Hyper Realistic Tone

Get ready to have your mind (and ears) blown. AmpliTube 4, a major upgrade to the world’s most powerful guitar and bass tone studio for Mac/PC, is here and will take you to a level of hyper-realism and customization of tone you never knew possible.

3_GUI

AmpliTube 4 is a guitar and bass tone studio for Mac/PC that works as a standalone application and as a plug-in for your favorite DAW. AmpliTube recreates the entire guitar/bass signal chain from instrument to recording device, and does so in a very realistic and intuitive way. But it also does it in ways you never dreamed possible. If you’re new to using computers to get fabulous guitar tone, then you’re in for a treat. If you’re a veteran computer tone-master, well, you’re still in for a treat. AmpliTube pioneered — and leads the way in — guitar amp and effects modeling, and AmpliTube 4 takes it to the outer edges of extreme hyper realism with intuitive familiar tools. Fasten your seat belt… let’s take a quick tour!

New Hyper-realistic cab room

AmpliTube has always been about realism, and now that extreme commitment to accuracy is a part of its completely redesigned cabinet section. The new Cab Room feature is the most advanced cabinet section ever made, giving you a new level of customization and flexibility never before seen in software or reality.

The cab room now has 5 distinct customization sections: cabinet selection with size adjustment where players can choose the speaker cabinet they’d like to match to the amplifier, individual speaker selection where they can swap out individual speakers, mic selection and placement for finding the speaker “sweet spot”, room selection where players select the surrounding recording environment, and a mixer section that allows players to mix the levels of speaker mics, room ambience, direct amp signal and overall main mix. Never before has such a level of control and customization been available for fine-tuning tones from the speaker section. For starters, the cab room is just that — a 3-dimensional speaker cabinet recording space that can be changed depending upon the desired “room” type and effect. Players can choose from a range of room types, from a cavernous “garage” to a full on cabinet “dead” room, and mix the room effect and color into the overall sound.

Now you can mic up your cabinet with up to two microphones in a full 3D space. AmpliTube 4 comes with 3 microphone, with an additional 15 highly coveted recording microphone models available in the Custom Shop providing a truly hyper-realistic sound capturing environment. The room microphones can also be chosen from the available mics. This, coupled with its swappable speakers, allows for true cabinet miking with full speaker interaction — a digital first. Add in things like room ambience control, a new mixer for the cab section and gorgeous new graphics, and it’s easy to see that the new Cab Section is poised to revolutionize the way guitarists, bass players and other musicians utilize virtual cabinets in their music.

Individual Speaker Selection

Now you can swap out individual speakers in your favorite cabinets at will, allowing for creative speaker combinations utilizing the many precision-modeled speakers available. The AmpliTube 4 speaker cabinet section not only accurately reproduces the tonal characteristics of the individual speakers, but also accurately picks up the harmonic interactions between the individual speaker models, the cabinet construction and the room, making it the most realistic speaker cabinet emulation available.

British Amps!

AmpliTube 4 welcomes 5 new classic amplifier models to the mix representing some of the best British tones from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Each amplifier has been modeled from scratch to embody a different aspect of powerfully classic British amplifier design: There’s the Brit 8000, Brit 9000, Red Pig, Brit Silver and Brit Valve-Pre. All of these new amplifiers have been created utilizing the same methods and patented technologies that have made the AmpliTube brand name synonymous with world-class sound, hyper-realistic tone and extreme accuracy.

at4-plugin-amp-red-pig

These models also bring a new level of realism and sonic accuracy through a new technology that precisely replicates the dynamic interaction between the power amp and the speakers, thus eliminating the “harshness” typically found in the upper frequencies of other software and adding another level of dynamic response and hyper-real feel.

Acoustic Simulator

AmpliTube 4 is all about exploring new tonal possibilities and its new “Acoustic Sim” model pedal turns the electric guitar into a hyper-realistic acoustic. It delivers stunning realism and an amazing playing experience that can be tweaked with the onboard controls. Players can choose from and blend 3 acoustic body styles and 3 types of top material to sound like a full range of popular acoustic guitars. Now guitarists with AmpliTube 4 will always have at their disposal great acoustic sounds.

