Fargen Amplification and Sonic Edge announced today that they have joined forces with Agile Partners, a leading developer of iOS guitar applications, to bring models of Fargen’s distinctive tube amplifiers and Sonic Edge’s pedals to AmpKit, the guitar amps, effects and recording app for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Modeled after the actual circuitry of the amps and pedals, AmpKit’s simulations are faithful recreations of the innovative Ben Fargen-designed gear.
Three Fargen amps are available for purchase through the in-app Gear Store in the new AmpKit 1.2 release. The Fargen Olde 800 faithfully brings iconic sounds from the 60s, 70s, and 80s into the present day with the amp’s “Decade Switch.” The Fargen Super Collider is a dual-channel creation coupling rich, full clean tones with enhanced sustain and high-gain overdrive. The Fargen Hot Mod Baby Blues starts with a stock Fender® Blues Junior, and adds a useful Presence control, a revised and updated Fat switch, and a whole heap more gain to transform the baseline amp into a completely new device. The amp is paired in AmpKit with a 1×12 cabinet containing a Celestion G12 speaker, which provides enhanced tonal clarity, bite, and brightness.
