Phone Interface and App

Peavey Electronics and Agile Partners partner up to launch an app and interface that models amps/effects and a studio.

The AmpKit? LiNK? audio interface raises the audio fidelity bar for the iPhone platform. AmpKit?

LiNK’s CrossTalk? Eliminator solves the feedback problem inherent in existing unpowered iPhone interfaces. The interface can be used with any recording, processing, or tuning application, including Agile Partners’ GuitarToolkit (Dell Precision M70 Battery) ?.

AmpKit features include:

Amps

Starting with the Peavey ValveKing? amp that comes free with AmpKit?, AmpKit? offers amps that are based on legends, amps that roar, and amps that crunch when you turn them up (Dell XPS M1330 Battery) .

Each amp in AmpKit? is modeled after the real amp’s actual circuitry and includes individual controls that match up with the most important knobs and switches on the amp. Many amps include multiple channels: the Peavey ValveKing?, for example, includes both Clean and Lead channels. Add new amps to AmpKit? through the in-app Gear Store, making AmpKit? infinitely extendable. There are 11 amps and 19 amp channels available currently (Dell TT485 Battery) .

Pedals

A total of 15 pedals make up AmpKit’s pedal selection. The user can run as many as a dozen or even more effects pedals at a time. Available effects include: multiple distortion and fuzz pedals, reverb, delay, 10-band EQ, octave, chorus, flanger, phaser, vibrato, noise gate, and compressor. The free AmpKit? app includes three pedals, with 12 additional pedals available in the Gear Store and more to come (Dell XT832 Battery) .

Cabs

AmpKit gives you total control of your cabinets. The AmpKit? app includes two awesome cabinets for free: the Peavey ValveKing? 4x12 and ValveKing? 112. You can add up to 11 more cabinets as you add amps through the Gear Store, from workhorse cabs with solid mid tones to powerful cabs with colorful crunches and sparkling highs. AmpKit’s polished user interface makes it easy to choose from a wide range of cabinets, mix and match cabinets with different amps, and save your favorite setups (Hp 520 battery) .

Mics

AmpKit gives you total control of the microphone and the microphone positioning. The app includes two mics. Six additional mics are available in the Gear Store, from rugged dynamic mics that can handle whatever volume you dish out to amazing condenser mics with the frequency and transient response you need, all with ultra-low latency (IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet battery) .

Tools

AmpKit includes tools you need for a guitar audio studio.

Recording & Reamping: AmpKit? allows you to record as you play. Since it records both dry, unprocessed guitar audio and wet sound that has run through the amp and effects chain, you can actually take your recording and “reamp” it through a different amp setup (Acer Extensa 500 battery) .

Backing Tracks: Upload your favorite songs and play along, or record your own backing tracks.

Tuner & Metronome: AmpKit? includes ultra-precise tuner and metronome capabilities.

Availability & Ordering (Dell Studio 1737 battery )

The AmpKit? LiNK? guitar interface will be available for pre-order from the Peavey online store as well as from dealers, distributors and retail stores for $39.99. The AmpKit? app for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad will be available in the Apple iTunes App Store (Dell Vostro 1710 Battery) .
