AmpliTube 2 gets a 4.5 out of 5 Stomps with TheStompBox.net
“The modeling quality of AmpliTube 2 is nothing short of fantastic”

Bookmark and Share

The Stompbox.net is a web community and forum with members that crave the latest Stomps, Modelers, Multi-effects, and all around guitar gear. See why TheStompBox.net rated AmpliTube 2 a 4.5 out of 5 Stomps.

"I'm stuffed! My tone hungry palette is finally satiated. It's time for me to step away from this table of plenty and jot down a few notes for those of you who are 'tone-starved', beleaguered by the tone quest, and let you in on my favorite Amp/Effect modeling software."

"I kid you not, once you plug in and get going, you will become a tone-tweakin' glutton with AmpliTube 2!"

"So... 'what's the big deal,' you ask? In a word - TONE, TONE, TONE, and TONE! The modeling quality of AmpliTube is nothing short of fantastic. Each model I've used responds well to picking dynamics, has realistic breakup and has the natural, raw feel of a bona fide amp/cab rig. It's rich sounding with a nice, open clarity in whatever components you're playing through. Roll back the guitar volume and the tones clean up as you would expect. Dig in and compressed crunchy goodness ensues. It's all here."

"I find my favorites to be the "Compressor" pedal, "Overscream" OD pedal, rack "Tube Compressor", and rack "Digital Delay". The layering of effects is, again, rich sounding. You can achieve a wide range of sounds and textures easily with subtle changes of the dials."

"Everything you need to build amazing sounding rigs is right here, in one solid package. There are hundreds of presets/patches - many sound quite good, IMHO - and are logically categorized to make it easy to find a tone that suits just about any mood, genre, or need. These patches become real handy when you decide to start tweaking your own tones. Pull one up, make any adjustments you like, save it, and you're done. Convenience... gotta love it."

"Here's a cool feature... By default, each time you select an amp in AMPLITUBE 2 the appropriate EQ, Poweramp, Cabinet, and Microphone will be selected too. This takes care of any guesswork when you're getting started building your own patches. These default selections make it easy to dial in classic amp tones. Ah, but that's not all... the coolness truly kicks in when you turn the "Match" switches off and start to mix-n-match preamps, EQs, poweramps, cabs, and microphones."

"IK states that you can come up with at least 20,000 combinations for amp tones alone. I believe it. The variety is nearly endless. I could go on and on and on and on about the versatility of AmpliTube. Suffice to say, you'll be able to try just about anything you can think of!"

"I love a lot of things about AmpliTube 2. It makes it easy to plug in and jam away. It makes it simple to experiment and discover new tones I've never considered before. It makes it effortless to set up a dual rig for some massive sound. It makes it possible to get professional studio tone right there in your little (or BIG) DAW studio."

"Now that the StompIO is out, it'll make using AmpliTube 2 in a live setting much more convenient, being able to fully control AmpliTube 2 from the floor!"

"AmpliTube 2 is a superb software-based warehouse of high quality virtual guitar gear. The buffet is open and there's plenty of tone to fulfill the most finicky player."
