1/20/2024 0 Comments Bias amp 2What would you pick to play through? Would you create an intricate signal path using a vintage tube compressor, wah, fuzz, and delay to recreate Jimi’s sound? Would you run a split setup with an authentic ’59 Tweed on your left and a ’67 Blackface on your right, each with its own separate effects chain, creating the ultimate dirty blues tone? Or would you do the same, except with a JCM800 and a 5150 and get crunchy? Would you use Celestion Greenbacks or a Mesa cab? Would you mic up with Royers, MD421s, or C414s?īringing this imaginary room full of gear to your DAW is the goal of BIAS FX 2, an guitar amp and effects simulator suite from Positive Grid. Imagine there’s a room in your house chock full of nearly every major amp, speaker cab, effects pedal and microphone ever created.

I haven’t played a guitar through it yet, so I can’t comment on the updated sound quality. I can’t see any new settings option that suggests a global setting for this. You can turn it on (but you have to enable “Unlock Signal path” in the settings!) but it doesn’t stick if you change preset again. One peculiarity (bug?) is that, from what I can see, ALL the amp presets have the cab turned off. Access to the new tubes (2pre, 2power), cabs etc prompt for you to get the upgrade (£14.99). In terms of UI “update” it just looks like a re-skin for the main screen, the amp editing screens look exactly the same except the dials are harder to read, the mark on the knobs not so clear. I have to say, there doesn’t appear to be any difference functionally, other than one or two extra knobs in the EQ area and the option for a graphic vs parametric EQ. I updated my wife’s iPad to BIAS 2 and compared it to mine on 1.8.2. I may try the new version on my partner’s iPad. I think the original 3 IAP packs will carry over. I think the free update to BIAS 2 doesn’t get quite as much features as the paid-for version (presumably an IAP upgrade?) but looks like it’s a couple of tubes, cabs, mic, transformer options. Take note that there is a warning in the app description for users of the physical BIAS head & rack not to update due to an incompatibility! ” - the App Store is showing it as an update to my existing app, so that must be free, but the store isn’t showing any IAPs so I don’t know whether anything has been stripped out of the base product to become IAP, or whether the existing amp packs will carry over. I’m also a little concerned over the statement “BIAS Amp 1 owners qualify for special pricing. I haven’t downloaded the update yet, very wary of a 2.0.0 version, there’s sure to be some gremlins ! but it seems to have had quite an overhaul. I can’t seem to copy/paste the update notes on iPad. It looks like Positive Grid have released a 2.0 version of BIAS Amp, certainly on the UK App Store.
