  • Sound collections from Fender, Orange, Mesa/Boogie, Leslie, and Fulltone
  • Artist collections from Slash, Jimi Hendrix, Dimebag Darrell, Brian May, and Joe Satriani
  • 5 amp models
  • 2 stompboxes

  • Customizable signal chains
  • Expanded rig and FX capacity

Route it your way

AmpliTube 5 provides users with a customizable gear chain with drag-and-drop functionality. The new signal chain can handle 57 simultaneous models (including Amps, Cabs, Racks, and Stomps), which means that any signal configuration you can dream up is now on the table. Mono to stereo; series and parallel; and even wet-dry-wet signal paths are possible. Once you get your signal set up, record straight into the newly redesigned Mixer. It makes it easy to blend the sound from the available mics, cabinets, and DI into one unified tone. Within the tool, take advantage of panning, busses, and 19 baked-in effects to shine a studio polish on your tracks.

VIR technology gives you extra sonic diversity

IK Multimedia pulled out all the stops when they created AmpliTube 5's re-engineered Cabinet section. It's outfitted with all-new Volumetric Impulse Response (VIR), which utilizes 600 IRs per speaker to give musicians a 3D arrangement of mic placement options — all with a handy grid and snap-to function. Plus, IK Multimedia came up with a process for capturing the interaction between the speakers, cabinet, and flooring for an unbelievably lifelike feel. And if revolutionizing cab simulation wasn't enough, IK Multimedia remeasured more than 100 cabinets for AmpliTube 5. All together, AmpliTube 5 provides more than 143,000 IRs for you to choose from. With enough digging, you'll guaranteed to dial in a sound that's all your own.

Dynamic, amp-like playing experience

Sweetwater knows the most important thing to a guitar player is how an amp sounds and feels, and AmpliTube nails it. A common complaint from guitarists is that software just doesn't respond like an amp does, but AmpliTube gives you such a realistic playing experience that you won't believe you're playing through a virtual amp! Plus, you can add room ambience and adjust your virtual mics to dial in your sound just they way you want it. AmpliTube 5 is a dynamic tool that will help you achieve your perfect guitar tone.

Onboard 8-track Recorder/DAW in standalone mode

When used as a standalone application, AmpliTube 5's onboard 8-track DAW makes recording your musical ideas easy. It features robust, sequencer-like waveform editing that's ideal as a sketchpad for new ideas, or as a full-fledged recording solution. Any way you use it, you'll be productive right from the get-go. Each track features standard treble, midrange, and bass EQ; pan control, level, mute, solo, and record enable; plus an FX enable button.

Rated 5/5

Absolutely love it

I'm relatively new to computer software for guitar tones but I have to say that I'm blown away by the tones with this software. All the amp models that I've tried have sounded incredible and having all the mics, amps, pedals, etc at my fingertips has allowed me to experiment with tones I never would have dreamed about trying. I'm flabbergasted by the amp responses and I can't get over being able to customize the cabs with different mics and speakers while hearing the differences in tone in real-time. Exceptional sound quality and if an idiot like me can figure out how to use it, you know the interface is easy. Works excellent with my daw. Get it, you'll love it. If you've been on the fence about trying out software as opposed to the real deal, believe me when I tell you after using the software for a little bit you'll say the same thing I did, "Where has this been my whole life!?"

Great Software

I've had this software for a few months now. You can definitely get any sound you can think of with the software. Lots of amps, fx, cabs, mics etc. Well worth the upgrade from the regular Amplitube 5. Thanks again Cory Medina for the great recommendation. Cory Medina is extremely knowledgeable on products and gear.

I've had nothing but problems with this GARBAGE !

I have gone back and forth with IK Multimedia over this product for almost a year now and they haven't done anything about it ! The volume goes to maximum volume or beyond to the point where there's a red dot at the end indicating that the volume is too loud when I switch presets. It sends a very high pitch noise going through my new monitors to the point that they can or are already damaged. My dog runs away because of it, I get an instant headache and can't practice at that point. I have gone back and forth with IK support and send them everything they ask for, videos, pictures, screenshots and the response I get is, I don't understand what you're sending me. How about everything you have asked me to send you. I have never been so disappointed in a product and feel ripped off because they just don't care about their customers once you buy this product. How hard would it be to cancel this product key, and give me a different one ? I have spent weeks and hours changing the volume, saving it, overwrite it, and it keeps the original with the one I saved. It takes probably 15 seconds before I can lower the volume, and by then, I'm done and can't practice because it already hurt my ears being so loud and gives me an instant headache ! Sweetwater support tried having their contact at IK Multimedia take care of it, again, gave me more things to try, sent a video showing the volume going to max or beyond, and they couldn't get any resolution from them and I gave up and deleted the program off of my computer. I would like to know how they ( IK Multimedia ) would like to handle this matter ? It's only been a year and goes to show they don't care how they handle their customers. I wouldn't recommend this product just because of the way they handled this situation ! This is a software issue, not my interface like they wanted to say. I unplugged my interface, no sound, changed presets and showed in a video the volume going to max or beyond. I haven't heard from them since !
