Max out your amp modeling with a massive 75% Black Friday discount on this IK Multimedia Tonex and Amplitube 5 software bundle
Get IK Multimedia’s top-flight amp modelers for less with this amazing early Black Friday deal
There are a few key products at the top of the amp modeling game, and IK Multimedia is inarguably home to two of them – both of which you can have for just $99.99, thanks to this huge Black Friday guitar deal.
Whether you’re an at-home noodler or a pro session guitarist, you can’t ignore the truth of amp modeling anymore. Much as we love the mojo imparted by vintage amps and the smell of hot tubes, digital amp sims have gotten indescribably good at capturing that mojo (though maybe not the smell part).
IK Multimedia is effectively bundling its AmpliTube 5 Max v2 and Tonex Max software apps, with a massive limited-time discount that gives you access to literally thousands of powerful patches and excellent emulations.
IK Multimedia’s two amp-modeling software apps reach for different experiences and purposes. AmpliTube 5 is an industry-standard digital sandbox for setting up and playing through virtual rigs, while Tonex uses proprietary machine-learning smarts to create indistinguishable mirror algorithms of specific tones. Both are hugely useful to the active guitarist, and both can now be gotten from IK Multimedia – in their maxed-out form – for what equates to 83% off.
AmpliTube 5 is a hugely detailed sandbox for curating guitar tones. You can select expertly modeled amp heads, choose your ideal cabs, choose which virtual mics to use and where to place them, and stick modeled pedal effects in the chain for good measure. It’s a hugely convenient guitar-tracking solution for bedroom producers, guitarists light on gear and, as it happens, Slash – offering access to more sounds than any studio’s amp room ever could.
Tonex, meanwhile, builds its presets using machine learning; IK Multimedia’s AI Machine Modeling system interprets and recreates real rigs algorithmically, resulting in incredible recreations of specific sounds. Both of these undertakings, together, can be yours for just $99.99, courtesy of a sleek deal from IK Multimedia. Essentially, you buy either software at the discounted price of $99.99, and the other can then be downloaded for free!
Together, these applications represent a comprehensive approach to tone-craft. AmpliTube is your super-powerful studio-sound workhorse, and Tonex is your live-performance behemoth – particularly when paired with either of the Tonex pedals that carry your Tone Models over to your pedalboard.
Better still, the discount is for the maxed-out versions of each software. AmpliTube 5 Max v2 grants access to $1,700 worth of amps, cabs, pedals, microphones, rooms, and more, while Tonex Max opens the door to well over 1000 premium presets.
There’s a big downside to this big discount, though, which might give you some pause before you go ahead and pull the trigger: how on earth will you choose what sounds to try first, with so many at your fingertips?
