PositiveGrid launch JamUp Pro and Lite for iOS

PositiveGrid are a California based company with a focus on music on mobile devices. They’ve recently announced JamUp, an FX, Amp, and Speaker simulator/modeller for Apple mobile devices. The app comes in two flavours; a free to download Lite version, and the full Pro version.

From the JamUp Lite press release:

“a lite featured but powerful multi-effect app that gives guitarists access to quick bedroom practice. JamUp Lite supports iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. JamUp Lite is a self-contained, professional-grade, super easy-to-use guitar suite application that will provide access to 1 amp model and 4 effects.

• Ultra low latency multi-effect
• Runs up to 5 simultaneous amp/fx
• 4 stomp effects (classic distortion, echo delay, digital reverb, noise gate)
• 1 amp (British 30 TB)
• Convolution based cabinet simulation
• Easy arrangement of pre and post effect position

JamUp is incredibly simple to use, running a multi-effect pedal on a touch-control based device is an incredibly amazing experience. Each effect parameter can be accessed in real time through a simple touch just like the real thing. There’s no digging through menus, no learning process and no hassles. A uniquely designed touch-and-drag amp/effects signal path is available to allow users to generate the most flexible and creative tone.

JamUp Lite works with JamUp-Plug, an iOS guitar adaptor designed for JamUp. But it also works with the other manufacture’s iOS interface.”

And from the press release for JamUp Pro:

“…a full featured and powerful multi-effect app that gives guitarists access to a comprehensive collection of historic tones with incredible jamming features.

JamUp is a self-contained, professional-grade, super easy-to-use guitar suite application that will provide access to 6 amp models, 16 effects, jam track player, phrase sampler, multi-track recorder, built-in tuner, and 16 user defined presets, just like a multi-effect pedal that inspired it.

“JamUp will become the must-have app on your iPad, iPhone or iTouch for guitarists” remarked Calvin Abel, Product Manager for JamUp at Positive Grid. “It channels the current multi-effect pedal into a single app with a good number of jam focused features, plus the naturally provided user interface and super convenient form-factor, giving you the ability to completely transform your rig with this one app.”

The collection of amps/effects packed inside JamUp includes plenty of historic amp models, spring and digital reverbs, tangy mods, delay effects, fuzzy distortions, filters, compressors, noise gate and other essentials. Guitarists now have the flexibility to have this all-in-one app for their iPad, iPhone and iTouch, it’s simply the most convenient way for practice and jam with your mp3 tracks, without having to setup or switch in and out a variety of equipments.
