This I week I am featuring Amplitube 2 from IK Multimedia, a product that I have always liked. This new and improved version of Amplitude is now shipping. Here is what IK Multimedia has to say about it...
IK Multimedia's AmpliTube 2
IK Multimedia is proud to announce that the highly anticipated AmpliTube
2.0 is finally shipping. A major upgrade and a completely redesigned new
application, AmpliTube 2 software is the follow-up sequel to the most
popular guitar amp and FX plug-in on the market, raising the standard to
an unprecedented level of high-quality emulation and extreme
flexibility.
AmpliTube 2 is a complete guitar amp and effects processing plug-in, and
includes everything you need to create superior modeled, infinite guitar
tones. It offers the most comprehensive collection of modern and vintage
guitar Amp and Effects available in a plug-in, with 14 Preamps and 14
Amp EQs, 7 Power Amps, 16 Cabinets, 6 Microphone models with 4 placement
options each, 21 Stomp Effects, 11 Rack Effects and more! All this with
5 separate, neatly organized, modules laid down the same way a guitarist
expects to find them: Tuner, Stomp, Amp Head, Mic'd Cabinet and Rack
Effects, on 2 series/parallel guitar rigs.
IK's new DSM (Dynamic Saturation Modeling) technology is the workhorse
behind AmpliTube 2's unique sound. DSM offers the capability to
accurately model the real sonic qualities of hardware gear to provide
superior tones. Over 80 guitar gear emulations are featured in AmpliTube
2, with popular amp models based on Fender®, Vox®, Marshall®, THD®,
Supro® and more. Also, get the sounds of rare vintage gear, with Stomp
Box effects modeled after Arbiter® FuzzFace®, Ibanez® Tube Screamer®,
MXR® Dynacomp, MXR® Phase100, Electro Harmonix® Memory Man and more.
AmpliTube 2's exclusive technology models each section of the amplifier
separately (Preamp, Amp EQ and Power Amp) allowing you to be able to
build your own custom amp by mixing and matching the components with
over 20,000 different amp combinations! Create a staggering amount of
custom gear, including amp combinations that could not be possible in
the real world, and create your own unique guitar tones.
Offering a starting point of some of the most needed guitar rig set ups,
AmpliTube 2 comes with over 400 different programmed Guitar Amp and FX
preset combinations. AmpliTube 2 also includes presets made by several
famous guitarists and avid AmpliTube users, such as: George Pajon Jr.
(Black Eyed Peas), George Marinelli (Bonnie Raitt), Howard Pearl
(Destiny's Child), Tyler Sweet (Robert Randolph), Soren Reif, Pierre
Jaconelli, Andrew Synowiec and Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer).
AmpliTube 2 offers tremendously enhanced new features:
* A completely redesigned interface and enhanced DSP software with new
DSM technology (Dynamic Saturation Modeling)
* 5 separate modules including Tuner, Stomp, Amp-head, Miked Cabinet and
Rack effects with over 80 guitar-gear emulations included
* Build your own custom Amp with the extreme flexibility of combining
between separate Pre, EQ, Power Amp, Cabinet + Microphone modeling;
which make up more than 20,000 possible amp combinations
* 21 stomp effects available from accurate modeling of rare vintage
effects pedals
* 11 rack effects including hi-quality parametric EQ, reverb, delay,
chorus, compressor, pitch- shifter, harmonizer, stereo-widener, rotary
speaker and more
* 2 simultaneous guitar-rigs available with the choice of series or
parallel connections between the modules
* Super-flexible routing for Stomp and Rack Effects with 20 simultaneous
configurable effects' slots
* Works seamlessly with the recently announced AmpliTube StompIO, a
dedicated USB foot controller able to fully control all the parameters
of AmpliTube 2, live and in the studio, with the same feeling and
playability of a traditional floor-processor; for a new level of
integration between hardware and software and a new generation of
PC-based effects. StompIO will be available later this year.
