IK Multimedia Announces AmpliTube® Fender 1.1 Software Update Includes new user-requested software features and enhancements
IK Multimedia and Fender Musical Instruments Corporation are pleased to announce the release of AmpliTube® Fender version 1.1, a free downloadable update for all registered users of AmpliTube® Fender. Delivered to satisfy requests from players around the world, this new software update of the hottest guitar and bass tone software has several new models and enhanced functionality.
AmpliTube® Fender is the “Official Fender Software Amplifier and Effects Suite.” Two years in the making, AmpliTube® Fender is the result of intense collaboration between IK Multimedia and the tone guru amplifier and effects team at Fender. Every model was sound-certified and tested by the trained, professional engineers from both IK Multimedia and Fender, ensuring that the sound quality and operation were authentically Fender.
New features in AmpliTube® Fender include the addition of three new user-requested “stompbox” effects and a rack unit:
* A classic stompbox Fender compressor, based on the compressor in the Fender Cyber-Twin® SE, provides a more consistent and higher input signal at the amp input stage, with four available “levels” of compression/gain.
* A new wah pedal, based on the wah effect in the Fender Cyber Twin SE, offers two “wah” voicing options—the “Cryin’” and “McCoy”—and provides detailed control of the amount, effect frequency range and output level of the effect.
* A new Fender tremolo pedal provides that world-famous Fender amp tremolo effect in a convenient stompbox, giving players more front-end flexibility for tone shaping, plus adding the magic of the Fender tremolo to any non-tremolo amp model.
* A new rack unit: The Fender ’63 Reverb Tank allows for post-amplification reverb effects. The reverb unit is based on the famous ’63 spring reverb tank and provides the rich, lush reverb effects Fender is famous for.
These additional stomps and rack effects provide players and engineers with nine Fender stomp effects and seven total rack effects, making AmpliTube® Fender an absolute powerhouse of classic and modern guitar/bass tones and effects. The software update is a free download for all registered users of AmpliTube® Fender full and cross-grade versions, and is currently available for download from the IK User area.
AmpliTube® Fender is available from IK Multimedia retailers worldwide and in the IK online store in two versions:
