You get a selection of mic models, too, but I didn't notice anything interestingly new there.
#Amplitube fender access eq pro
You can get close by using, say, a Pro Junior head with a larger cabinet and tweaking, but it would have been nice to see the Hotrod range represented, perhaps at the expense of less widely used models.Īs with other Amplitube releases, there's a range of pedal and other effects, but this time they're classic Fender, with emulations of Fender's Fuzz‑Wah, Tape Echo, 63 Reverb, Phaser, Fender Blender and Volume pedals, and there's a selection of more generic rack gear, including a pitch-shifter, flanger, chorus and compressor (as well as the usual tuner). Inevitably, they've not covered every Fender amp, even in the current range, and I was disappointed to find out that they'd not done a model of, for example, the Hotrod Deluxe, which I see used a lot on stage, and is capable of a bright, brash, spiky sort of sound that I've yet to hear well executed in software. It's an impressive list, but although several of them are truly classic amp designs, I wouldn't agree with IK and Fender that they comprise "12 of the most influential guitar amps of all time”: I'm not sure that the Champion 600, retro-styled as it is, has been around long enough to warrant such a claim, and although it is a nice little amp, it's hardly the classic that the model which inspired it is. There are also 12 cabinet models to complement the amps, and these can of course be mixed and matched. There are 12 models in all: a '59 Bassman LTD, '65 Twin Reverb, '57 Deluxe, '65 Deluxe Reverb, '64 Vibroverb Custom, Vibro‑king Custom, Champion 600, Super Sonic, MH500 Metalhead, Pro Junior, Bassman 300 and TBP1 Bass Preamp. The common thread is that the modelled amps are all current products, although this includes recreations of some real classics. What's On Offer?Īmplitube Fender is certainly impressive in terms of quantity, in that you don't just get the classic Twins, Bassmans and the like: you get an extensive range of models of Fender amps large and small, valve and solid-state.

#Amplitube fender access eq software
So, whether or not you agree with the bold claim about the Fender products that this software sets out to imitate, you'd expect this to be something pretty special. Or, as IK and Fender prefer to put it, this is the first to offer "the world's most influential guitar and bass tones right on your desktop”. However, this is the first software amp modeller to which Fender have given their seal of approval - by which I mean their trademarked name. There's competition in this market from the likes of Peavey, Native Instruments, Digidesign and Softube amongst others, and most of these rival products include models of some of the better-known classic Fender amplifiers. Amplitube Fender ( $229.99 £169.99) is the most recent addition to this stable, and as the name suggests, it models lots of Fender equipment: not only guitar and bass amps, cabs and combos, but also a range of effects and processors. Regular readers will be pretty familiar with IK Multimedia's Amplitube family of guitar‑amp and cabinet emulation programs, and despite the strong competition in this area, they continue to release unique and great‑sounding software.
