Signal routing can be just as complex as you want it to be, from a simple chain of stompboxes and a single amp to a wet-dry-wet rig that would take hours to set up in the hardware realm – and let’s not even think about all the cables you’d risk tripping over. You can create multi-amp rigs using up to 57 bits of gear at the same time, and it really does take just seconds to create a completely new signal path by picking out the goodies you want and dragging them to where you want them. New to this version is the ability to load up any speaker cabinet IRs you already own The choice of spaces ranges from dry studio rooms to an extra-vibey garage and even a tiled bathroom (random background toilet-flushing noises not included). Hopping between different amps, effects, cabs and microphones is a simple drag-and-drop process, while you can move mics around, swap out individual speakers and even switch rooms much more easily than would ever be possible in a real studio. This is a superbly well-designed app, with an intuitive user interface that keeps everything simple and lets you focus on the fun part: actually playing. IK has refined its Dynamic Interaction Modelling (DIM) technology to reproduce the exact sound and feel of each piece of equipment, while Volumetric Impulse Response (VIR) tech has captured over 2,400 impulses per speaker cabinet to create a tweakable 3D sonic picture that’s so close to the real thing it’s uncanny.Īnd it’s not just about the sounds themselves. Of course, just as important as the range of sounds on offer is their realism – and here again AmpliTube 5 has the edge, thanks to impeccable attention to detail in the software’s development process. If you’re looking to recreate the tones that defined some of your favourite records, you know you’re in good hands here.ĪmpliTube’s new VIR tech has captured over 2,400 impulses per speaker cabinet to create a tweakable 3D sonic picture

What’s more, many of those sounds have been developed in collaboration with big brands (such as Fender, Orange and Mesa Boogie) and big names (such as Slash, Brian May and Joe Satriani) – the kind of star roster that rival products can only dream of.
