Frontier Design Group released iShred, an app that let's users play guitar on the iPhone or iPod Touch. Based on the flexible and highly playable interface developed for Guitar, Frontier's advanced acoustic guitar app, iShred adds features that let users create their own custom electric guitar tones.
iShred starts with a set of high-fidelity guitar samples, then feeds them through eight exciting effects pedals and an overdriven amp simulator. Whether you want a clean trebly surf sound, a spacey rock lead, or an all-out metal assault, iShred delivers the goods. The sonic line-up includes these virtual stomp-boxes:
-- Adrenaline - Treble Booster for that extra shot
-- HK-2000 Delay - For that fat slap sound or huge echo
-- Hot Fuzz - Adds some spice, from light fuzz to heavy distortion
-- Kompressor - Gives power chords massive sustain
-- Q-36 Space Modulator - Multi-pattern modulation pedal
-- Sybil - Dual chorus pedal with rate, depth, and mix
-- Trembler - Tremolo with controls for speed, depth, and waveform
-- Wahsabi - Tilt the iPhone to control the sound of this wah pedal
Included effects in the app are a Treble Booster, Delay, Fuzz, Compressor, Modulation, Chorus, Tremolo, and a Wah. Making things even more interesting, you tilt your phone back and forth to activate the Wah while your playing. That is a nice touch. You can use up to four effects per song.
The app comes with over 2,000 chords, scales and fret positions, according to the developer. To play a song, you assign a chord to one of the top buttons, tap and hold the button and then strum the strings.
You can even add some vibrato to your playing by pulling down on the string.
iShred also comes with a recorder, so you can document your latest killer performance and play it back for your friends.
Pricing and Availability:
iShred is available on the iPhone and iPod touch running software 2.0 or later and costs $4.99 (USD).
