The base price is €149.99 at the time of writing, and works its way up from there. I shall not list what is and what is not included in each version as this is likely to change over time as new modules become available. Amplitube 4 comes in a variety of flavours, so have a look at the IK Multimedia website HERE. I shall be comparing some of the Amplitube modelled sounds with the DI output from the Mustang V2, Zoom G3, Cubase's Amp Rack, and additionally for the bass (my first instrument) the DI sounds using Hartke and Trace Elliot amplification.Īlthough it is principally aimed at guitar players, there is a limited range of bass amplifier models available, skewed towards the Ampeg range, along with a classic Orange valve head. I also have some additional Fender models that were provided with a Fender custom version of Amplitube 3 accompanying my Mustang V2 combo. The firewire interface roughly halves the latency compared to my old USB interface, and at double the bit rate. I am using a Saffire Pro 14 through a motherboard firewire card. With a Mac a thunderbolt interface would seem to be the way to go, although I am not familiar with the current Mac range of options. With Windows (I am using Windows 10) you will need an ASIO interface. It is 64 bit only, so dont be tempted if you are still using a 32 bit OS.

On the off chance that you didn't already know, it is stand alone, VST 2 and 3, and AAX 'hyper realistic guitar amp and FX software', now with a built in 4 track looper and basic 8 track audio only DAW in the stand alone version. Amplitube is now in its fourth iteration (hereinafter APT4).
