(IK Multimedia | Posted 2005-04-01)
The future of guitar processing. Now.
IK Multimedia is proud to announce AmpliTube® 2.0, a major upgrade to the most highly acclaimed modeling plug-in and the new standard for top quality guitar amps and effects processing. A tremendous advance with completely redesigned software, featuring 20,000 amp combinations, ultra-accurate modeling, extreme flexibility, more stomp and rack effects with authentic vintage character, plus more professional features with ease of use than any other guitar effects processor.
The most “musical” guitar effects sound.
The modeling in AmpliTube® 2 has been gone to another level in many aspects,
keeping its “musical” signature as one of the most important features. The sound
of AmpliTube® 2 is incredibly articulate and appeals to the ears of even the most
demanding guitar players.
20,000 amp combinations: more amps than you can find anywhere.
AmpliTube® 2 now offers more than 20,000 amp combinations with more
exclusive separate Pre-Amp, EQ, Power Amp and Cabinet models that allow the
possibility to mix and match any amp modules and craft virtually any kind of amp
sound! All of this without losing the trademark ease of use AmpliTube® has always
had and quick matching of the most suitable power amp type to the preamp or
cabinet with one click.
Ultra-accurate amp modeling.
AmpliTube® 2 has been designed, in many of its stages, to reproduce the
musicality and ‘live’ behavior of real circuits, with real components, and even age.
Extreme flexibility.
AmpliTube® 2 now has two completely independent signal chains. This means you
can run your sound through two complete rigs including Stomps, Amps, Cabinets
and Studio Effects. It’s like having the ultimate rig with a flexibility most guitarists
have only dreamed of having in hardware.
Amp miking like in a real studio.
AmpliTube® 2 now provides dozens of different real microphone placement options
for the 6 new microphone models offered, to always find the sweetest spot.
More effects with improved flexibility and variety of sounds.
30 effects are now included in AmpliTube® 2, combining accurate models of boxes
from the past with the latest high-end technology. Compressors, Delays, Pitch
Shifters, Octave Divider, Modulation, Reverbs, Rotary Speaker, Fuzz boxes,
Overdrives, Stereo Image processor, Limiter and many more.
Build your own pedalboard of stomp boxes and rack effects.
AmpliTube® 2 now has two completely customizable 6-stompbox pedalboards.
This means that by simply switching a preset you will be able to completely
repatch all of the stompboxes. The same is true for the rack effects, which are
now offered in a 2-chain configuration with 4 programmable effects each, for an
amazing 8 studio effects series.
Unbeatable ease of use.
The AmpliTube® 2 interface has been laid down in the natural way guitarists would
expect their sound rig to be, making AmpliTube® 2 the most user-friendly among
guitar processors. Hundreds of instantly playable presets are ready to go with no
need to spend hours tweaking just to get a great sound.
