I have recording devices that I use, like a good little recording device is Amplitube, that you can plug into your laptop, because it's mobile. You can take it with you on the road, you can throw it in your bag. It's really easy to use. I love it. Have you used an Amplitube before? [Editor’s note: Lita is referring to the iRig with Amplitube.]
Guitar.com: No, I haven't. I’d like to give it a try though.
Ford: It's a plug-in for a recording program, on your laptop. It's a little cord, and you plug it into your laptop, and then it has this little cigar-shaped thing. It's got a little switch on it, and you turn it on, and that's pretty much your amplifier. And then from there you plug your guitar into this cigar-looking thing. And then up pops Amplitube on your laptop.
Then you've got all your drum sounds, you've got all your guitar pedals, your guitar amps, everything pops up, and you can just pick and choose and get the sound you want. It's a pretty cool little thing. And it's little, so, like I said, you can throw it in your bag and take it with you if you're going on the road, or traveling. You can record, or if you want to just jam along with something, you can do either or.
It's really cool. You can buy it online, it's like fifty-nine bucks. And it's fun. Once you plug it in, you're like stuck to your laptop because it's got so many different sounds, and different things you can do with it. It's a brand new toy, you know.
When I first got it I was just stuck to my computer. My manager called me and he said, "Are you using your Amplitube?" And I said, "Yes." He calls me back later that day and says "What are you doing now?" And I say, "I'm still on this fucking Amplitube! I can't put it down!" So I've had a lot of fun with it.

In an Instagram post made by Saki on October 10th, 2018, she was seen using an Amplitube app on her iPad.
In a video by Selim Işık, Metin Türkcan discusses using the Amplitube App and notes that when compared to a real Marshall amplifier, the Amplitube simulation provided better results.
Guitar Jar: I have to say I love “Aquarius”, it’s one of the most exciting prog-metal albums I’ve heard in a long time. The entire production of the album is epic. Where did you record the album and was it a fairly straightforward process?
Charlie Griffiths: Thanks a lot! The whole writing/recording process took about 6 months I think. Hen wrote all the music and we would all meet up as a band and work on the arrangements and tweak the songs to everybody’s liking. By the time we came to record the album, we’d already been playing it live, which really sped up the recording process. We recorded the Drums at Misha Nikolic’s Monster Trax Studio in Chiswick and did all the keyboards and vocals at our home studios using Logic. All the guitars were recorded clean, straight into Logic, using Amplitube to approximate the tones we were after. We were really working against the clock and I seem to remember we got all the guitars done in a week and a half. We then sent all the tracks over to Christian Moos at Spacelab Studios in Germany for mixing. Christian re-amped the guitar tracks and that’s what you hear on the record.
