IK Multimedia has "completely redesigned" its popular guitar processing package AmpliTube.
The new software has a new look and sound that should feel comfortable
to guitar players: there's an even bigger bundle of analog-modeled amps
and stomp and rack effects than before with a new, still more-vintage
look. Microphone placement for modeling amp mic-ing is more accurate —
you actually place the mic where you want it go. Vital stats (by my
tally):
- Over 20,000 (!) amp combinations
- 18 Pre-amps, 16 EQs, 5 Power Amp models (Think Fender, Mesa, Marshall, Vox, and the like)
- 16 Cabinets
- 20 analog-modeled stomps on 6+6 slots
- New analog-modeled vintage effects
- New microphone selection (SM57, Electrovoice, Sennheiser, Neumann)
- New routing and syncable effects
AmpliTube has been a big favorite among pro guitarists, so this release
should keep the heat on Native Instruments' rival Guitar Rig.
