Tonebridge Guitar Effects

Tonebridge Guitar Effects gives you song-based guitar tones on your Mac, with presets for practicing covers and an Audio Unit for using those sounds in compatible music apps.

by Ultimate Guitar

What you get

You can play your favorite songs with tones modeled on the originals.

You get a starting sound for the song you want to play, rather than having to build an effects setup yourself. Connect your guitar to your Mac through a compatible interface, then choose from more than 9,000 song presets across different genres. You can move from lighter tones to heavy distortion using the guitar you already own.

Before you play, you can hear what an effect sounds like through more than 7,500 demo samples. Editor-picked collections help you find presets to try, while pickup-setting information gives you guidance for getting closer to the intended tone. Low-latency processing lets you hear the effects as you play, with feedback and noise reduction helping keep unwanted sound under control.

You can also use the tones inside GarageBand, Logic Pro, or another Audio Unit-compatible app, so your practice sound can become part of a recording. If a song is missing, you can request a preset.

  • Start with a familiar tone

    You can choose a song preset instead of assembling an effects setup from scratch.

  • Hear before you play

    You can preview effects through more than 7,500 demo samples before trying them on your guitar.

  • Keep unwanted noise down

  • Carry tones into recordings

    You can use the effects in GarageBand, Logic Pro, and other apps that support Audio Units.

Best for

  • You’re learning covers and want a tone close to the recording
  • You want to try different song sounds with your existing guitar
