims sound and feel like my tube amps? NO. They sound and feel like a solid state version of them. Not a bad thing, (although I would never use this instead of my tube amps, but you might, IF you don't have tube amps) : just what it is. Excellent cab sims, which is where this type of software scores very high. But the source distortion can never sound and feel like tube distortion, for it is digital..Version: 2.1.12
✓ Best quality sounds on iOS, but dodgy support and marketing tacticsI own a lot of the Positive Grid products. I invested heavily in JamUp Pro and many of its IAP’s, and it worked quite well for iOS recording. I go back and forth on BIAS, though I think a lot of the problems I and many users experienced with it had to do with using it on an older iPad. Since upgrading my device, I’m really starting to enjoy the sounds of BIAS AMP, FX, and PEDAL again. But there are so many PG products, they tend to be inconsistent or unreliable. There has been a terribly annoying issue where the BIAS Amp/JamUp apps seem to think they are “recording” in the background (with the red bar on top), even when all PG apps are closed! This is really unacceptable and should have been fixed long ago. I also feel like they force you to buy and re-buy content to continue enjoying use of the app, as opposed to merely expanding what it does. The ToneCloud service is cool, but difficult to navigate, and you can only access the content to the extent you happen to own ALL the IAP’s necessary for a given app or effect. But generally, the tones are great, and the potential is endless. I’d just like to see them work on keeping the lights on as much as they focus on forcing new paid content..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Simply amazing toneI’ve been recording with GarageBand for about a year and just used their amp simulators, but once I tried the free version of bias amp 2 I was hooked! I love looking for amps other people uploaded, and playing with the components has taught me a lot about how amps work on the inside. I highly recommend this app. My only gripe is that GarageBand automatically begins the tracks in stereo even with bias2 set to left channel only. If I start recording before I remember to manually switch to mono I end up with weird phase issues and that track will sound quiet in a mix. Still, absolutely five stars for this app!.Version: 2.0.4
✓ JohnFantastic piece of software. In conjunction with the iRig HD, this software is good enough to gig/practise with. Highly recommended for guitar players. I also have the desktop version and the iPad version is just as good, and the fact that it is mobile might even make the iPad version better. You can also share the amps that you have designed through Positive Grid's cloud based 'tone cloud', which means that you can then download created amps onto your desktop version and use them there with your chosen DAW..Version: 1.5.12
✓ Just buy it!Seriously amazing product for guitarists with iOS devises. The best guitar amp by miles.Version: 1.1.4
✓ Excellent - Now Bias Amp 2This in my honest opinion is probably the best amp modeller. The only this that comes close is the Amplitube Fender 2 pack sound wise but with Bias Amp 2 the amps seem to of improved massively. I may even sell my amp and get an active cab 👌.Version: 2.0.1
✓ So good I sold my real AmpI bought an iPad Pro solely for recording music and after seeing so many good reviews about this app I decided to try it, all I need to say is the reviews were right, this app is awesome!! Worth every penny of the £9.99, best £9.99 I’ve ever spent. I was dubious about whether it would work ok with Cubasis 2, I can confirm it does work ok with Cubasis 2 excellently but a bug in 1 of the apps occasionally causes it to lose connection... I don’t know which app is causing it but it’s easily bypassed by simply switching over to Bias Amp 2 then back to Cubasis and usually it refreshes the connection, it’s not very regular it’s very random but it happened a few times over 2 days? I tried to connect Bias Amp as an insert or send effect instead of routing the bus direct into the IAA bus input and it seemed to improve the issue, it’s most likely a ‘Steinberg Cubasis 2’ problem than a Bias Amp issue😏 5 stars from me👍.Version: 2.1.7
✓ Love this appGreat tones, amazing visuals, infinite adjustments, access to thousands of artists and community presets, what’s not to love?.Version: 2.0.2
✓ IOS 14 glitchLoved this app, adored it in fact. Since iOS14 it just crashes. Reinstalled and no different. Can’t even try the iPhone version as purchases don’t cover both. I’m starting to find alternatives that are doing a great job though. Please fix this before I get settled elsewhere. ***Glitch fixed, rating up to 5*. Best amp sim available, bar none. 30yr guitar tech, this thing is amazing..Version: 2.1.12
✓ Bias and Jamup proI have this and Jamup pro, and the opponents you can change and fine tune are awesome. Absolutely love this app, but it does crash quite often. So hoping the next update will sort this niggle out..Version: 1.5.10
