Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Haven’t met anyone yet that’s bought every app but yes a lot musicians here so lots of people buying apps for sure.
Would those be random though? That phenomenon is a bit more predictable and the sound would stabilise after warming up. This sounds more like a constantly running background effect to add more complexity to the sound, but I'm just guessing based on the dev's description - haven't listened carefully to test that feature yet
Rereading that I think you mean that the amp will always behave like it's in a warming up phase, yes maybe that's right
I think it might simulate bias drifting and voltage sag
Ah... So adding a retrained lfo on the bias knob would be a way to manually dial sth like bias drift in. What about the sag part?
Yes, I meant putting it permanently in that phase where it might sound a little unpredictable.
I’m wondering whether anyone is using Valves as a primary guitar amp sim. I have most of the others (TH-U, Nembrini, Tonex, etc.) but I’ve been trying Valves for the past couple of weeks and really digging it. I only just began pairing it with AudioThing Speakers but I don’t know that app well enough yet to say whether that’ll be better than just using the cab / eq options built into Valves.
I use it quite a bit, it’s great on guitar. Haven’t used it with speakers but I do like using the Twin cab with valves and then use Springs and use the Twin spring. It nails a certain 60s vibe I’m always wanting for cleaner but slightly grungy tones into heavier psychedelia
I haven’t yet, but I have been meaning to try it as I think it might work quite well.
I can confirm that Valves (with the cab disabled) plus Speakers (with or without the mic disabled) equals limitless possibilities for the iPad guitarist. Place Outer Space, Lines, Reels, Springs, Bubbles or pretty much any other AudioThing effect after your “amp” and kiss the next hour or two goodbye.
I’ve only recently gotten into AudioThing and I’m smitten. I love these apps.
