ImpAmp is the soundboard Bedlam Theatre uses for live improv comedy, where a sound effect is only funny if you can find it before the performers move on. It supports multiple soundbanks, instant search, arming tracks, multiple sounds per pad, and Google Drive sync so you can share your soundbanks with the whole team.

This third version contains many improvements over the previous versions developed by the previous generation of IT, and was also an experiment in AI-driven development: I built it in Next.js using Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 back when agentic AI coding was just a few months old. It has been used to run shows ever since.