✓ One Huge App!I Love the Control I get with Bias Amp 2, but there is something Major you should consider...When I go from Bias FX to Bias Amp 2 I just have the stripped down amp to work on with no effects except a Mono Reverb. Then when I link back over to Bias FX again, the amp sounds Totally Different than when I just worked on it in the Bias Amp 2 App due to what effects I use with it. It would be Much Better if you made it all One Big App so I can work on sounds as they will sound when finished in Bias FX. The Cabinets are over in Bias Amp 2 and can alter the sound Drastically. All the Amp adjustments would be much easier to work on if they were a part of the Amp adjustments in Bias FX instead of switching back and forth and having to Guess what it will sound like in BiasFX. Bias Pedal is easier to go back and forth, so that isn’t a big deal. If I could adjust all the Amp Settings over in Bias FX with the Effects I want to add, I could get a better result than guessing what it will sound like. You could just have in-app purchases instead of getting both apps..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Absolute must have!Get it now. Right now..Version: 2.1.10
✓ Top of the pops! U NEED this!Line 6 Mobile Pod was previously the best amp sim IMHO, but this raises the bar for pure amp sounds: so tweakable & editable, & beautiful rich, warm tones from sparkling clean to paint stripping insane heavy. And the fact that in integrates so well with Jamup, AND works directly in Auria or Garageband via IAA is just a massive bonus. Fantastic. Buy it! Why are there not more reviews!? This is a wonderful bit of kit!!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ David Ball- casual primateMoney is hard to come by these day. Nothing else you will buy for yourself musically will provide this kind of versatility and tone for so little money. I have owned this product for 6 months and am still creating new signal chains and tones. The depth of this amp modeller is astonishing..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Bias fx has no output after the updateAfter updating to bias amp 2 I get no sound out of bias fx. I see the input meter is receiving sound but no output. When opening the amp in bias amp 2 I get a signal path error 0. No reverb block in signal path. Only when you turn off the cab in global settings you get some sound but wth out the cab sound. I go directly to PA so that almost ruined a gig . Luckily I imported an amp from bias amp 2 that was working in bias fx so I could at least finish the gig. The acoustic imaging amp works also. Please fix this since I don’t want to lose my presets. Edit: Works perfectly now thank you for fixing the issue. I had to write the bad review because it ruined a gig for me. I’ve been using bias fx Ipad to gig professionally now for over 2 years and it’s been rock solid until then. Works great now best of its kind. Six stars.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Buggy now, but was beaut!Latest update on my first gen iPad mini now will not move from the 'positive grid' opening screen. Please fix this so I have not wasted my hard earned money on your expensive program with overpriced extras... Last updates have sorted any issues I had, thanks. Back to beaut!.Version: 1.5.12
✓ Works well, but has feedback…I couldn’t figure out the feedback problem with Garageband. It works well with guitar and headphones, but Garageband doesn’t mix without feedback. I can’t figure that out, with an amp, speaker, you name it. Other than that it’s an awesome app!.Version: 2.1.13
✓ Amazing!!One of the most realistic and responsive amp sims on any platform, not just the ipad. If you own a guitar and a suitable interface, buy it..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Update breaks Bias FXI notice they had this issue back in November, too. Bias FX is a really good app, my new go-to for playing in my church worship band. I like being able to tweak things even more in Bias Amp. But the update to Bias Amp 2 broke Bias FX. I get input levels, but no output unless I take the amp out of the signal change or tap the Bias Amp icon, go to Bias Amp, then tap the FX icon to return. That would be aggravating, but marginally acceptable if I had to do it once per preset, but I have to do it again every single time I return to a preset. Please fix this soon. Edit: Updated to new versions of both apps and the problem went away. Good job getting this fixed ASAP!!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Amp sim sound good, but UI not scaled for 12.9” iPad ProThis is my favorite amp sim especially when combined with Bias FX. That said, I am disappointed with the UI on the 12.9” iPad Pro (1st gen). It is scaled for a regular iPad and the screen is tiny. This is one of things holding me back from paying for the full version. It would also be nice to have a simple IR loader for the iPad version integrated into the app. Hoping the next update fixes the screen issue. Update: With the screen issue fixed Bias Amp 2 is probably the best amp sim app out right now. Despite having to pay extra to unlock all the features, the app is a more versatile tool than ever before and conforms with standard mic placement practices (ex. 121 and 57 combo). I use this program with an older Apogee JAM and have not had any issues with sound or crackling. What I would like to see in the future is more 3rd party IR integration into the app. Overall, Bias Amp 2 a very useful tool for guitarists and a hell of a lot of fun to rock on..Version: 2.0.3
✓ LOVE THE UPDATE BUT I found a bugI love everything about the bias 2 update so far, it’s quite clear you listen to feedback cause the new update is so smooth to operate with, but would like to point out a consistent bug I now have. All downloaded amps go into my custom folder which is fine, but when I rearrange the amps, my app crashes - like clockwork - on the second amp I try to move. Thanks for listening guys.Version: 2.0.2
