GuitarTone: Amps and Effects for iOS

Before reading further, see the Important Announcement Regarding Sonoma Products' Sales and Support from July 31, 2022.

With all new tube models taking advantage of all the processing power available in iOS 10 devices, GuitarTone 3 achieves a truly satisfying tube-amp sound. These newly voiced amps are more responsive than ever. The drive of the amps can be completely controlled with your playing and the guitar's volume control. Inspired by the ultimate collection of iconic and boutique amps and effect pedals, GuitarTone offers a wide variety of high quality tones. The best interpretations of essential vintage and custom amps, pedals and microphones.


  • Pedals
    Effects

    Includes 3 Free Effects. 26 more available for $0.99 each. Use up to 6 pedals at a time. Pre-post switch on stereo enabled pedals allows studio effects routing. Two brand new pedals, the Screamer pro-overdrive and the Rooster resonant-overdrive are available for purchase.

  • Amps
    Amps

    Includes 3 Free Amps. 25 more available for $0.99 each (includes matching cab.) All new tube models with up to 5 pre-amp tubes used in high gain amps. Unlike other amp models, Sonoma doesn't rely on smashing the input signal to create a depthless unresponsive tone. 2x oversampling with all processing done at 88.1kHz.

  • Cabinets
    Cabs

    Includes 3 Free Cabs. 25 more available (cabs included with purchase of matching amp.) All impulse responses were directly measured at 96kHz 24-bit with 4 high-end microphones (Neuman U67, Royer 121, Earthworks M-30, and Shure SM57) through vintage Neve mic-preamps.

GuitarTone works with most audio input accessories, but sounds best with Sonoma's new GuitarJack Stage and StudioJack Mini multi-channel audio interfaces, which connect a wide variety of instruments and microphones to iOS/Mac/Win for the highest quality sound, allow you to charge your iOS device while using GuitarTone, and are proudly made in the U.S.A. Critically acclaimed as "top-of-the-line...impeccable sound with no discernible noise." (Rolling Stone), "better fidelity" (Premier Guitar), and "very quiet with plenty of headroom, and not a hint of RF hum" (Tape Op), GuitarJack interfaces are the result of a partnership between renowned audio designer, Joe Bryan, and Sonoma. Sonoma's interfaces are ideal for jamming with GuitarTone, and for recording using the GuitarTone tool in FourTrack and StudioTrack.
