Page 12: Chapter 1 What Is Amplitube
What is AmpliTube™ Description AmpliTube™ is an amp modelling and effects plug-in. It gives you the abi- lity to model the complete guitar chain - including stomp boxes, amp model- ling, mic modelling and post effects. Thanks to its separate pre, eq, amp and cabinet models, 1,260 amp combinations can be generated to craft your favourite guitar sound modelled on top vintage and modern gear. - Page 13 2 Amp effects - Tremolo - Spring Reverb The Stomp Module (fig2) includes: 5 Stomp effects models: - Wah-Wah - Chorus - Delay fig. 2 - Flanger - Overdrive The Post FX Module (fig3) includes: 3 Stereo Post effects: - 3 band parametric stereo EQ...

Page 14: Chapter 2 Using Amplitube
Chapter 2 Using AmpliTube™ Connect your guitar to your computer To achieve the best input signal when using AmpliTube™ be sure you have an "instruments input" on your audio card (or a guitar dedicated input - fig. 6). The “instrument input” needs a gain control and commonly is an high impedance input, this means that the pickups of your guitar will find an input that matches that found in guitar amplifiers. -
Page 15: Amplitube™ Signal Path And Effects Chaining
The output signal is always stereo, so it is not possible to open AmpliTube™ as a ‘mono to mono’ plug-in, while it can be opened as a ‘mono to stereo’ or ‘stereo to ste- reo’. -
Page 16: Stomp Module
The sound of the effects is very different if they are applied before or after the Amplifier. In AmpliTube™ you have choice of both the options and the units are spe- fig. 8 cially designed for the “pre” or “post” operation. This “pre” section recrea- tes the sound of some of the classic pedal stomp boxes and it is patched, as for a real guitar setup, before the amplifier. -
Page 17: Post Fx Module
Speakers cabs need to be miked to capture their magical sound both in the studio or onstage. Some miking techniques with different microphones deli- ver various tonal results, that’s why AmpliTube™ has its own internal fig. 15 microphone type and placement section. Thanks to different Mic types and positions (fig. -
Page 18: Presets
AmpliTube™, as these are high precision digital processors used to create exactly the sound the user is searching for, and sometimes this goes beyond the stomps > amp > cabinet system. While the first two sections are entirely modeled after real gear which... -
Page 20: Chapter 3 Stomp Module
This is useful for instantaneously check the sound without all the Stomp boxes in the signal path. Wah-Wah The first stomp box in AmpliTube™ is the wah pedal (fig. 19). It carefully recreates that typical mid-rangey funky sweep of the best vinta- ge units. -
Page 21: Chorus
Chorus After the Delay the signal goes into the analog chorus / vibrato unit. This recreates the deep and articulated tone that only analog chorus boxes can deliver (fig. 21). Click on the “Chorus” big button to engage the effect. The red led shows that the unit is active. - Page 22 Level: sets the output level of the overdrive pedal. By turning this up the amplifier that follows will be overdriven. To get a more amp driven sound use low distortion settings with an high output level. Tone: Controls the timbre of the overdrive pedal. From extra warm at the full counterclockwise position to extra bright and sharp at the fully clockwise position.

Page 23: Chapter 4 Amp Module
This is useful for instantaneously checking the sound without the Amplifier emulation inserted into the signal path. The Amplifier module is the heart of AmpliTube™. Here is where the tone is actually modeled and shaped to be impressively similar to those obtained with very well miked high end amplifiers. - Page 24 Here are some suggestions for making the right choice of preamp type: Solid State Clean: This is the most linear preamplifier of AmpliTube™. Very good for jazz sounds, similar to Fender® combos and the Roland® Jazz Chorus. The frequency response is only slightly shaped.

Page 25: Eq Model
Try anyway to experiment all the other combinations because the sounds you get will always be very interesting. The Preamp and Eq stage has been kept separated in AmpliTube™ just to give much more flexibility to the user, it’s like being able to connect part of fig. -
Page 26: Amp Match
Amp Match AmpliTube™ offers the choice of a number of options for the single stages that an amplifier comprises of, so that you can try to experiment on your own with a huge number of combinations. Even so you have the capability of making things much simpler. -
Page 27: Cabinet Match
Microphone Modeling A good cabinet must be very well miked to get the right sound in the studio or onstage. AmpliTube™ even provides accurate miking that’s not fixed (fig. 33)- you can select some different configurations and placement of the microphone in front of the speakers. -
Page 28: Chapter 5 Post Fx Module
Chapter 5 Post FX Module Parametric Eq This parametric Stereo digital equalizer is the first of the Post FX (fig. 36) modules encountered by the signal. This is a precision stereo digital equa- lizer that it’s used to finely tune the modeled sound after all of the Amplifier simulations. -
Page 29: Stereo Reverb
This is a classic high quality hall reverb that can be found in high quality professional effects units. Very useful for adding space and dimension to the sound, it’s completely different in terms of timbre from the Spring emulation in the AmpliTube™ fig. 42 amplifier stage. -
Page 30: Chapter 6 General Amplitube™ Controls/Display
(fig. 45). It is an ultra fast noise gate that is able to cut the input of AmpliTube™ when the signal is lower than a certain threshold. This eliminates the noise back- ground typical of the guitar pickups / preamp system when the instrument is not playing. -
Page 31: Output Level
(fig. 46), it has a very wide range and has to be used to set the output level of the various AmpliTube™ presets. Depending on how AmpliTube™ is set the level can be quite different at the Post Effect outputs, that’s why this control is very useful. -
