PocketAmp is a great guitar amp and effects universal iOS app with build-in iPod music player for instant play along access to all your iTunes music! Perhaps you could include in this list?

I have the amplitube full version in combination with the iRig.
This basically all works very good and smooth.
And the software responds pretty good on any parameter that I change like treble, bass, gain, delay time and so on.
However the quality of the sound is not really that good. In fact it sound not really warm, it sounds thin and 'digital'. And this is both when using a headset as well as plugging it into a mixing-console.

Hey Jon, good question. I hadn’t thought of that. I don’t believe any of them do this. Generally once you start the audio and then enter the guitar app the audio from the iPod cuts out. I’ve seen apps where you can trick this process by double tapping home just as the second app is opening, and what happens is the app then loads in the background as your iPod controls pop up, and when the music pauses you un pause it and continue to use the program. Now that multitasking in the iPhone OS is more flexible I’d guess more app developers may decide to do what you’ve suggested.

Do any of these iPhone apps allow music to be played in the iPod app without the hassle of having to import them into the amp app? I've already got music on my iPad and iPhone – seems stupid having to import them again. Maybe it's just a limitation of iOS to only have 1 audio source at a time?

Hi all, so what do you think of these apps?

Here’s another list of real time processing apps by Johnathan Wolf over at Palm Sounds. Worth a quick look: http://the-palm-sound.blogspot.com/2010/03/jonathan-wolfs-top-ten-iphone-apps-for.html

Fretbase.com also has a list of top guitar apps, though not limited to effects. Some of these apps are pretty cool like PocketTabs: http://www.fretbase.com/blog/iphone-apps-for-guitar-players/
