![]() ![]() I've played and recorded a few Fender Twin Reverb Reissues and as far as I can tell these models are also amazingly close to the real thing. I've recorded a few bands with the MH-500 Metalhead and although I didn't particularly like that amp then as I found it grating and lifeless, I'd have to say that IK modeled it perfectly, as it has the same sound and response as the original. the Champ and Pro Junior are clean when played soft and barky and semi driven when hit harder. The Bassman sound is just as I remember it - fluid, deep and sparkling. The models respond and play like the real thing and behave very naturally along their whole spectrum of sounds. (similar to the Pro Junior) I'd have to say are very close. ![]() The ones that I am familiar with - the Bassman, the Champ and Blues Jr. As far as sound, I have somewhat limited experience with vintage Fender gear so I am not sure how close exactly they've gotten to some of these amps. I'd have to say that there are plenty of models - everything that is included sounds realistic and has its uses, depending on the styles and musical approach needed. The latency results will vary on different systems and on the load that is put on the host, thus I would usually recommend interested users to check the hardware requirements and download the trial version before purchase, so they can be sure the software runs smoothly on their recording computer. Without any tweaks I achieved 4ms of latency which was virtually seamless and I could start using it off the bat. The software installs a standalone version and a vst/au/rtas plugin version in your default plug-in folder (location can be changed if desired) for use with your DAW app of choice. ![]() IK knows that some studio engineers prefer to keep their machines off the web for safety so they also took into account remote validation where you can register via another machine. The whole thing took less than a few minutes and I was good to go. For those that do not have it, it requires you to register and then enables your software via a challenge/response validation routine. Registration for the software was a breeze as I had already created an account with IK Multimedia. ![]() The AmpliTube X-GEAR and StompIO provides seamless integration with other products of the range, thus letting you mix and match parts from all the rigs available. Like AmpliTube 2 ( reviewed earlier on 5/28/09), The Fender and other AmpliTube packages (Ampeg SVX, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix, AmpliTube Metal and AmpliTube 2 Live) contain the familiar 5 module layout and a standalone version with SpeedTrainer. So what does the IK AmpliTube Fender contain? Davide Barbi, head of development explains that IK went to great length to ensure that according to both IK and Fender, the modelers were as close to the real thing as humanly possible. I remember the official announcement regarding this product and just as many other recording musicians, I have been anxiously waiting to hear the results.Īccording to Shane Nicholas, Senior Marketing Manager, Fender® Guitar Amplifiers, Fender ".made countless suggestions, changes, and tonal tweaks in the same way that we do when we develop the real amps, and many of the same people were involved.". In this release IK Multimedia partnered with Fender to model their amp, effect, cab and mic line. ![]()
