ToneStack PRO Guitar Amps & FX

If it fit the larger iPhone screens better it would be close to perfect.

Right now you can’t add any individual effects without buying a $60 bundle. Complete disregard for customization without paying a fortune!

I don’t usually review but I won’t ignore the way these guys handle their app. I got this to look into playing BASS with it, meaning because they only have 1 other purchase to buy everything else I would have to buy their “pot o gold” to use the bass sounds. I’m only interested in bass and it already starts with a $10 purchase. I’m not about to spend over $60 just for these bass sounds. They denied my refund both times for the parts I cannot use. Scummy.

The only way to communicate with Yonac is thru Facebook. I’ve tried to contact them several times now and they do not respond to inquiries. The app is Okay. Cost $59 bucks to get the full benefit. Just realize, if you have any trouble, you’re on your own. Don’t expect them to respond.

I love the app. It has some great tones and sounds but it seems a little bit buggy. My problem with this app is that it seems like midi assignments won’t when I assign a midi cc the app seems to not remember it, and I have to reprogram it every time.

The app is fine, but $70 for an upgrade? Not until I have some support. Support for this app is only available through social media like Facebook and twitter. I do not use social media; i find my life is much more pleasant playing music instead of doom scrolling. I’ve had a question now for over 2 weeks yet I cannot get any response from the developer(s). I now have a few questions and it seems I must resign myself to never hearing from the developers. It seems they have no interest in actively supporting their app. Again, decent app, works more or less as advertised, but the $10 entry is extremely limited in access to pedals. Absolutely NONE of the included presets will work BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BUILT FROM THE $70 UPGRADED VERSION! So, yeah, the “free stuff” isn’t free: it will cost you an ADDITIONAL $70 to be able to use ANY of the presets included with the app. Also, the manual is thinner than the morality of a MAGA disciple. If you aren’t a programmer (or have programming experience) and don’t have a lot of time and patience, this app will seriously piss you off. It will get the job done, but with much frustration and without any guidance or assistance whatsoever. So far its working, but I am seeking a more effective, affordable and supported application to base my work on. This one ain’t it.

ToneStack Pro is a strong contender in the amp & effects simulator landscape. It delivers excellent value, very good sound quality, and an easier preset/rig-building workflow than many rivals. If you’re switching between Amplitude, Bias FX, or similar apps, ToneStack Pro won’t make you feel like you stepped backward. 1. Sound Quality ToneStack Pro’s DSP and modeling are well-polished — clean tones, punchy overdrive/distortion, lush reverbs and delays. In many cases, the sound is equal to, and sometimes better than, what I’ve heard in Amplitude and Bias. Especially for mid-gain and ambient textures, ToneStack Pro often wins out in richness and stereo presence. 2. Preset / Rig Building Ease Building your tone (amp + cab + effects chain) is intuitive. Drag-and-drop for signal flow, easy mixing/matching of cabs & amps, a pretty straightforward preset manager, and good options for editing. Compared to apps like Bias, where sometimes dialing in settings feels fiddly or buried in menus, ToneStack Pro makes this process more accessible. 3. Feature Set • Large library of amps, cabs, and effects (70 amps, 68 cabs, 140+ effects in the full collection).  • AUv3 support and running multiple instances is great. Try running 3 instances of Amplitude or others in one session on a brand new computer, and watch your cpu die. 4. Workflow & Usability Preset management is solid: saving, organizing, sharing presets is easy. The interface is clean, responsive. Dragging effects into the chain, switching amps, adjusting effects all feel well designed. This smoothness helps reduce the “tweak fatigue” that sometimes comes with other amp sims. Honestly, I own all of the apps named, Genome, Tonex, almost all of them. This app is much better.

TL;DR:My highest recommendation for an application. Buy this application and rest assured that you’re going to get outstanding sounds, great ease of use and very smooth functionality. I’ve been using this application for over two years and should’ve written a review before now. This application is one that I use on an almost daily basis I have all of the main brand-name iOS apps, NAM, TONEX, TH-U; but I come back to this application for the sheer usefulness of it. Being able to set up and prototype of line with multiple apps, multiple cabs to fine-tune or determine what sound works best is invaluable usefulness to me. Additionally when you insert a element amp cab affect you can rest assured it is almost always set up correctly for insertion into the line without just being over the top or having to waste a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to use the effect. This app just works. It works the way you expect it and it fits into my workflow effortlessly. I encourage you to buy this application as I believe that you will find a lot of usefulness for not a lot of money. You don’t need the pot of gold extension, but it does offer a lot of amps, that you will find useful and more effects. Highest recommendation.

After using bias fx2 for a while, I eventually tried this and feel that it generally gets me the sounds and tones I’m looking for more quickly and easily. And it also can run as an auv3 plugin which bias can’t so kudos for that. One flaw I’ve noticed is stepping with midi cc control, particularly in the whammy effect. Would be awesome if there was some smoothing, whether configurable or not. Also I do feel like the modeling is a bit static compared to some I’ve tried. But the tones it can do are amazing. Overall an amazing value and is becoming my go to for guitar effects.

Great app, very practical!

当初、このアプリはリアルなアンプモデリングが売りだったが、そこは完全にIKのToneXに置き換わられてしまった。では、無用になったかというと否。むしろ、ToneXの欠点を補う大切な存在になっている。また、AUv3規格のマルチエフェクターは他に無く、1インスタンスしか使えないIAAと違い、DAWやAUM、Loopy ProなどHOST内のエフェクトチェーンに複数含めることが出来るのも良い。 ToneXのハイゲインモデルはノイズが目立つのが難だが、内蔵のゲートはわざとらしい。ToneStack ProのExpander(逆コンプ)は消音が自然で、ToneXの前には必ず置くようにしている。但し、このToneStackは繋いだだけで音痩せするので、エフェクトチェーンの最後に常に”Clean Booster”を置き、初期設定のままブースト量を+4dbにして回避する必要がある。 また、MIDIフットスイッチやエクスプレッションペダルに対応しており、ソロパートでブーストをオンしたり、ワウを操作するのも楽しい。 アプリ内課金の追加ペダルセットは11月のブラックフライデーに大幅な割引があるので、オススメしたい。

AUMに組み込んで使っていますが、AUMで保存したセッションを読み込む際に20回に1回くらいの割合でクラッシュします。あと気がついたらクラッシュしてることも。 開発者とのクラッシュレポート共有はオンにしていますが、アップデートの頻度を考えると改善は期待できないかも。
