From Our Research Team:

Craft your ideal guitar tone!

A virtual warehouse of the best amps out there — right inside your computer! You'll be absolutely blown away by the 160-plus vintage and modern amp models you get in IK Multimedia's Amplitube 3. And the fun doesn't stop there! The amazingly powerful Amplitube 3 also gives you 30 new vintage gear models and five new creative effects; you can virtually stomp on or rackmount effects such as StepFilter, TapDelay, StepSLicer, Rezo, and Swell. Amplitube 3 also makes it easier than ever to put your sounds together, thanks to drag-and-drop configurations, improved preset organization, and both mono and stereo signal paths. This awesome software even has a cool new rotary speaker model that's sure to make your head spin (in a good way)! You also get an onboard 4-track recorder/player. And this is just the beginning!





On top of the staggering amount of tones and flexibility available, IK Multimedia's AmpliTube 3 allows you to add other Powered by AmpliTube packs to your arsenal. This includes AmpliTube Fender, Ampeg SVX, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix, and more! You can now have access to these great add-ons, all from within the AmpliTube environment.

And the most important thing to a guitar player is how an amp sounds and feels, and AmpliTube has it in spades. A common complaint from guitarists is that software just doesn't respond like an amp does, but IK Multimedia conquers this, giving you such a realistic playing experience that you won't believe you're playing through a virtual amp. Plus, you can add room sound and adjust the virtual mic to dial in your optimal sound. Amplitube 3 is an amazing way to craft your guitar tones!

Spot on!!

I own several hardware and software modelers at this point, and I have to say this one is so real it's scary! When I check a new one, I always go to the Vox AC30 emulation first. I own an original 196... read more [+]4 AC30/6 with the factory Top Boost mod, and it is the most unique amp I ever played through. No modeler, by anyone, ever got the real chime and glassy-ness of the original..... until now. The Hi-Gain and vintage amps are spot on. I've played through almost all of the amps they have modeled, and the tone (and more critically) the response is outstanding! I am giving this product the highest recommendation I have ever given to any software. close [-]

a true convert

as a bassist with almost 40 years experience, i'm not the kind that you can convince easily about so- called advances in guitar technology due to the fact that 99.9% of is not geared to bass players. ... read more [+]especially modeling, for the most part was a real turn- off. but..... after i tried my friend's copy of this soft ware,i went and bought almost every kind they had. ( this was before i found out about the stealth pedal) my bass sounded better than i ever could remember, and i recently bought the pedal, the difference was night and day!!! the guys in the band went crazy after they heard the sounds my bass was getting !!!! the TE, GK, and the ampeg and fender also the acoustic and jazz chorus are simply remarkable. you can't tell the difference from the real ones. and the stomp boxes are truly incredible. most of them are true re-creations of the ones i used over 30 years ago. the best part of all is.....(drum roll, please) total portability, and NO repair bills!!!! you cant go wrong with this package, try it yourselves, and see ans HEAR the difference!!!!!!!!!!! close [-]

The Line6 gear doesn't really have a feel but Amplitube feels just like an amp that's easily set to kill. Absolutely sweet. close [-]

Best tone out there

by from

Music Background: 20 year guitarist
If you want amp simulation that sounds like the real amp, you’d be crazy not to buy this. I own amp simulators from Boss and Line 6. While they sound good, they sound like an imitation of what you hea... read more [+]r on a recording. Amp 3 literally sounds like I’m sitting right in front of the actual amps! SO much bigger, fuller, and more present. With 51 stomp-boxes and 17 racks Amp 3 has got all the effects. You can use them in any combination, in any order, and move them back and forth with ease - Unlike my other simulators.

The only slight “ding” is the software uses a lot of CPU power. The good news is: going from the “Hi” mode to the power saving “Eco” mode cuts the power usage by about 2/3. And listening with a pair of $160 headphones, I can’t hear the difference! So, I tweak my amp settings in Eco mode, then switch to Hi and freeze the track. A small inconvenience for such great tone.

Bottom line: Amplitube 3 and Amplitube Fender should be at the top of every guitarist’s list for plug-in amp simulators. (Yes, it’s worth owning both). I’m going to spread the word. I really wish I knew about Amplitube before I bought those other amp simulations.

Super Duper!

I am quite impressed with the program. However, if I might offer a suggestion for an upgrade: one of the finest combo amps ever produced is the Magnatone 212. I have owned mine for 45 years.

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
