IK Multimedia has updated AmpliTube Custom Shop for Mac OS X and Windows to version 3.9, which brings with it a selection of amps and cabs from two top amp manufacturers, and expands the total Custom Shop collection to over 265 individual pieces of gear.

The AmpliTube Custom Shop is a full featured virtual guitar rig application and plug-in for all popular DAWs that allows you to purchase gear one piece at a time, as you need it.

New from Orange

• Orange OR50 head brings back those late '60s and early '70s beefy British-rock crunch tones, yet cleans up nicely with a twist of your guitar's volume knob. It's a 50-watt all-tube model featuring a simple control layout: Preamp Gain, 3-band EQ, HF (high-frequency) Drive, and a Master Volume.
• Orange AD200 Bass Mark III offers straight up bass tone with simple controls and beautifully constructed bass response. The original amp was so good that for years it was the only bass amp Orange manufactured.
• Orange Dual Terror is a dual-channel amp features a "Fat" channel for ultra-warm rhythm and smooth-distorted lead tones, and the "Tiny Terror" channel, which dials in tones from clean to ear-crushing.
• Orange Bass Cabinets include the Orange OBC410, the OBC-115 Single 15", and the OBC-810 8x10".

New to the AmpliTube Club is: Officially certified model of Carvin V3M guitar head, featuring 3-channel operation plus a global master-control section. Channels 1 and 2 are identical "lead" channels, each with a 3-way drive switch, channel volume and 3-band EQ with an EQ "X" control for adjusting the mid-frequency point of the bass and treble controls. Channel 3 is the "clean" channel, with a 3-way drive control and the same EQ setup. The master section controls the overall volume, reverb and Boost levels. The IK model features a selectable power mode with 50W, 22W or 7W options.

Also new is the Carvin 2x12 V3M, the matching cabinet.
