AmpliTube Fender 1.1
IK Multimedia has released v1.1 of AmpliTube Fender, a bass and guitar effects suite. The software simulates a number of the audio components produced by Fender, including amps, pedals and rack units. Found in the v1.1 patch are three new stompbox add-ons, beginning with a stomp compressor based on the Cyber-Twin SE. The gear produces higher input signal at the amp input stage, and can be controlled with four settings for gain and compression.
A new wah pedal is also based on the Cyber-Twin SE, providing two voicings and control of intensity, frequency range and output level. A tremolo pedal, lastly, is based on the Fender Amp circuit, and can be used with any amp normally missing tremolo effects. Outside of stompboxes IK has added a rack unit, modeled after the Fender '63 Reverb Tank. The module supplies post-amp reverb, which like the tremolo pedal can be used to enhance effectless amp options.
AmpliTube Fender costs $230 in full, or $140 in a stripped-down Studio form. The update is a free download.
