Take it To The MAX
Overflowing with 420 gear models expertly engineered for electric guitar and bass, IK Multimedia AmpliTube 5 MAX V2 delivers a stunning array of realistic amplifier, cabinet, stompbox, and effects-rack emulations developed with top brands and artists. In standalone mode, this software can also function as an 8-channel DAW with full recording, looping, editing, mixing, and exporting capabilities. Used in any application such as Pro Tools or Logic, the software allows you to process DI'd guitar and bass through realistic emulations of prized guitar and bass gear, as well as studio microphones and selectable room environments.
AmpliTube 5 MAX V2 is a complete signal chain—an emulated pedalboard, a simulated effects loop, a modeled amplifier, a cabinet stage, and an effects rack—that you are free to set up and tweak however you see fit. Version 5 brings enhancements such as a refreshed cabinet section with new DSP, a custom IR loader/editor, a scalable GUI, advanced configurations and routing, a new mixer, remastered classic gear, and more. The MAX V2 edition comes with 107 amps, 101 cabs, 107 stomps, 48 rack FX, 31 speakers, 18 mics, and 8 rooms.
New to AmpliTube 5
New Cabinet Section with VIR Technology
AmpliTube 5 premieres a reengineered cabinet section with all-new DSP. IK's new Volumetric Impulse Response (VIR) uses 600 IRs per speaker, 1200 IRs for a 2-speaker cab, and 2400 IRs for a 4-speaker cab, capturing a massive 3D array of mic placement options, plus all the interactions between speakers, cabinet, and floor for a completely true-to-life sound.
AmpliTube's movable microphones now truly shine, with an easy-to-use grid that lets you snap to a precise IR point or seamlessly blend between multiple measurements. You can now also import your own IRs and load them into AmpliTube 5 with the option to tilt or resize them, giving you total sonic flexibility.
New Scalable GUI
AmpliTube 5 boasts an all-new fully scalable GUI to adapt to any display size including the latest Retina displays.
Freely Configurable Signal Chain
AmpliTube 5 features a new completely customizable gear chain. Beyond mono and stereo, AmpliTube 5 now supports wet-dry-wet configurations and other advanced series and parallel routing.
The overall chain now supports up to a massive 57 simultaneous models across stomps, racks, amps, and cabs. And setup is a breeze; just drag and drop any model into place to build or reposition even the most complex rigs in seconds.

New Mixer
With the massively expanded signal chain options in AmpliTube 5, you need a better way to mix and record that sound as well. So AmpliTube 5's studio section adds a new mixer window, letting you blend the sound of your cabinets, microphones, and DI signal. With panning, levels, buses, and 23 built-in effects, some derived from T-RackS 5, it's a powerful tool to put a final studio sheen on any track.
New Gear
129 brand-new gear models, including two new stomps, five acclaimed amps, two new rooms, over 100 completely recaptured cabinets, and 23 rack FX derived from T-RackS and redesigned specifically for AmpliTube 5
Remastered Classic Gear
AmpliTube 5 revisits all the original AmpliTube legacy gear, adding not only a fresh look but optimized internal gain structure and superior power-amp-to-speaker interaction to maximize their realism and feel.
Redesigned Custom Shop
Totally redesigned with an updated easy-to-navigate interface, the new Custom Shop now allows multiple purchases, making it easy to get a custom chain at once. Also, more easily sort by gear you own or don't own, unlock preset-specific gear, and more.
