What’s Inside

AmpliTube Metal  gives you a massive collection of vintage and modern metal gear. Some say it’s perhaps the most extensive collection of gear around and the envy of most other rival packages. We just think its cool, and here’s what you get:

Amps

AmpliTube Metal features 5 Amp heads, 4 of which feature completely independent configurable preamp, eq and power amp sections. By separating these components, you can also create your own Frankenstein amp by mixing and matching individual sections from each amp… something you would physically never be able to do. It’s like open source amp creation, only in a killer closed system. And it’s incredible… go ahead, try it.

Speakers

The Cabinet section of AmpliTube Metal is perhaps the best cabinet/mic and room module in software today. It allows you to completely define your recording space based upon mic positioning and room acoustics. For the cabinet itself, you can use 2 individual microphones to mic the cabinet, and you can freely position those mics anywhere in front of the speaker, plus adjust the distance from the cone. You can also add room ambience and reflection with the stereo pair of room mics. Flexible? Absolutely. Useful? Let’s just say you may never want to mic cabinets any other way after you’ve used this module.

Stompbox Effects

One of the best kept secrets of AmpliTube Metal? The Stompbox Collection. AmpliTube Metal gives you 14 classic genre-defining stompbox effects based on some of the most popular ever. And you get two fully configurable pedalboards on which to place them. Create massive walls of tonal hysteria with these bad boys… drag and drop them to create different sounds and configurations, then save them as presets. It’s all possible in AmpliTube Metal.

Scalloped Fretboards and Big Hair: These are the Days of our Lives

Metal has come a long way since the 80s, and so has the gear. We’re constantly reworking our models to be on the cutting and bleeding edge of edginess — a dangerous and exciting place to be. With the AmpliTube Custom Shop feature that’s built into AmpliTube Metal, you can get the absolute latest gear models to add to your rig, and do it whenever the inspiration hits you. Imagine this… you turn on your computer before breakfast and buy a Fender Twin for $20 and the Seymour Duncan Shape Shifter pedal for $10. Immediately it's in your signal chain. You record the "missing riff" and email it to the producer. Bam! Just like that you've added to your high-end gear collection, only spent "couch money" on it, and made a royalty — all while still in your pajamas. Wake up… you're not dreaming. Add one piece at a time from today’s top manufacturers of gear like Orange®, Mesa / Boogie®, Soldano®, Jet City®, Fender®, Ampeg®, T-Rex®, Seymour Duncan® and more and more. 

Don’t slur your phrases

AmpliTube Metal is based on IK’s award-winning DSM™ (Dynamic Saturation Modeling) technology. The product of over 12 years of research and development, DSM™ delivers unmatched realism and tone in recreating classic analog gear like guitar amps and stompboxes. Plus, it delivers response. Real life, real world Amp response and feel, just like playing through your live rig. And AmpliTube Metal’s response delivers in grand fashion note articulation and expression that is unmatched in today’s software market, making it truly the voice of your passion.

How it works

AmpliTube Metal is extremely intuitive — so much in fact that you really don’t need an owners manual to operate it. (Don’t worry, we give you one but you probably don’t need it.) Here’s the set-up:

Get Connected

To use AmpliTube Metal as a guitar or bass tone machine, you have to connect your guitar to your computer. You do this with what’s called an “audio interface”. Once connected AmpliTube gives you the exact signal chain you’d use live and/or in studio: tuner —> pedalboards —> amp heads —> speaker cabs —> mics with room effects —> rack effects. Plus, you can configure two complete rigs and run in stereo.

Signal Chain

There are also eight different series/parallel “routing” options available that give you total signal chain control, allowing you to configure tones for every possible playing scenario. You can select different configurations on the fly as you see fit: dual pedal boards running into a single amp head split to two cabs with different mic sets for each running into a single rack with a compressor and graphic eq, just as an example. The combinations are endless.

Speaker, Mic and Room Control

AmpliTube Metal features an incredibly detailed cabinet, microphone and room module that lets you virtually recreate your favorite recording space. You can mic your cabinet with two mics and freely place the mics around the speaker to find the “sweet” spot. You can also control the mix between mic 1 and mic 2, and change the overall “depth” of the cabinet itself. Then, you can control the room reflection and ambience utilizing the room mic positioning tool. All of mic placement options are freely movable (just click and drag), so making adjustments to the room vibe are a breeze.

Presets – The key to live performance

The entire AmpliTube Metal chain can be easily saved, organized and recalled through the advanced built-in preset browser. Presets can be tagged and stored using a series of searchable, user defined keywords and attributes. Plus, the online Preset XChange service allows users to post and share presets they created, with a growing community of AmpliTube users.

Going Mobile

One of the great things about AmpliTube Metal (and all the AmpliTube line for that matter) is its portability factor. Take your Guitar, a StealthPlug or StealthPedal Audio Interface and your laptop loaded with AmpliTube Metal with you anywhere you go. Plus, AmpliTube Metal features a built-in 4-track recorder so you can record and layer riffs and musical ideas anywhere.

AmpliTube Metal works as a Standalone Application for your laptop/desktop machine, and as a VST/RTAS/AU plug-in for most popular DAWs and sequencing applications. And no matter which version you use, your presets are always available with just a click of the mouse, allowing you to recreate complex signal chains and easily reproduce setups and tones.
