Here's the apps I currently use for real-time alteration of live music sounds.
Effector Lite.
Nice sounding, multiple effects and free!
RiotFX
Nice set of effects including auto-wah (although it could do with better reverb)
I haven't even got around to covering this as yet, but I will soon.
StompVox
Very nice echo unit
PRS Amp
Great tuner and basic effects unit.
iRock
Good range of sound options but could do with a few more effects.
Voiceband
Works very well with an instrument as an input (not so well using just your voice).
Jasuto Pro
Great for experimenting with.
Plenty of options to change the sound of an input although there is a bit of a time lag involved.
OttO
Can be used to get some weird sound effects from a live instrument.
SfS Synth
This is limited but gives a strange slightly lagged background synth accompaniment to a live performance.
SonicVox
I know its designed for silly voice tricks but I found it can also be used as an interesting music effects unit (particularly the first setting).
Thanks for these Jonathan. I hadn't thought of doing themed top 10 lists, but if anyone else wants their themed list or their current top 10 just email.

I think that was my list!
SFS synth can be found in the app store by searching for "sound from sound synthesizer"
RiotFX looks interesting. I'll have to give it a try.
Hi, thanks for the killer list. Hands down RiotFX is the best of the bunch in my opinion. But you forgot to mention a few other great ones. What about Amps & Cabs, how about Guitar FX (let's you record!). Check out my blog for a review of some more of the best here: Guitar Effects and Practice Amps for iPhone, iPod, or iPad
Guitar FX in my opinion is a better option than Riot FX because of the recording feature. In term of these kinds of iphone apps, both are solid options though.
PocketAmp is a great guitar amp and effects universal iOS app with build-in iPod music player for instant play along access to all your iTunes music! Perhaps you could include in this list?
