"AmpliTube 4 is stacked full of improvements, and upgrading from previous versions is a no-brainer ... almost mind-melting range of options."

Sound on Sound has given AmpliTube 4 a complete and in-depth checkout in their March 2016 issue and were totally impressed! Here some of the key comments from expert reviewer, Craig Hitchings:

"First things first: the user interface has noticeably improved in comparison with AmpliTube 3, and everything is much cleaner and easier to grasp at a glance."

"All of these [Marshall based] models sounded fantastic, reacted to my playing dynamics perfectly and enabled me to sweep from mellow tones to searing leads using only the volume knob on my guitar."

"Most impressive of the new improvements, however, is the redesigned Cab section, which trumps previous versions of AmpliTube in terms of look, sound and its almost mind-melting range of options."

"The Cab section is a top-notch affair: it’s simple enough to set up in a few clicks, but deep enough to encourage users to experiment with mic placement, room sound and so on. Never has it been easier to see and hear what your changes are doing to the sound of your instrument."

"Speakers can be swapped into each of the cabs, including the option to have four different speakers in each cab, should you so desire. At first I thought this would be overkill, but I changed my mind as soon as I heard the difference in sound offered by each speaker."

Craig's final verdict is:

"All in all, AmpliTube 4 is stacked full of improvements, and upgrading from previous versions is a no-brainer ... Guitarists and bassists who want to experience the power of software should look no further."