✓ This is a fun app with Jam Up ProPrefer the Jam Up Pro and this app over the newer offerings. Better sound, easy to see/use, and the amp details allow me to get the sound I am looking for..Version: 2.1.15
✓ So much better than I expectedThis thing records great. Period.o.Version: 2.1.9
✓ This is as close as it gets to reality!I have been using amp sims for a very long time. BIAS amp (to tweak amps to you’re liking) and BIAS FX ( amps you create in BIAS amp plus the effects) are the best of the best. I have and use them both not only on iPad but have been so impressed I also use and record on PC and Mac. Not only can they do multi platform but you can also save your favorites in tone cloud and play them across platforms. I started with PG with JamUp Pro. They have steadily moved away from the pack to make a truly amazing series of guitar amp and effect products..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Needs updateWhen you make an amp and import into biasfx2 it is way too loud and doesn’t sound the same.Version: 2.1.13
✓ Good but some bugsSo I have been using Bias Amp 2 on pc for some time but hoping to replace it with this app as it is more portable. I am having 2 weird issues on my new iPad Pro. If you have something connected to the USB-C port, you can no longer play through the iPad’s speakers. Is this normal? Also whenever you have Run in Background set to On, when you leave the app and come back to it, volume drops off and then goes back to normal. That would be very annoying to have happen live. Also could we get some scaling for the Gen 3 iPad Pro 11”? I have black borders on the left and right of the UI..Version: 2.1.9
✓ The best on iOSAnd probably on PC too. The difference between this and other sims I’ve tried is that entire tweakable range sounds analog and not digital. I tried some sims and if they sound digital I will just not use it because it takes the pleasure of playing out of it. Cheapest tube amp can give decent sound I would just buy a used Fender and be done with these emulations. But bias amp gives very natural tones so instead of buying like 10 physical amps, this is a much better solution..Version: 2.1.9
✓ OutstandingOutstanding guitar app. Best sound quality. Good visual appearance too. Highly recommended. Turns even a small setup - ipad + iloud - into a very satisfactory tool..Version: 1.5.11
✓ Excellent tone, even for a tone snobLove this app! This is one of the best tube amp emulators I’ve used, even if it were only a preset machine. It goes well beyond presets, though. It provides everything you need to design your own tube amp tones from the ground up. Wanna hear how a Dumble sounds with EL84s? No problem. A Marshall with 6L6s? Why not? Change speakers, gain stages, power amp, etc. Every amp model I’ve played through is super responsive and would totally work for a gig if I needed it to. I use it mostly for practice at home and recording demos, but I wouldn’t hesitate to take it with me to a gig that needs versatile tones. 10/10 would recommend. There’s nothing like sitting in front of a nice tube amp, but this comes pretty close..Version: 2.1.11
✓ JamUp sounds betterJamUp is clear and sounds more like the real deal. These patches sound close, but sound like somebody threw a thin blanket over the cabinet. Still, for what and how much it is, it's a great option for those starting out or making demos on the road. I just wish they sounded a bit better..Version: 1.5.15
✓ Won’t update Bias Amp 2Notice says to update. Hit update spins a bit the jumps to update. Been a few days and still won’t update Bias FX or other apps. Any ideas? Thanks,Michael.Version: 2.1.10
✓ The Largest Array of Digital Amps AvailableThis is simply the best way to add thousands of amps to your tone toolkit. If you couple this Amp with Bias Pedal and Bias FX you have the best digital tone toolkit on the market..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Best ampThis amp is the best one I have ever had.Worth every penny Well done guys.Version: 2.1.12
✓ AwesomeI read the comments before I bought the whole thing. I realized MOST of the comments were from people that didn’t know what they were doing lol. Do your homework you’ll be fine it’s a good product..Version: 2.1.15
✓ Awesome!The best guitar and bass tone I’ve ever gotten! Sounds killer, is a blast to use, and I’ve never been so inspired to play. THANK YOU Positive Grid!.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Wow!!!!I have every amp app made for the iPad and until now I've been disappointed with everyone in some regard or another. This is by far the best app in its class. I haven't had any issues at all on my iPad mini 2. I've never even considered using an iPad app on stage but for my acoustic gigs that need the occasional electric I'm seriously considering it. If your a serious musician take this thing for a spin even if just as a practice amp. I'm using the line6 piece for input and it's awesome. Great job on the app..Version: 1.5.10
✓ Great app!Recently i’ve started using this app, and first tone i made was Dimebag Darrells, tone. need a tiny bit of work, but it’s sounding great. I love how you can make a tone sound like how you want it, you’re not too restricted with it..Version: 2.1.10
