IK Multimedia has upgraded AmpliTube for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to version 4.0. AmpliTube’s new digital signal processor, based on the same DSP found in AmpliTube 3 Custom Shop for Mac/PC, takes the sound quality up a level. The new “Cab Room” lets users mic cabinets in 3D with up to 2 microphones and IK has released 16 new microphone models that are now available for in-app purchase. In addition, musicians can now expand their sonic creativity with more stompboxes in their rig (up to 6 total) via a drag and drop interface that provides 4 open slots before the amplifier and 2 open slots afterwards. Along with these major updates, the latest version also includes a number of interface upgrades, organizational tweaks and other improvements.
The latest version of AmpliTube allows for more creativity with the ability to create a guitar or bass rig comprised of 6 stompboxes, 1 amp, 1 cabinet and up to 2 freely positionable microphones and then drag and drop their favorite effects into the provided slots. There are now 4 available spaces before the amplifier and 2 post-amplifier.

The Looper also features MIDI assignable controls, so it can be activated from the floor with any Core MIDI compatible controller like IK’s wireless iRig BlueBoard. This is perfect for musicians who want to create their own accompaniment on the fly and also experiment with different melodies, leads and chord progressions.
IK’s AmpliTube for iPhone/iPod touch and AmpliTube for iPad are available now as a complimentary update for existing users or as a paid app for new users for $19.99* — Expandable demo and LE “Light Edition” versions are available for iPhone and iPod touch. An expandable demo version is also available for iPad.

New available expansion features include the 3D Dual Mic Positioning Cab Room ($9.99), 16 Mic Bundle ($9.99, also available individually for $0.99 each), Looper ($9.99) and the All New Features bundle ($19.99), which includes the Dual Mic Positioning “Cab Room”, 16 Mic Bundle and the Looper.