Creative connections and effects placement

New to the signal path in AmpliTube 4 is an effects “loop” insert slot situated between the preamp and power amp sections and can accommodate up to 4 daisy-chained rack or stomp effects.

at4-plugin-insert-loopfx

In addition to the new effects loop, most stomp or rack effects can now be placed into the effects slot. This means that most stomp boxes can be used in the post “rack” section, and rack effects can be used in any stompbox slot — on any pedalboard or in the effects loop section. This opens the door for even more for creative tweaking and innovative sonic sculpting possibilities.

8-Track Recorder/DAW under the hood

When used in standalone mode, AmpliTube 4 features a built-in 8-track DAW that makes recording ideas and songs a breeze. Its powerful sequencer-like waveform editing should be immediately familiar to you, making it easy to use it as a sketchpad for new ideas or as a full-featured recording solution on its own.

Each track features standard treble, mid and bass eq, pan control, level, mute, solo and record enable functions, plus there’s an FX enable button allowing for application of different tone configurations to individual tracks. As a learning tool, you can import any audio tracks into the DAW section, define loop points and use AmpliTube’s built-in Speed control to slow down difficult passages without affecting pitch, and use the Pitch control to change keys without affecting speed. This feature is perfect for working out difficult solos or practicing different leads or melodies over a series of chord changes in a backing track.

at4-standalone-rec-daw

A truly super looper

Rounding out AmpliTube 4’s new feature set is a MIDI controllable 4-track looper. Dubbed the Super Looper, it’s a full-featured intuitive 4-part looper that you can use to lay down multi-part backing tracks with speed and ease, then practice leads, chords and melodies over the top. Each track has an individual level and pan control so you can adjust them in the “mix” to suit your needs. You can activate each track with the click of the mouse, or use a MIDI foot controller like the iRig BlueBoard to activate/deactivate tracks. The looper audio can be exported to the hard drive of your computer, then imported into the AmpliTube DAW section, or your favorite sequencer. Audio backing material can be imported into the first loop channel for continuous play.

UltraTuner

Also stock in AmpliTube 4 is an upgraded tuner section with IK’s patented UltraTuner technology — the most precise digital tuner available with tuning accuracy to 1/100th of a cent. It’s the essential piece of gear that will always make you sound good!

How it works

Chances are, you already know how it works. We designed AmpliTube 4 to be so hyper-familiar and hyper-intuitive in its operation that you don’t really need a manual or an engineering degree to operate it (we do, however provide a manual, just not an engineering degree). Here’s how it works…

Get connected

To use AmpliTube as a tone machine for guitar or bass, you have to connect your guitar to your computer. You do this with what’s called an “audio interface” (we make some really good ones, click here to check them out). Once connected AmpliTube gives you the exact signal chain you’d use live and/or in studio: tuner —> pedalboards —> amp head preamp —> effects loop —> power amp —> speaker cabs —> mics with room effects —> rack effects. Plus, you can configure two complete rigs and run in stereo.

at4-rig

Signal chain

There are also eight different series/parallel “routing” options available that give you total signal chain control, allowing you to configure tones for every possible playing scenario. You can select and customize different configurations on the fly as you see fit: dual pedal boards running into a single amp head split to two cabs, with different mic sets for each, running into a single rack with a compressor and graphic eq, just as an example. Run a full stereo rig with different amp setups… the combinations are endless.

Presets

The key to live performance

The entire AmpliTube chain can be easily saved, organized and recalled through the advanced built-in preset browser. Presets can be tagged and stored using a series of searchable, user-defined keywords and attributes.

You can save presets for a single piece of gear, or for a complete signal chain.

at4-plugin-preset

Control yourself

AmpliTube offers deep, easy to edit integration with a range of controllers.

Connect iRig Stomp I/O, IK’s revolutionary USB pedalboard controller and audio interface that lets you stomp effects, change presets, adjust settings and more, all with the feel of a traditional pedalboard.

Or connect iRig BlueBoard and enjoy editable, wireless control over presets and effects.

AmpliTube is also MIDI compatible so IK’s MIDI interfaces (like iRig MIDI 2) let you connect external controllers and associate patches or parameters with just a few taps.

irigstompio_foot_top

High-resolution sound

AmpliTube can work as a 64-bit plug-in for the most popular DAW (such as Pro Tools, Logic, GarageBand, Cubase, Live, Reaper) or can be used in stand-alone mode in Mac OS X and Windows. The plug-in and standalone versions offer the same function and sound, but the standalone version also offers a built-in 8-track recorder and DAW, plus a 4-track looper so you can capture your ideas at the moment of inspiration. Both the standalone and plug-in versions are included when you install AmpliTube. Rock On!

