Bookmark and Share

Computer Music really get to grip with AmpliTube Metal in their August 2008 issue. Here are some of their excellent comments:

"the 150W model – based on the Peavey 5150 – is the real treat. It delivers an aggressive tone that's definitely the most gain-happy of the lot and will satiate fans of modern metal."

"You can also run two setups in parallel, in various routing configurations, leading to some monster sounds and thick, stereo tones."

"notable...is the excellent Tube Compressor which does a great job of adding extra beef to the already chunky tones."

"another favourite of ours is the Harmonator...it has a lo-fi sound that we can't help but love."

"The Feed Distortion unit deserves a special mention, too, as it generates an endless stream of feedback – something that's difficult to produce in a software-only setup."

"Overall, the plethora of distortion and overdrive boxes gives you further scope for crafting a crushing sound, and the flangers and phasers are handy, too."

"If you're an AmpliTube 2/Hendrix Edition user... in conjunction with the free X-GEAR 'shell'... [this] will give you an unrivalled range of guitar tones."

and their verdict?...

"IK has done a great job of providing a bespoke plug-in for those in search of megawatts of hard, drivin' distorted tones"

Computer Music gave AmpliTube Metal their coveted Innovation AND Performance awards, together with a 9 out of 10 review score.

FOR

+ High-gain heaven
