Tapko Lift is a super simple AUv3 guitar boost plugin built for live playing on iPhone and iPad.
When it is time for a solo, Tapko Lift gives you instant volume lift without turning your rig into another amp sim or overdrive pedal. It is designed to do one job extremely well: help your guitar step forward in the mix while keeping your core tone intact.
Why is it good?
- One huge SOLO button for fast live use
- Tap to latch, hold for momentary boost
- Boost control from 0 to +12 dB
- Three subtle character modes: Lift, Heavy, and Reach
- AUv3 host parameter support for direct control in hosts like Loopy Pro, AUM, Logic Pro for iPad, Cubasis, and GarageBand
- Lightweight, focused interface that is easy to understand in seconds
Modes:
- Lift: clean level boost with no tone change
- Heavy: warmer, bigger solo feel
- Reach: tighter low end with more cut in the upper mids
Use Tapko Lift after your amp and drive chain for a clean volume jump, or place it before the amp if you want your solo to push the front end harder.
Tapko Lift is not an amp simulator, not a full EQ, and not a distortion collection. It is a focused utility pedal for getting heard when the lead moment arrives.
