dc12, www.amplitube.com , let the intro play. There is some rock song that plays at the beginning. One would assume that they used AT2 on the guitars

500$ for the MSRP?! And we thought waves was overpriced! 299$ I can understand, but 500$?!! Too much IMHO.

Or as an alternative for about the same $500, check out some of these real amp combos.

I am all for real tube amp combos but that is not apples and apples with 20,000 amp combinations and a virtual Bradshaw pedal rig is it?

But both are good!

Lets hope the amp emulations are more authentic than the set of hooters.

Amplitube is an emulation of a real amp.

You can have 50 billion combinations, it's still not the same thing as the original. Good maybe, the same no.

I see that they have a free upgrade to Amplitube2 for those who buy Amplitube 1 now... I need heavy metal guitars mostly... and amplitube 1 could never do anything for me. Should i bite and purchase amplitube 1, or wait and spend twice the ammount ? I dont think they ave sound demos...

LOL@Plexi!

Squids, do you know if the release date has been yet scheduled further down the road?
do you know if there is any distortion pedal?
Do you know if they will use iLok?
( and last but not least ) do you know if that Hardware Interface comes with the AT2? ( for 500$ I sure hope so

)

Sorry if this feels like an interrogation......Thanks!

Improv,

You realize that the majority of those combos on your list are not tube, I assume?

Most of them are ALSO emulations, but in hardware form. Which is great and all, but since I record more than I 'perform' (and even use the computer just for practicing and jamming around), the flexibility offered by Amplitube2 and its hardware component are about a zillion times the value of some of the amps listed there.

Those Line6 Amps, for example, are just PODXT guts inside an admittedly good speaker cab.

If Amplitube2 lives up to the sonic hype, it'll be worth the $500 twenty times over. On the other hand, I simply don't have $500 anyhow, so I'll still be using what I'm already using.

The 'free upgrade' is for a version without the hardware controller. Which is all fine and dandy, but it's not exactly "half price" when you look at it that way.

LM, are you sure of that?

That was my point as well. It's apples and oranges. For the single amp I'd rather have the real thing (like a Vox AC30) although even then I think I'd still want to have a plug-in that can do it for a variety of reasons (one of them even being that when you crank the real amp to 11 your neighbors want to call the cops

). But, of course, unless you are Aspen Pittman you likely don't have thousands of amps at your disposal plus everything else in AT2 so from that standpoint it is a completely different animal.

But, you and I are not arguing. I agree, except that I am more excited about AT2. Well, for one thing, guitar amps have been around for over 60 years and something on the scope of AmpliTube 2 has never existed before.
