Amplitube 2 Jimi Hendrix RELEASED this month!!!

[AndrewSimon]

Would somebody please answer my newbie question

thanks!

Hey you got to try it for your self.
Personally I do not like GuitarRig it sounds noisy and it feels like I am playing a synth not an amp.
I also don't like the GUI.
AT1 might not be perfect but sounds more real to me and that's why I choose it.
Many will disagree though, that's why you need to try it for your self.

GR2 look like a beefed up GR1.
AT2 is supposedly a brand new code built from the foundation up.
AT1 was the first of such products and it was cutting edge when it came out, therefore I have high hopes for AT2, I just hope I won't be dissapointed.

the sheens come from Martin...

Didn't it come from Charlee? ...Nevermind

Do you know if this was ever stated? Squids mostly hyped the new FX, so originally I was under the impression that they weren't "overhauling" the basic code (and if they did I doubt from the foundation up). I hope they did though....Like all amp software, I think there are a quite a few guitarists waiting to see how much more realistic and responsive it will be than AT1 and that will be the deciding factor for many of us.

Squids?

Squids?

It has to be.
They have new amp simulations like the Mesa Boogie that were not available in AT1.
As far as I understood Squids this is a brand new product built on a brand new engine.That of course does not mean they did not use some elements from AT1.

But yeah, let's hear it from the sea creature.

I think that's making a pretty large assumption that because IK added a new amp model to AT2 that they must have "overhauled" the original AT1 amp modelling. I wouldn't be suprised if they did improve it because I thought it sounded better when I tried it at AES, but I could never tell for sure in that kind of environment.

But we both agree it's a very legitimate question...

Wasn't the 'Modern hi-gain' preamp suppose to model a Mesa Rectifier?

Well if it did then it was pretty lousy.
But you can hear the Mesa sim in the January video and it definately sounds different then the Modern High Gain in AT1.

AT2 uses a completely new modelling technique to AT1. It's not an upgrade of AT1.

Squids is really excited with the effects because there are models of some effects from his own personal collection.

Personally, I'm stoked that I can finally string twelve fuzz boxes in row!

[multree]

so Kimmy you played with it already???

[Kim Lajoie]

I've used an early prototype, but that was a while ago. I'm not a guitar amp buff, so it probably wouldn't mean much for me to talk about the sound quality.

-Kim.

[multree]

fair enough

[Hink]

no offense but what sound quality will be left after 12 fuzz boxes? ...sorry but I didn't like fuzz in the early 70's and I don't like it now...but true OD? That's a different story....

[Stupid American Pig]

Jon brion said it best inThis article

There are so many techniques that put the power in your hands—which, to me, is always a good thing. The more your hands can be the important part of the tonal equation, the more your playing will highlight your particular style of expression. If you string up eight effects in a row, it’s near impossible to hear the personality of the player anymore. In fact, it almost doesn’t matter who the player is, because all the compression and delays and reverbs and multiple distortion boxes make the whole sound totally generic. I don’t want my sound neutered by some chorus pedal that destroys personality—I want people to hear every little pop and click of the strings when I have my fingers on the instrument. So I’d rather construct tones with a weird amp and guitar combination—some tiny ’50s practice amp that’s on the verge of dying, and a guitar that makes a “gwonk” sound because it only has three really dead strings left on it.

[Kim Lajoie]

I agree with you guys. As you can probably guess, I'm not a guitarist. I can play rudimentary guitar, but I don't consider myself a guitarist. I'm interested in AT2 more for extreme sound design.

It is not just AT1 dressed up. It has a new foundation and of course it is evident to anyone that there is a lot more development done on it than AT1. It has many more features, 20 times the amount of amp combinations, new effects, new configuration possibilities... so new code. That said, I am not a coder myself or in the position to give any official answer on that one. However, to me it is clearly in another league. This is even just from seeing the specs on line. Of course, I am fortunate to also use it as well and that experience will also make it that much more clear that it is a whole new plug-in offering a lot more in a many areas.
