One of the highlights of IK Multimedia’s Black Friday sale is most definitely the discount on AmpliTube 5 Max, the flagship version of its guitar amp and effect emulation software.
This is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to craft their guitar tone inside a computer, AmpliTube 5 Max includes stomps, amps, cabs, speakers, mics, rooms and rack effects.
In fact, there are more than 400 emulations, including recreations of gear from Fender, Mesa/Boogie and Orange, plus signature setups from legends including Brian May and Joe Satriani. It’s no exaggeration to say that you can create just about any guitar tone you could ever wish for.
Improvements since the previous version include an overhauled GUI, which simplifies navigation and is also scalable, and a revamped signal chain that offers completely flexible drag-and-drop placement of gear in your path.
To go with this, there are five new amp models, two new stompboxes, 19 new rack effects, two room emulations and over 100 brand new cabinets.
Talking of cabs, there’s also the new VIR (Volumetric Impulse Response) technology in the cabinet section, which enables you to tweak 100-plus IRs to your own exact preference thanks to the 143,000 impulse response measurements IK made when capturing them.
What’s more, AmpliTube can now load in cabinet impulse responses, enabling you to make use of your own custom or third-party IRs within your virtual rig.
AmpliTube 5 Max has a regular retail price of $399.00, but right now you can pick the download up for just $99.99 at Guitar Center. This deal is scheduled to end soon, though, so don’t sleep on it.
