A accompanying app called 'AmpliTube Acoustic' also lets users easily record their audio onto mobile devices like smartphones and tablets at a studio level quality.

This unobtrusive acoustic recording device is able to effectively recreate the sound quality of recording with a condenser mic at the perfect angle, offering a practical and easy recording solution for anyone who doesn't have access to studio recording equipment.
