AmpliTube Fender Collection 2 is an amp simulator plugin from IK Multimedia that adds seven Fender amplifier models and matching speaker cabinets to the AmpliTube platform, covering 1950s and 1960s designs.
Fender Collection 2 for AmpliTube focuses on classic Fender tube amps and reissues from the 1950s and 1960s. It includes the '57 Custom series, a 1953 Bassman and a 1965 Super Reverb, each paired with a matching cabinet. IK Multimedia says the models are certified and approved by Fender, and the collection works with the AmpliTube Custom Shop. It is built for producers who want vintage Fender character in a software rig on Windows or macOS.
The collection covers the '57 Custom series, including the '57 Custom Deluxe, Champ, Pro, Twin-Amp and Bandmaster, along with the 1953 Bassman and the 1965 Super Reverb. Each amp is paired with a matching cabinet, from a 1x8 Champ cab to a 4x10 Super Reverb cab.
The set spans the tweed and blackface eras of Fender tube amplification. The amps are modeled for guitar and bass, which makes the collection useful for both instruments.
IK Multimedia highlights its DIM technology as the key to the collection's realism and says every aspect of each amp can be adjusted to find the tone you want.
The plugin runs in VST3, AU and AAX formats on 64-bit hosts. A working internet connection is needed to authorize the application and access ToneNET. No earlier version of AmpliTube is required.
