Very complete :)

It is very complete and has many effects, amplifiers, etc. to try. I really have a lot of fun making new sounds using it

Great Amp Simulation!

I am a pro musician and AmpliTube 5 is a great tool for me to find new tones for recording and live. I love how there are brands like Mesa/Boogie and Fender. My one complaint is that I wish there was a drop tune pedal. Overall, AmpliTube 5 sounds amazing and I would recommend it to all producers and guitarists.

Almost perfect

After completely migrating to a totally digital guitar rig with the Universal Audio Apollo and Softube Plugins I decided to change to Amplitube 5 with the Axe I/O interface. The Axe I/O is a superb interface, but using Amplitube 5 standalone app with a M1 Macbook was not that pleasing with multiple bugs such as:

• Axe I/O controller software always asking for updates when it was up to date;
• Impossible to open projects directly from project files, must run amplitube in default mode and then open project after saying no to save the current default project I didn't even touch;
• Sometimes when running dual amps the app simply crashed, I would say 30% of times;
• No count in for recording (maybe there is, I just couldn't figure it out);
• Expression control pedals as wah and volume wouldn't get recorded (again, maybe I'm just dumb);
• Effect pedals and racks we're on the avarage side, none of them really stood out, octaves are just bad IMO.
• Very confusing to switch between record mode, looper mode and live mode, as changing between them also changed the whole rig;
• Older legacy amps and effects just can't compete with newer stuff, but everything is mixed up;
• Navigating amp or effects section is not smooth, since the drop down menus won't stay collapsed if you switch menus from amp to pedals for example.
• Only a few wah pedals have auto-off option...

What I did like was the ease of use and sound of the amps, super easy to assign midi controlls including expression pedal connected to the CV input of the AXE I/O. I really liked the Fenders and Orange, didn't really like the high gain amps. The tuner is very good and the cabinet section is just amazing with infinite and simple tweak-ability.

If it weren't for a couple of minor annoyances related with operation with M1 macbook, I think this is a really solid product from IK Multimedia well worth it's price.

I was also disappointed the MAX version didn't include the new X pedals.

The only good thing about this plug is the Mark V.

The only good thing about this plug is the Mark V module. If you set a high shelf cut at about 6000Hz and lower it enough you can dial everything to sound just like how the real amp sounds in the YouTube demos, although you probably want to boost the DI volume by 15+ dB on the way in so it "clips hard" when you see it on the plugin metres themselves. If you manage to do that though, it will fool a couple people if you dial it right, but neither the real thing nor the plugin will give you any miracles. Well maybe the real 90w head if you take enough time to dial it and dial it well enough, but the real amp itself is the litmus test for any and all aspiring engineers, it takes forever and over thousands of retries to get the tone right. If I were to use a Mark V series amp for tones again though, I would much rather figure out a way to buy the real 90w Mark VII amp head instead.

Been using since V3

When I first tried Amplitube (version 2) I walked away unimpressed when comparing it to Peavey's Revalver (3) software. All of the good faith Peavey had built was dashed with Revalver IV, as the ability to pair preamps with different power amps was removed. I began to search for something else to get me where I wanted, and noticed Amplitube had moved to an À la carte format. I loaded it up locked in a tone, and deleted Revalver after about an hour. Solid heavy tones, shimmering cleans, and the added bonus of the Fender, Hendrix and Slash (and others) licenses on top of the ability to test any À la carte offering for three days before buying makes this my primary way to practice at home, where the 2x12 would lead to some angry neighbors.

Regarding version 4: Still does just about everything I could want, especially after upgrading to Max. Dropped a star due to some questionable midi decisions (0out=1in, no tap tempo and some general weirdness when using certain foot controllers), but overall I love it as much as I did when I stopped using Peavey's Revalver software after they stopped letting you pair seperate preamps and poweramps (I guess it isn't even owned by Peavey anymore). The built in looper and multitrack recorder are just icing on the cake.

The Virtual Studio has come of Age.

Software is easy to use but will take time to explore all the options.

I purchased iRig UA was released but didn't care for the app as a portable headphone app that much the amps seemed... meh. I am on an extended stay out of town and wanted to do some recording. The cheapest and low footprint option was Amplitube. I had to buy it because I was a dumbass and covered up the serial # on the UA with Velcro and could have received the basic Amplitube for free.

First impression is WOW!!! I don’t seem to miss my Blackstar amp as much. The amps are realistic and have the sponginess and sag I was missing from the amps in the Amplitube Android App. Then again the Android app was free so you get what you pay for. On the other hand Amplitube 4 well, I didn't expect tube like sound from a program; IMO lifelike and realistic.
The effects are usable and pretty good as well. The sound is much better than any Line 6 product I have used or owned and for a lot less money too.

Interface is impressive from setting up effects loops and effects chain, (Amp options, Rack effects, Speakers, Cabinets, and Mike options).

The Looper or Recording options are great but, haven’t used it much yet….the reason I acquired this. I am having too much fun playing around with the amps. My impression is this is great for the bedroom musician or someone that doesn't have space for much gear to the budget recording studio or a traveling person like myself. Everyone from all walks will like it if not love it. Great substitute for the real thing as long it is not live on stage.

Impressed

Fun easy to use. Tons of options from cabs, mics, speakers, mic placements, rooms, effects and heads. It has everything you need to from guitar to bass.

Good

A lot of different sounds

Analog vs Digital

Extremely versatile! Sounds good, but different than recording a tube amp, which gives a more open sound.

Great for trying out what real amps you might like and all the endless options. I tried the next version of this with Mesa Boogie's Mark III and it sounded amazing. By the time Amplitube 5 comes out, it might be better than the real thing, who knows?

Amplitube should maybe get more credit for being close to as good as a $30,000 recording studio for $300. But at the same time, professional musicians shouldn't substitute it for a real studio anytime soon.

great amp modelling

Using Amplitube with the full bundle recently. Especially the details of amps like the ENGL and Mesa/Boogie is astonishing. Of course not a replacement for a real amp, but really great for taking the guitar and the ipad into the garden and playing along.
