 My hunch is that the main difference between the iOS version and the computer version of the program is the resolution. In the computer version you can set the digital resolution to low/med/high and as OBi says you can run multiple instances of the same program in a computer.

 Are the limitations worth the price difference? To me they are.

Just grabbed it. Sounds good. 
Having a blast on the Les Paul, here. 

Definitely worth it IMO as well, plus these are both newly released so they are introductory prices. People have been jumping on them because the price is so low for SLASH's TONE!

Agreed. And not just for Slash fan by the way - I appreciate the guy, I can dig some of his stuff, but the models have their own merits. I'm not usually too inclined to steal peoples tones and to buy signature gear. Sure they can give you that Slash type of sound but that's not where it ends, imho. 


One might be left to wonder whether this opens the door for other authorized Marshall models. ;)

Official Marshall models are superb. I LOVE the cabs with the Anger and Soldano models too!

Yup...I love my ANGER model.  Not only will it kick Rock and Metal behind it's great for ultra clean stuff as well.  I wish IK would team up with my ol pal Joe Egnater and model his line.  My little Rebel 20 is dang good and dang loud and just about the best (next to my 65 Fender Princeton Reverb) amp I've ever owned.

I was wondering, why Slash? There are so many other well known and much better players that have attention to their tone; Slash never enters my mind. Say, Eric Johnson, Adrien Belew, David Gilmore, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Edge, Neil Giraldo, Roger Fisher (of early Heart fame)...and on, and on. I gotta say, IK is 'jumping the shark' here. Slash is a one trick pony of a player. There's not much more to say about that. He's certainly not the only guitarist to plug into a Marshal, that's for sure. Hey, I hear Page isn't doing anything nowadays.

If I were to market a product to the masses and put a guitar player's face on it, besides Jimi Hendrix, Slash would probably be on top of my list - strictly from an advertising point of view. Not because he is the best, but he is probably the most recognizable guitar player out there. You can draw Slash with 3 lines,  and anyone who hasn't been in a coma for the last 20 years will associate that w/ guitar. Big curly hair, a top hat, a pair of round glasses - there you go. 


Of those you mentioned, Gilmour would probably be my personal pick. Page is way too diverse - it's part of his legacy, to have covered so many tones. Johnson gives me tooth aches - I never could figure what it is about his "tone". Great player, but, tone? Really?

Edge, well, as much as I dig U2, I can't think of the Edge as a brilliant guitar player - anyway, no way better than Slash, as average as you may find him. Plus, you can already daisy chain delays in AT if you want to do the Edge thing. ;)

Plus, between you and me, what do you really think the main target audience for this type of product is? I know very few accomplished musicians who use other musicians signature stuff. They may own it, just for fun, but I can't imagine, say, Eric Clapton, climbing onstage w/ a Kurt Cobain signature guitar and plug it into a Slash signature Marshall - or the iPad version of it.

@ Rain... I believe the market is guitar players. Sure, Slash is a cartoon character and that's all he is. Does a reputable company want to use a cartoon character to sell their superior products? I guess so. As for Eric, he does take his tone seriously. I find it clean yet soaring, if that makes any sense. But I can totally understand if it doesn't appeal to all. As for Edge, that dude does more than play off delays. He does incorporate tones into his playing and music. Now Slash has one sound which is not unique by any stretch of the imagination. He can sell video games, but Amplitube? Come on, I take that product pretty seriously! When you think of Marshal Amps, you may instantly think of classic gear used by countless icons of guitar. A cartoon?! Ok, let Amplitude be consider toy software, I didn't create it. So, Clapton, Cobain and Slash may have all used Marshal amps, but they don't sound at all like each other. I would say, go with someone who has a signature sound or a diverse palette in her/his work. That's all I can say about that....nothing personal.