✓ Not the big soundI have purchased this app and fx but it doesn’t deliver that big sound some pedals deliver. Have tried different audio devices like focusrite I dock and thought it was the dock. switched to a avid protools solo track and even a m audio fast track usb but still not that uhh sound. I have worked a lot of pedals and know there sound. Waisted of my time. Sound to artificial. Music teacher..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Woks great!After other some apps I tried I had low expectations. Am happy to say it just worked. My Ur22mkII interface has 2 channels and in setting I was given the choice of which one or both which is needed as channel 2 has the hi Z input. Must make mention of in the demo you can really try things out not to many limits. Great app ... bought it . Many Thanks.Version: 2.1.12
✓ Awesome, needs auv3After trying everything on the iPad, I’ve settled on Bias amp 2 as hands down my favorite. Other amp sims sound decent, but for me, Bias Amp sounds the best. I fooled with everything I could find but couldn’t get the tone I had in my head. The more I added, the further I got from finding it. Bias had sat, neglected for along time, because I thought I needed more effects or distortion. Finally I read how Malcolm Young did what he did with really straightforward gear and I dug back into Bias. After a little studying what everything does, I came up with not one but two amp sims that are perfect for me. No effects needed. I took away one star because Positive Grid REALLY needs to make this an audio unit. So go ahead, spend the bucks and enjoy yourself. This app rocks..Version: 2.1.12
✓ BIAS amp simAwesome sounding app, easy to use, powerful edit options. Sounds better that other amp sims out there, really excellent app. I get a few clicks with my last gen iPad, but the latency options help cure that without any issues. The user submitted amp creations really make it, so many different user based amp sim, rally make it great value for the money..Version: 1.1.0
✓ AwesomeAs a tweaker, I could mess around with this for hours at a time. It is a guitar players app, worth the price of the ipad if you don't already have one..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great sound but volume get lower when open amp in fxPlease pg team I know you read our comments and respond to us bias amp 2 sounds amazing but when I transfer amp to bias fx for effects sound of amp get lower.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Excellent on iPad ProI have bought and used THU and AmpliTube. The Bias app beats them hands down for ease of use and most importantly- SOUND. When playing along to tracks from my music library it seems like my guitar fits nicely in the mix, making the experience more enjoyable. 5 stars..Version: 2.1.12
✓ Great appLove this app, but can't understand why after purchasing the iPad version, I still have to buy the iPhone version. For this is the reason I gave 4 instead of 5..Version: 1.5.7
✓ Issues with iOS 16As was mentioned in the last review, Bias 2 is an amazing app, and I like its tones and functionality more than any other app I’ve used. And it’s integration with the Bias amps makes for a completely unique system, and the Bias Mini is my favorite hardware amp now. Except Bias 2 does not work as an IAA plug-in with any app I’ve used (Cubasis 3, AUM), and will no longer operate with the Bias Mini amp, with iOS 16. It all worked fine before iOS 16. I really hope PG fixes this soon, as it is basically useless to me now..Version: 2.1.14
✓ Finally, fixed.This update fix bug on Ipad Air. Great app is back!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Blows the competition in the weedsBeing a true tightwad I wasn't prepared to pay full price for this app. Lo and behold it's half price Friday so I took a punt. Using a measly iRig connected to the iPad I had two hours stolen from me whilst tweaking and over gaining and mic placing. Loads of fun and it really does sound the business. Tried recording into GarageBand this morning and it sounds amazing. Best five pounds and forty nine pence I've spent for quite a while.....Version: 1.1.4
✓ Exemplary!So far, quite a few digital amp modellers for iOS have promised lifelike amp response, and so many have either fallen short or have been lacking in features. Bias, however bucks the trend - it's fully functional out of the box, with plenty of baseline models to start with, lifelike amp response, massive tone and a myriad of opportunities to tweak. The user interface is, unlike many others, delightfully straightforward and the whole process of making a custom amp is quite simple if you have a decent grasp of audiological terminology. I am deeply impressed!.Version: 1.1.3
✓ V2.0 woesEDIT - fixed in latest update. Amp models and BIAS FX chains that worked and sounded good in the previous versions - ones with amp gain&distortion - now need settings changed to work and sound nasty fizzy..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Amazing!This app is the perfect way to get your tone from an I pad... I own a Marshall mg100hdfx and I run it into a deep bass 2x10 cab... That tone is almost impossible to get from anything else but I got it nailed with this app. The option of going for a solid state power section and rectifier really helped me get the valve state sound that other apps miss out on. I know that isn't for everyone( and that is why they have so much choice in the app) but it's what I wanted and now I have it.Version: 1.1.4
✓ Bias amp 2 is Great!I wasn’t really expecting much but I was wrong. It just sounds amazing. Good job!.Version: 2.0.0
😕 BIAS AMP 2 - for iPad Negative Reviews
