Product description
IK Multimedias Amplitube has been around for quite a while, and was one of the first computer-based amp simulators. The user interface is very intuitive, and is made to look and work as a real guitar players setup. Included are a metronome and a "speed trainer", which simply works as a MP3/Wav player where You can adjust the speed without detuning the song.
Basically there is four sections that make up a sound: Stomp - pedal simulators Amp - amp simulators Cab - Cabinet simulators Rack - different rack effects, such as reverb, delay, chorus etc.
In addition to this there are two "chains" of the above, that can be run simoultaneously. E.g. You can mix two totally different sound into one - or mix two slightly different sound to get it even beefier.
The software comes with 13 different amp types, most of them based on Fender/Marshall but also solid-state and other tube amps are featured.
The stomp section has simulations of delay's, four different types of distorsion, auto-wah's, filter, eq and a lot more. Nothing seems to be left out here.
For the Cabinet section there are 16 different speaker configurations and 6 different microphone types, whose distance, angle and ambience can be adjusted.
The Rack section is intended for the final touch of the sound and contains Reverb's and delay's as well as EQ, rotary speakers & more.
The installation of the software is easy, and You get into it's functions very fast due to it's logical setup, which it is the best I've seen so far. It works both with VST-hosts and RTAS-hosts (Pro Tools) as well as a standalone product.
