In-the-box amp tones have come a long way in just a few years. Gone are the days when a guitarist or bass player had to sacrifice great amplifier sound due to space or budget restrictions. Now, IK Multimedia pushes the envelope even further, with a standalone/plug-in application that provides incredible response to playing dynamics, outstanding cabinet simulations (complete with realistic room environments), stomp and rack effects, an onboard recorder, and more. AmpliTube 4 starts with nine amp models, including British and American classics. IK delved deep into what makes a great tube amp tick, right down to the way the power section and the speakers react to dynamic playing. AmpliTube 4 is much more than a virtual room full of amps. The entire signal chain, from stompbox to amplifier to cabinet to microphone, is represented. You can also use virtual rack effects and even access your chosen amp’s effects loop to insert effects into the signal path after the preamp.
AmpliTube 4 lets you choose among 10 different cabinet types (plus over two dozen speaker models), and a Cab Room virtual environment provides realistic room reflections and just the right amount of “air” for your amp sound to shine. Pick your favorite microphones, mix mic levels, and enjoy the performance of a great rig in a studio setting — all inside your computer. AmpliTube 4 even includes an 8-track DAW-style recorder and a cool 4-track looper that works equally well for performance and practice.
