AmpliTube iRig VS AMPKIT Link

A quick sided by side comparison of the iRig and Link by Ampkit.

As for the software I prefer Peavy's Ampkit. It is more flexible with more realistic tone AND it gives you the option to record a track and play back over it.

Both iRig and Link are just simple inputs that allow you to simultaneously plug your guitar/bass and headphones into your apple product. They also allow you to plug into any app that uses an input like a guitar tuner.

Here's the run down.

iRig Pro's
Smaller than Link

iRig Con's
Does not play nice with Ampkit
Has a stupid short cable
More Expensive (as of October 2010)

Ampkit Link Pro's
Plays nice with any app
Quality construction
Has a longer cable

Ampkit Link Con's
Uses batteries

Ampkit Link is like twice the price of iRig, where did you see it for less?

[danieltyack]

@bfmv580 This video was made when they were first on the market, things have changed since then ;)

This is one of the worst reviews I've ever seen. You don't know shit about either fucking thing and you sound like a moron

[danieltyack]

@whyfuckwhenyoucaneat Thanks man!

"Almost exactly the same size"... sorry, im pretty sure one is a cuboid and the other is a cylinder.

[TheDUDE101GOOD]

Irigs tone is shit. I prefer ampkit

[M3XYPZ]

Thx dude, really helped me make a desicion, and by the way, the batteries help the device to eliminate wierd sounds, noise, etc

[Iamtheheadhunter1]

Cheaper? Seriously? I can get iRig for 15 euro shipped, while Peavey would cost me around 35 euro shipped...

Does Ampkit Link work fine with Amplitube app for iPhone?

[CblPOB]

@Tzevi89 Yes but it is too hard to stop an awful and powerful noise feedback when you're playing with overdriven sounds. Ampkit's team advices to use LINK in order to beat these terrible noises, and I'm going to trust them soon.

does the irig work with ampkit app?

[MontanaMProduction]

@nathanm911 And you can recording in HD i just find out. iRig can't.

[UnsterileSurgeon]

Hey I'm only a half year into guitar, I just bought an iRig, I just wanted to know if hooking up my guitar to it uses up the battery of the guitar at all..And does it actually amplify YOUR guitar and not some fender sound. :)
