IK Multimedia has now followed up the launch of their iPhone AmpliTube 2 application with the release of a new iPad version. AmpliTube 2 has been designed to “streamline and enhance the mobile guitar and bass playing experience.”
Packing in plenty of features to help transform your iPad into the ultimate guitar and bass multi-effects processor, it also allows you to record your creations and tweak them within the included production studio section.
Comprehensive Guitar and Bass Rig
With AmpliTube for iPad, you have an entire guitar and bass rig at your fingertips, including: 4 stompbox effects running into an amplifier head with effects, plus cabinet and a microphone, 11 built-in stompbox effects (delay, fuzz, overdrive, wah, envelope filter, chorus, flanger, phaser, octave, noise filter + distortion once registered), 5 amps (clean, crunch, lead, metal, bass) with full controls, 5 speaker cabinets and 2 microphones (dynamic and condenser).
The stompbox effects are designed to emulate the classic sounds that guitarists and bassists have come to love. For instance, the delay effect can be used to create echoing sounds reminiscent of vintage tape delays, while the fuzz effect can add a gritty, distorted edge to your tone. The overdrive effect is perfect for achieving that warm, saturated sound often associated with tube amplifiers.
Expandability and Customization
Plus, you can expand your rig a-la-carte with more effects like compressor, reverb, parametric EQ, graphic EQ, and limiter (available as in-app purchases). This suite of effects is also suitable for any other types of instruments and vocals, making AmpliTube a versatile tool for musicians of all kinds. The compressor can help even out the dynamics of your playing, while the reverb can add a sense of space and depth to your sound. The parametric and graphic EQs allow for precise tonal shaping, and the limiter can prevent unwanted peaks in your signal.
Additionally, you can name, save, and recall up to 36 ‘full rig’ tone presets for quick sound sculpting when required. This feature is particularly useful for live performances, where you might need to switch between different sounds quickly. For example, you could have one preset for a clean, jazzy tone, another for a heavy metal distortion, and yet another for a funky, wah-infused sound.
AmpliTube for iPad is now available to purchase from the iTunes App Store for $19.99. This price point makes it an affordable option for musicians looking to enhance their mobile setup without breaking the bank. Considering the wide range of features and the potential for expansion, AmpliTube offers great value for its cost.
In conclusion, AmpliTube 2 for iPad is a powerful and versatile tool for guitarists and bassists. Whether you’re practicing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, this app provides a comprehensive solution for all your tone-shaping needs. With its extensive range of built-in effects, expandable options, and user-friendly interface, AmpliTube 2 is sure to become an essential part of your musical toolkit.
