Ratings and reviews

The hardware sounds great especially through headphones, but this is absolutely the worst user interface I've ever used to control a piece of hardware from a phone. It is completely unintuitive and difficult to use. It is so easy to accidentally overwrite presets and it continually drops the connection to the amp. Pairing the amp with the phone was another pain. If I could give it 0/5 I would. You guys could do so much better.

Fun little app for my Spark Go. Mostly works except a few issues. The built in tuner freezes sometimes and isn't great regardless. The removal of the Jimi Hendrix Experience DLC is annoying. It was the only way to get a wah that could be set up with an expression pedal. Wish I could use my Cry Baby with my amp but that's not how it works. It's crazy this app had a wah but not only locked it behind a pay wall, they removed it. I'd probably give it 5 stars if not for that.

Can't update the firmware because of a wifi compatibility issue. won't connect to a 5 ghz bandwidth has to be 2.4 ghz. The support for this is awful. troubleshooting guide needs a degree in physics to understand. looper for foot switch still nowhere to be found. I paid all this money for this? To be fair the tones sound good and it's still too early to really tell, but the firmware update issues are horrible. Not a good look. .......
