Bias amp 21/24/2024 ![]() Next up in the Bias FX 2 review is the overall user interface. So, let’s get into the actual setup process. The main reason I’ve used Bias FX for all of these years is simply because of how easy it is to get set up on all of my devices at the same time. This is something that is often overlooked when reviewing amp modeling software, but I think it’s important to have software that is accessible, easy to set up, and compatible with a wide range of equipment.Īfter all, if the software is a pain in the butt to set up and requires high-end equipment to use, then it detracts from the overall accessibility and experience. *Note that pricing is subject to change Featureįor this Bias FX 2 review, I wanted to specifically discuss the overall setup process. Here is a table that breaks down how much Bias FX 2 costs and some of the key differences between the different pricing tiers. However, as you upgrade to the higher tiers, you’ll have access to more amp models, effects pedals, cabs and impulse responses, racks and more. In terms of sound quality and features, all 3 tier are mostly identical. There are 3 main pricing tiers Standard, Professional, and Elite. TL DR I don’t think you lose anything through upgrading but it’s annoying the cabs default to off.So the start of this Bias FX 2 review let’s discuss the general pricing structure. 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. ![]()
