Joshua David Aquino has recently released ToneRig, available as a FREE download with an optional in-app purchase that unlocks the Pro version.
ToneRig turns your iPhone or iPad into a responsive amp, cab, and pedalboard rig for guitar and bass. Connect a USB audio interface, load a tone, and play. No laptop required.
Built for playing, not just previewing. ToneRig runs at your audio interface’s hardware sample rate with a small buffer, keeping your sound tight and responsive.

- ALON Bass Synth: a four-voice analog-style bass synthesizer with a triggered resonant filter sweep, ten factory presets, and savable user presets
