Reviews of IK Multimedia Amplitube Amplifier and FX Modeling Software (Macintosh and Windows)
Feature: It has all the basics, not much more than that. If you want features then have a look at Digitech Genesis 3 or V-Amp Pro, they are both cheaper and offers a lot more than Amplitube.
Quality: It locks up way too often when changing patches for example. And like I said earlier the interface is just poor, they have clearly not hired a usability expert for this project. I would not rely on it. I learned to always save my project before messing with it since it can lock up badly.
Value: If it was prices somewhere around $50-$100 it would have been ok, but this thing is just way to pricey considering that unlike hardware, software doesn't cost anything to reproduce. My point is that you can get a V-Amp Pro for $200 and that baby costs a lot more to produce than Amplitube does. Designing and producing hardware is just way more costly than producing software, so the price really doesn't make any sense, and it's defenitely not worth it.
Desirability: No thanks
Sound: The effects are weak. The distortions sounds really bad and metallic. The clean sound is OK but not good compared to Vox Tonelab. I can get a good bass-sound with it though, so that's one use for it.
Overall: Considering the price and the quality it's nothing more that an expensive toy. Unless you are really deperate about getting a plugin amp modeller go out and buy a V-Amp, Pod, Vox Tonelab, Genesis 3 or something, they are all better.
