The Tone.
We care everything that you can see, hear and feel!
Up until now, the tone experience on iOS hasn't really developed to give the full dimension and response of a mic'd up rig, and other solutions haven't really provided the amazing user experience that guitar players should have on their iPad or iPhone. We decided to take this challenge head on to ensure JamUp truly re-creates the experience of playing through the most coveted guitar amps, and in some cases, way more fun.
Check it out:
- It's an amazing experience to create music on mobile platform, we love its simplicity and creativity. We set out to experiment different user interface designs, observe and learn from our users, which leads us to provide a signal path approach to allow users create their tone with a simple drag and drop. When giving it in the hands of musicians, they instantly find it easy to creative the tone they want.
- Everything plays a part in the amplifier tone design. From the high level preamp and poweramp distortion, tone stack design, to the low level bright capacitor, blocking filter, cathode cap, power amp sag, and cabinet impedance interaction. We developed a unique MESH modeling technology, not only to capture the exact nuances of each amplifier in its killer setting, but also incorporated the dynamic performance of each model. At the end, it's all about the realistic touch and response.
- Deep understanding of the amplifier is the foundation of any good amps recreation and modeling. We searched the best models that match perfectly to the original design and had each serviced professionally. We collected extreme detailed information on each amplifier, including every component, detailed measurement and modeled, and considered every stage of the signal path.
- We use convolution processing to reproduce the selected cabinets. We not only captured the exact sound of the cabinets, but also considered their matched output stage and transformer. We paid extreme attention on the mic's selection and mic position, in many cases we incorporated a collection of mic's to ensure the truly reproduction of each cabinet.
- We also emulated an assortment of vintage and classic effects processors — from must-have stompbox effects to vintage analog units. Every week, we have new effects and processors under testing by artists and players and around the world.
