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.
