Congrats to you guys -- you just had AmpliTube featured very prominently in the iPad ad I saw right at the end of baseball's World Series.

Next up: the Super Bowl?

Nice!
I got iTube 2.0 rockin' like Dokken on the iRig over here!
It blows my friend's POD away!

yes, i have to say that this version sounds and feels better than my pod xtlive
(although without all the options.. but soundwise, yes!)
and isn't all that far from the sound/feel of AT3

Thanks! We're quite proud to be in that ad, right at the end and since the theme of the add is "iPad is electric" it fits quite well. Check it out here: http://www.apple.com/ipad/gallery/ads.html#ad-electric

Any Chance of an Android version?

iTube 2 steals the show in the ad!
I love how they utilize it in the theme song.

Any Chance of an Android version?

We follow this very closely, both the market and the technical aspects. Which leads to this somewhat unfortunate update based on the most recent findings: Unfortunately, with the current version of the Android OS it is not possible to have low latency audio processing between a physical audio input and a physical audio output. This makes the realization of applications that require low-latency input/output processing (like AmpliTube) impossible at the moment. Of course, there is a very active community of developers that are requesting these features be implemented. We look forward to being able to further analyze this issue again with newer versions of the OS, but so far the only chance for AmpliTube iRig on Droid is to wait for these OS capabilities to be improved.