Infinitely expandable

AmpliTube 4 comes with the built-in Custom Shop gear store feature that allows you to add gear to your collections any time a-la-carte or via collections.

New British models

AmpliTube 4 welcomes 5 new classic amplifier models to the mix representing some of the best British tones from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Each amplifier has been modeled from scratch to embody a different aspect of powerfully classic British amplifier design. There’s the Brit 8000 (based on the JCM800), Brit 9000 (based on the JCM900), Red Pig (based on the Marshall Major), Brit Silver (based on the Silver Jubilee) and Brit Valve-Pre (based on the JMP-1).

Brit 8000

The new Brit 8000 is based upon the early 80s JCM800, the amp that although most think of the Plexi’s as the defining tone of a pushed Marshall, in reality it’s the JCM800 that people are hearing. The JCM800 was the first departure from the Plexi format designed for players who desired a “hotter” front end and more control over the overall output volume. The result? More preamp overdrive and crunch at controllable volumes. The Brit 8000 comes with matching cabinet 4x12” Brit 8000 which is based on Marshall® 1960 Lead Vintage 4x12 slanted cabinet loaded with G12-80 speakers.

Brit 9000

The new Brit 9000 is based upon the early 90s introduction of the “evolution” of the JCM 800, the JCM900. This dual channel, dual reverb head was designed for versatility with channel 1 voiced from clean to low level lead gain when cranked, and channel 2 voiced with enough gain to provide fearsome lead tones at low gain to screaming solo tones at high gain. The Brit 9000 comes with matching cabinet 4x12” Brit 9000 which is based on Marshall® 1960A Lead Vintage 4x12 slanted cabinet loaded with T75 speakers.

Red Pig

This gem from the 60s is based on the Marshall Major 200 “Pig” (as it was nicknamed) made famous by players like Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Joe Perry and at times Stevie Ray Vaughan. It was originally produced for players who needed more stage volume and sported a full 200 watts powered by KT88 power tubes. Nicknamed “the Pig” because it was a full 3” deeper than Marshalls of the day to accommodate the larger transformers, it quickly became the favorite of larger venue players. The Red Pig comes with matching cabinet 4x12” Red Pig which is based on Marshall® Major 4x12 slanted cabinet loaded with T75 speakers.

Brit Silver

Based on the 1987 Marshall Silver Jubilee commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Marshall company, the Brit Silver features the 3-gain mode of the preamp circuit “clean”, Rhythm Clip and Lead. The Silver Jubilee was also the first Marshall to feature an output power section that could be switched from full to 1/2 power, thus providing that JCM800 tone at reasonable volumes. The Brit Silver faithfully recreates the original Silver Jubilee down to every minute detail for hyper-real authentic Marshall tone. The Brit Silver comes with matching cabinet 4x12” Brit Silver and is Based on Marshall® 2551A 4x12 slanted cabinet loaded with T75 speakers.

Brit Valve Pre

Rounding out the new Brit series of amps is a preamp model based on the Marshall JMP-1 valve preamp. The JMP-1 was Marshall’s first foray into the world of MIDI control with Marshall tone. It allows players to sculpt the tones they want, then save those tone presets for recall by MIDI control at any time. It's one of the most simple preamps, very straight forward. It has the staple Marshall controls like Volume, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence. It features a bass shift, 2 overdrive channels, and 2 clean channels. For its ease of use and its “ready to go” sound character, it quickly became one of the most iconic Guitar preamps of the era. Almost 90% of the pro players at the time had a JMP-1 in their rack of toys. The Brit Valve-Pre comes with matching cabinet 4x12” Brit 30 and is based on Marshall® 1960A Lead Vintage 4x12 slanted cabinet loaded with V30 speakers.

Double Dynamic 57

AmpliTube 4 includes the Double Dynamic 57, a special mic setup based on a pair of Shure SM57 microphones. It can even be found in a typical setup used in the most sought after recording studios. It is made up of not one but two dynamic mics, one pointing straight and the other angled at 45 degrees. The phasing phenomenon generated by this setup produces pleasing high-frequency cuts, enhancing the boldness of the sound.

