Notice 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

The mobile version is beyond amazing.The customizable features are very deep and addicting

And 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. Show more

So 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. Show more

With some patience, you’ll get decent tones out of this. This product Just needs a built in ir loader for more flexibility.

This thing records great. Period.o

Bought the Bias 2 upgrade for $15. However for some reason I constantly have to restore purchase before being able to use the pack. It’s annoying. I’ve tried all suggested trouble shooting without luck. Uninstall, reinstall, iPad reset, sign out and back in to iTunes store etc. nothing works. I Have sent email to Bias have gotten no response. As of 2-8-19. Positive grid still ignoring my requests. I want money back. Don’t buy this the app is flawed and they know it. I’m being ignored now! This company is has trash customer service. I plan on writing a formal complaint with evidence to Apple. Apple tells me the issue is on Positive Grid end. 2-8-19 app still doesn’t work. Show more

As a professional musician and sound engineer, it’s a great solution for fly dates and other in and out scenarios however. The in’s and outs are all wrong. All organic amplifiers inputs are static -10 dB inputs. No need to have a slider where zero represents -16 dB on top on no way of knowing what absolute zero / -10 dB actually is. Same for the output. It’s such a turn off I basically don’t use it. An update to fix this is way overdue. I would not recommend this until the inputs and outputs represent actual amplifiers. Show more

Keeps crashing and hanging whenever I try to use it with Bias Mini Bass. Will connect one time out of ten crashes.

The integration between this app and the other Positive Grid apps it is supposed to work with is HORRIBLE! You loose your in app purchases when switching between apps, and it’s nearly impossible to restore them without deleting everything off your iPad. For example, I purchased the Glassy option in Bias Amp 2 and set up some presets. Then I opened Bias FX to mess around with one it’s presets. When I opened the amp I was playing in Bias Amp 2 from within Bias FX interface to make adjustments, I lost all my in app purchases in both products and now nothing seems to restore them. This company DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING with respect to integration, the App Store, and purchase restoration. I would pass by this purchase if I were you! Show more

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. Show more

Amp 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. Show more

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. Show more

I’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! Show more

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. Show more

I 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. Show more

I am going to preface this review with, the fact that I am not an employee of Positive Grid or an endorsee. I do have to say that I do have several of their products including Bias Amp 2 Elite plug-in, Bias FX on iPad, Bias FX plugin and Bias Amp Mini. I’ve used modelers from other manufacturers & developers over the last 10 years to fill in the gaps when I didn’t have access to the amp I needed. Most have been rather disappointing. Others were completely unusable. Until I stumbled upon an article in a guitar magazine, I thought that it was a lost cause. That article was about the first Bias Amp app on iPhone & iPad. That was a great product, because I could dial in the sound I wanted. It was realistic. Not fuzzy or fizzy. And the amp models were dynamic. Meaning that they responded to the guitar input like a real tube amp would. Turn down the volume on your guitar and the sound cleans up. Just as I would expect from the real thing. With amp match, Positive grid took things the next level. Being able to compete with Kemper and AxeFX. It was great! Then..... well then Positive grid comes out with Bias Amp 2. Ok so what does this do to change the game? So I invested in both the iPad app and the plugins for my recording studio. The new app is better than the previous version. Much more realistic. I can say in a blind test I can’t tell the real thing from the Bias Amp version when it comes to comparing amps sounds of a particular make and model. It works seamlessly with amp matches I’ve created in the desktop version. And it works with my Bias Amp Mini to load presets that I need for gigging. You could spend more money on a competitive piece of gear, bu in my opinion it wouldn’t be money well spent. You’d be better off with Bias Amp. Great job Positive Grid! Show more

So you improve and upgrade your app, but charge $15 to use it? You can’t be serious.

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!

Incredible!. Nothing compares
