Help with Bias and an iPhone

[nevusofota]

I have an iPhone 6 with the latest versions of jamup and Bias loaded. I haven't used it in over a year when I had an iPhone 5 and an old square Line 6 interface mainly because I didn't have time to tinker with all the tone control options. In the short time I spent with it I couldn't find a good tone and the lag was unbearable.

Can someone help me with which late model interface to run that will sound great and have no lag. Also, could someone send me their settings or point me in the direction of good example tones. My main amp is a 5153 and I'm trying to get a similar high gain tone for practice using my phone and headphones.

If I can't get rid of ALL the lag I'm out.

There is a latency button in the settings. Put that to low and also put your phone on airplane mode when you play it.

I bought the Ola/Merrow/Loomis pack for like $5 and they sound great. Maybe not exactly a 5150 but it sounds good. There's also tons of custom amps on the cloud for free. You can preview them first before downloading too.

As far as the interface, I use the Apogee Jam and it works great. It's a little odd shaped and seems like it's made of cheap materials (don't drop it) but it sounds really good and at the time I was looking, it was reviewed as the best interface for the iPhone. There could be something better now. The irig2 looks good.

The biggest problem I have with the Apogee is that you need a special lightning cable to use it and it's expensive. My cable shorted out on me and I'll probably sell the thing before I buy another cable since I don't really use it anymore.

The Line 6 Sonic Port is a great interface, IME.
Whatever you pick: Stick to lightning based interfaces for best noise and latency performance, they are slightly more expensive but easily worth the extra cost.

Good to know, thanks!