Effects Loop

New in AmpliTube 4 is an additional slot in the signal chain right after the amplifier pre-amp section but before the power stage. Most of you will recognize this slot as the effects loop or insert and it allows you to add in up to 4 daisy chained effects for signal processing before hitting
the power section.

Effects Loop

But that’s not the coolest addition to the signal chain… now you use many of the stompbox and rack effects in ANY of the effects slots. Thanks to an innovative visualization feature and flexible routing options, you can now stick your favorite stompbox into the post-cabinet rack section or in the effects loop rack, or swap your favorite rack effects for a slot on the pedalboard. It’s a feature we’ve always dreamed of and now all our dreams have come true!

This amazing stomp box reproduces the hypnotic, pulsing tremolo sound characteristic of ‘50s tube amps. It can also produce crazy and innovative tones never heard before. With its detailed "Wave" and "Shape" controls, it is one of the most versatile tremolo stomp boxes available.
The Wave control shapes the tremolo effect from a smooth sine wave to a sharper triangle wave to the abrupt “on/off effect” of a square wave. The Shape control sets the rise and fall time of the tremolo (how fast or slow the volume increases and decreases). This adds some very different variations to the tremolo effect: with a quick swell and a slow drop, the effect is percussive like a piano. Conversely, with a slow swell and a sudden drop, the result is reminiscent of a tape played backwards.

It features a dual gain stage mode: it can act as a mild overdrive to push the following amp into distortion, or via the "Boost" switch it can generate a thick amount of distortion on its own. The "Tone" knob covers the overall brightness of the distortion, while the "Contour" knob takes care of the critical midrange, allowing to scoop mids out or push them forward according tho the rhythm or lead duties it's called to serve.

The Essential Cab Room

Hyper-realistic cab room

AmpliTube has always been about realism, and now that extreme commitment to accuracy is a part of its completely redesigned cabinet section. The new Cab Room feature is the most advanced cabinet section ever made, giving you a new level of customization and flexibility never before seen in software or reality. The cab room now has 5 distinct customization sections: cabinet selection with size adjustment where you can choose the speaker cabinet you’d like to match to the amplifier, individual speaker selection where you can swap out individual speakers, mic selection and placement for finding the speaker “sweet spot”, room selection where you select the recording environment, and a mixer section that allows you to control and mix the levels of speaker mics, room ambience, direct amp signal and overall main mix. Never before has such a level of control and customization been available for fine-tuning tones from the speaker section.

3D Speaker Cabinet Selection

AmpliTube 4 ushers in some amazing control features when it comes to fine-tuning and tone sculpting one of the most important components in the signal chain: the speaker cabinet. First, it lets you mix and match speaker cabinets with the amplifier you’re using. Choose the cabinet that’s most commonly used with the amplifier, or select a completely different cabinet from all of the available models. This allows you to do some things you simply can’t do in the physical world — break up combos and use the individual cabinets from them. Plus you can use any available cabinet with any amplifier — impedance matching in AmpliTube 4 is automatic so you never have to worry about blowing up your power amp! Pretty sweet.

Individual Speaker Selection

Want to hear what a Vintage 30 sounds like next to a Greenback? No need to get the drill and soldering iron out, AmpliTube 4 lets you swap out individual speakers with the click of a button! AmpliTube 4 comes with 29 precisely modeled speaker emulations of some of the most popular speakers in cabinets today, with more available in the AmpliTube Custom shop. Now you can experiment with different speaker combinations to sculpt that perfect cabinet sound, all in the convenience of your personal recording space. But what makes the new cab room even more realistic is the fact that it not only picks up the tonal character of the individual speakers, but it replicates the harmonic and physical interaction that occurs naturally between the speakers giving you the most realistic sounding environment available. In short, you can go hyper — hyper real with mic’ing up a cabinet!

Mic Selection and Placement

Imagine having access to 18 of the most coveted recording microphones of all time. Now imagine being able to choose and place those mics exactly where you want them — right in the “sweet spot” that truly evokes the range and emotion you want to express. Now you can. AmpliTube 4 comes with 3 highly coveted recording microphones and there are an additional 15 mics available in the AmpliTube Custom Shop. AmpliTube 4 gives you the choices and ability to go hyper-real with your mic placement. And AmpliTube 4 not only picks up on the tonal characteristics of the individual speakers, but it actually picks up the physical and harmonic interaction between the individual speakers, surrounding cabinet and space between the speakers and mics. With AmpliTube 4, you’ll quickly realize what you’ve been missing with other amp sims.

