Hands down, the new method of cab sim and user interface for it are big improvements.īelow are the clips – you’ll definitely hear differences in the models! I think IKMM’s technological evolution is pretty well on display. Of course the Amplitube 4 cab sim is considerably more flexible now than it was in the Amplitube 2/ X-Gear product era, so it is possible that a different tone could come from the all-original setup, but I’m not going to track down my old installation files to cook up a throwback installation just to see. I used the same mic models and the same mic model positioning on each, with each Champ’s matching cabinet model.

I recorded one DI track and ran it through each Champ model in Amplitube, with the volume cranked. To get an idea of how things have progressed since 2009, I figured y’all might enjoy some comparison clips. You can get it now from the Custom Shop or in the Amplitube Max bundle, as well as its matching 1×8 cabinet. It’s enjoyable, responsive and barks when you crank it, but it’s not the classic sweet, worn-in sound.įender did reissue the ’57 Champ once and IK Multimedia modeled it through their officially certified model process – it represents a point somewhere between the Champ 600 and the Custom ’57 Champ in terms of modeling sophistication, having come out in the Amplitube 3.5 era. When I first got the chance to try Amplitube Fender (2009) (shout out to my former editor Will Chen at FrugalGuitarist!) something that really knocked me out was how accurate I felt its Champ 600 model was – I happened to have a Champ 600 as a practice amp at the time, and it was really close in sound and feel! But anyone who has played it knows it isn’t exactly the same as the classic Fender Champ sound. IK Multimedia (hereafter IKMM) has a history with Fender that at this point has produced a plethora of digital models of classic and modern Fender gear.

Read on! Read the rest of this entry » This time, the two companies have focused their efforts away from effects and other accoutrements and toward bringing out a killer collection of amps and matching cabinets, modeled as accurately as possible using their most recent technological advancements. There have been a number of modeling advancements in IK Multimedia’s Amplitube software since 2009, and after buying the MESA/Boogie pack last year and experiencing many of the improvements brought by IK Multimedia’s time and effort, I was excited when I read about a new collaboration between Fender and IK. It was a big step forward in quality and realism for IKMM, and was my go-to for demos for years thanks to how well the models worked with pedals and other gear. When it came out in 2009, it sounded great. They had already done products with THD Electronics and Ampeg, but I remember how big of a deal it was at the time back in 2008 that Fender was on board for then-upcoming Amplitube Fender. They were pioneers in working with amp makers to offer products that carry the official brand of the amp they’re modeling and the manufacturer’s approval. IK Multimedia has a long history in amp modeling.
