IK Multimedia announced the availability of its AmpliTube guitar software as a DirectX (DX) plug-in and as a ProTools 6 MacOSX plug-in. AmpliTube already supports all the other platforms, including RTAS, HTDM, and VST on MacOS and Windows.

AmpliTube plug-in adds a variety sounds to studios and live performances by offering guitar amps, stomp-boxes and post effects in one package. The amp module uses modeling techniques based on the world's most sought-after amps, including Marshall, Fender, Vox, Mesa and many more. Microphone modeling (condenser/dynamic), position and distance are also included.

AmpliTube's friendly format and features offer more than 1260 amp combinations. Plus, AmpliTube is the only simulator that allows you to create amp chemistry by combining models based on a Fender Super Reverb's Pre Amp and EQ with a VOX AC30 Amp AND a Marshall 4x12" cabinet. By using a low latency audio card, AmpliTube can give live performances the big-stack sound and sensation without the heavy lifting.

AmpliTube's 10 analog stomp and rack-style effects give you the tools to create original sounds without plugging in extra gear. All of the classic effects are on board, including Opto-Tremolo and a vintage Spring Reverb. AmpliTube comes with 200 presets, covering all classic amp & guitar sounds (and even bass presets), and more. Presets are fully editable, so you can create original sounds, save them and get them back with a single click. Dozens of additional presets available direct from IK's Web site for free.
