Rhino - Guitar Amp Sim for Android

Spent a few 100s of dollars on apps, this one is in my top 5 along with mammoth. Can’t believe this quality is available to iOS for such a low cost. If you’re thinking about buying it…. DO IT!

I’ve used AmpliTube and Bias FX for years but I find myself turning to Rhino more than either of these for a few reasons. 1. The sound is great. I play a wide range of styles and use clean on the edge of breakup way more than high gain. I’ve found I can get nearly any tone I need from this amp sim with some careful choices. The provided presets will get anyone started well enough but if you have used a real amp and pedal setup and have an OK understanding of how stage an amp rig you will have no problem dialing in some great tones through Rhino’s excellent interface. 2. Said interface. It’s the most useable one page amp rig interface I’ve ever used. I love the look, but the functionality rules here. Also, no tired skeuomorphic design. I don’t hate rigs that try to look like real gear, but all that artistry takes up a lot of visual space. Rhino packs way more into one interface thanks to not going this route. 3. The IRs and effects really make this sim sound fantastic. You can roll your own IRs but I haven’t felt the need since the ones built in sound great to me. The Flanger is a different take on this effect and takes some careful adjusting to get something that sound like what I’d expect but all the effects are great. 4. The hidden octaver. Touch the Rhino skull in the middle and drag to add octave effect. Another nod to the simplicity of the interface. 5. Audio Unit support. I can actually use this right inside all my iOS DAWs without relying on clunk Interapp Audio. This alone makes it kill my interest in most of the other sims. 6. Price. How is this so inexpensive and so good? Thank the metal gods I guess. - - - - - - - - - - - - DEV TEAM: A couple of wishes: MIDI mapping. If we could map a floorboard to turn on and off effects and settings Rhino would be the ultimate Mobile/Android live guitar rig. A tremolo effect in the mod section would sure be sweet coupled with the RED pre amp model.

I play everything from blues to Prog rock...Rhino does it all! Any chance we could get AUV3 support? Great job guys!

Possibly the worst tone I’ve ever had.

Incredible value for a honestly ludicrous price. For $6 you can have an incredible array of tonal capabilities for electric guitar and bass (Rhino and Mammoth) I record psychedelic pop indie rock alternative and both these apps get it done beautifully and so intuitively. These apps are not just for heavy metal, thrash, etc. I don’t play either of those genres and I get everything I need and more from these two apps. I’ve spent so much on nembrini amps / effects but I must say I prefer the usability of this app and it’s incredible what’s jam packed into one single app works great with cubasis and aum. Definitely a must for all guitarists and bassists like myself and for all those absolutely nuts about tone and sound also like myself. There’s a reason Aurora DSP only has two apps out….that’s all you need. Enjoy and make some great music
