• IK Multimedia AmpliTube Brian May: There is no easier, more affordable or more convenient option for the Queen fan to nail Brian May's tones.

ToneNET is a relatively new but fast-growing platform. If you are an AmpliTube 5 user, you can access over 1,500 presets for free. Not all will come with the imprimatur of one of rocks bona fide greats, but when navigating the expansive AmpliTube feature set they do come in handy.

You can check out the Brian May Another World tone presets in the demo video above.

How do they compare? Well, Another World (opens in new tab) is out now via Virgin. For more on AmpliTube 5, head over to IK Multimedia (opens in new tab).
