  • Authorized by Authentic Hendrix
  • AmpliTube technology, vintage sound

The tools of a master
Take a look at any guitar magazine this year, and Hendrix will have graced a fresh cover. He remains an essential artist and modern guitar hero almost four decades after his death. His mastery not only included the guitar, but the way he used the entire rig as a complete musical instrument. Hendrix's use of cranked-up amps, stompboxes and other effects was groundbreaking during his time, and the tones and textures he drew from them still leaves guitarists in awe. IK Multimedia's finest minds collected and painstakingly recreated authentic gear from the era, giving you the chance to pull some truly "Hendrixian" tone out of your axe.

Authorized by Authentic Hendrix
IK Multimedia created AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix with the cooperation of Authentic Hendrix LLC. AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix is not only an incredible-sounding piece of software, it's also a testament to the talent and artistry of the guitarist.

AmpliTube technology, vintage sound
Unlike most guitarists of his day who were content to simply amplify the sound of their instruments, Hendrix actively sought out new tools to turn his guitar tones into malleable shapes that could range from chiming bells to roaring beasts to otherworldly sheets of sound. IK Multimedia uses AmpliTube 2 DSM (Dynamic Saturation Modeling) technology to accurately recreate the building blocks of Hendrix's arsenal, providing period-correct stompboxes, outboard effects, amplifier and cabinet models, even microphones! You simply have to hear it to believe it. The rig is structured to be easily configured to your taste, and even includes presets that assign the gear and settings Hendrix used on some of his most incredible songs.

IK Multimedia AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix Amplifier and Effects Modeling Software Features:
  • Five separate modules: tuner, configurable stomp pedal board, amp head, cabinet + mic and rack effects
  • Four amp models
  • Seven cabinet models
  • Five microphone models
  • Nine Stomp effect models
  • Four rack effect models
  • High-precision tuner
  • Two guitar rig chains
  • Jimi Hendrix song presets immediately recall the entire rig used
  • Plug-In (RTAS, VST, AU, Universal Binary) and standalone version
  • Mac/PC

Great!!

as a diehard tube amp and stomp pedals fan, i was reluctant to start using my DAW (Logic, Sonar, and DP) to generate my guitar tones. on a recommenation from a friends, i downloaded the demo and WOW!... read more [+] it sounds fantastic. great effects, lots of tonal options, and really sounds authentic. even for the patchs that don't quite so real, a little tweaking can give you a great sound. love the univibe and stomp pedals.

if your into vintage guitar sounds, you'll love this. close [-]

I can't say enough about this product. I'm using the demo version and it kicks! Really cool stuff in it. More presets than I thought...
I guess it's soon time to buy!

I guess you could say I'm a guitar hobbyist who's probably been around more guitarists than guitarists. I'm an IK Multimedia fan, always expanding my virtual libraries and effects, and I purchased Hendrix based on some great reviews I've read. I'm glad I did.

After putting Hendrix Amplitube through the paces, my first impressions are highly favorable. Of course, there is no way you can 100% emulate a setup, but the technology is so good now, with a little tweaking you can darn near reach perfection. There are a LOT of presets on here, with some presets being only slightly different, going from the 'rhythm' sound of a classic Hendrix tune with the next preset being the 'lead' of the same tune, which shows IK's attention to detail in trying to capture the authentic sounds of Hendrix.

Some of the presets are noisy, but hey, when you crank the amps like Hendrix did, you're going to get that old school static / hum / buzz that happens when you're pushing your amps to the max. So in that aspect, you're getting a really well emulated program.

The graphics are cool - a torn tweed face on the cab, grimy looking stomp boxes, an aged & worn looking amp head. And if you're familiar with Amplitube 2, you'll be right at home since the layout is the same.

IK is now offering X-Gear, so if you've got other Amplitube products, you can plug any of the effects, cabs, heads, or digital racks thru the same plug-in. This is a really cool option, being able to mix & match all the stomps, amps & cabs with the different programs.

As with any computer based DAW plug-in, you can apply this program to any track. I'm running Pro Tools 7.4 native on a Mac G5. This program does eat up some CPU, so be forewarned. If you're a guitar afficionado, or looking for an expanded program for your studio, this is a great addition and just a lot of fun to play with. close [-]