Recording Room Selection

Want to record in the garage? How about in a hardwood studio room with a rug? A cabinet isolation room? With AmpliTube 4, now you can. The Recording Room selection tab lets you choose from 6 different ambient recording spaces. Choose from a big live room, venue stage, two studio rooms, an isolation booth or a garage. You can also select which pair of room mics you want use and then dial in the amount of stereo room ambience to your liking. The Recording Room selection adds a completely new level of hyper-realism to your guitar tone.

Mixing it all together

AmpliTube 4 now has a dedicated mixing environment for the speaker cab room. Now you can custom mix all of the audio components in one easy to use mixer — speaker mics, room mics, direct amp signal (that’s right… you can even blend a little DI into the mix!) and control the entire volume level with a master fader. Never before has it been so easy to get hyper-real!

8-Track Recorder/DAW

AmpliTube works seamlessly with your favorite DAW as a plug-in, comfortably playing well with other plugs in the mix. But what if you don’t want to fire up the giant recording beast just to get a few ideas down quickly? Well, you’re in luck. AmpliTube 4 also operates as a standalone guitar & bass tone studio AND idea capturing 8 track recorder and DAW. This means several things… First, you can just hit record and start wailing as the tone inspires you. The quickest way from brain to ears is the push of one button and WHAM — there’s your phrase in all its splendor. Need to add a layer? Bass? Drone riff? No worries, you’ve got a full 8 tracks of space. And with the new DAW section, you can do some other pretty nifty tricks.

at4-standalone-rec-daw

Split, Cut, Copy, Paste

Manipulating audio in the DAW couldn’t be easier nor more intuitive. Audio waveforms accurately represent your recordings for precise editing. Each track features your standard treble, mid and bass eq, pan control, level, mute, solo and record enable functions, plus there’s an FX enable button allowing for application of different tone chain configurations to individual tracks. Add a crunch rhythm to track 1, clean shimmering chunk chords to track 2, layer overdrive and heavy tones on 3 & 4… anything is possible in AmpliTube!

Loop

As a learning tool, you can import any audio tracks into the DAW section, define loop points and use the built-in Speed control to slow down difficult passages without affecting pitch, and use the Pitch control to change keys without affecting speed. This feature is perfect for working out difficult solos or practicing different leads or melodies over a series of chord changes in a backing track. Want to hear a passage at a different tempo or pitch? Simply use the speed & pitch controls to adjust.
AmpliTube 4’s DAW can do it all!

Export

AmpliTube 4 lets you export your masterpieces however you see fit… as individual tracks or as one master file for mastering — the choice is yours. And you can export in a variety of file formats to suit your needs, .wav, .mp3,. .aif and more.

4-Track Looper

Speaking of Loops, AmpliTube 4 now sports an intuitive 4-track looper that’s an improvisationalist’s (is that even a word?) dream come true. No more outboard gear for looping and practice… it’s all built in! The 4-Track Super Looper may look simple, but in hyper-reality (just like everything in AmpliTube 4) there is some pretty powerful stuff working under the hood.

at4-standalone-looper-amp-red-pig

4 Looping Tracks

The first thing you’ll notice about the looper is you have 4 tracks. The cool thing about these is that there’s really no limit to how long you make your loops. Recording time is limited only by the amount of disk space you have on your computer. However, the loop length for loops 2, 3 & 4 are set by the start & stop recording time for track 1. Just makes sense. Each track has an individual level and pan control so you can adjust them in the “mix” to suit your needs. You can activate each track with the click of the mouse, or use a MIDI foot controller like the iRig BlueBoard to activate/deactivate tracks.

Click Track

You’ll notice a metronome icon at the bottom of the window. Here you can activate a click track for the looper and set your tempo. Once activated, the click track gives you a 4 count “count-in” and you’re ready to make your next hit phrase.

Import/Export

The 4-Track Looper also lets you export your loops, reopen into the built-in DAW, or import them into other sequencers. The Super Looper lets you do amazing, hyper-realistic things inside the world of AmpliTube 4.
