Very good support there.Īlso, like I said.
I had one minor issue in that one of the Fender cabs kept coming up locked, so I couldn't use any of the presets with that particular cab- so I sent IK a tech support email and in less than 24 hours I got a response and the issue is fixed. There are some really great Van Halen type presets in 5, including a more modern VH tone called "Amsterdam". I'm getting so many high end musical harmonic overtones out of Amplitube 5. I'd always sorta thought that Guitar Rig had a nice top end, but was lacking in oomph- whereas Amplitube tones had more body but the top end sounded like a blanket over the speaker.
4 sounds like such garbage now in comparision, I hate to say it. The Fender tones were so much smoother, glassier and things like the spring reverb sounded so real. It was no contest, 5 is light years better than 4. So yesterday I ran both Amplitube 4 and 5 simultaneously and did an A/B test of the Fender Collections- using the same presets in each one. They were a bit grainy, digital and harsh, even the cleanest tones. I wasn't totally happy with the Fender Collections in Amplitube 4. Not only can I hear it coming out of the speakers, but the responsiveness that I FEEL in my fingers- it's so lively now. I gotta say, Amplitube 5 is a MASSIVE step up from 4. (The older ones are still there too- and they sound much better). Now.Amplitube 5 SE is nice but pretty stripped down- UNLESS you already have Amplitube 4 MAX- then every piece of gear you previously owned gets upgraded in Amplitube 5! And with brand new presets.
#GUITAR RIG 5 PRO VS AMPLITUBE 4 UPGRADE#
Well, yesterday I logged into my IK account and was surprised with an early Christmas present- I saw that I had been gifted with a free upgrade to Amplitube 5 SE and CS, since I bought Total Studio 2 Max after October 15th. Total Studio 2 Max was probably the best money I've ever spent, considering how much I got for so little. So I got a good deal on Amplitube 4 Max this summer ($161)- and then in October IK Multimedia was having an insanely good deal on their Total Studio 2 Max, which I got for only about $120 since I'd already bought Amplitube. I bought a couple of the Neural DSP plugins (Nolly and Cory Wong during the Black Friday sale- and I love those, and everything they make).
#GUITAR RIG 5 PRO VS AMPLITUBE 4 TRIAL#
I did a trial of STL Tones' tonehub and it was pretty good, although it wasn't quite what I was looking for. I ended up getting both when they were on sale- I use both for different things-along with a few other plugins like some from Waves. I couldn't decided between Guitar Rig 5 Pro and Amplitube 4- they both had their strengths and weaknesses. This year I was looking for some guitar amp sim plugins.
