Bass amp and cabinet tones in AmpliTube SVX 2

The collection includes the SVX-15N, SVX-4B and SVX-VR amplifiers. Each is paired with a matching cabinet: the SVX-115 (1x15), SVX-212AV (2x12) and SVX-810A (8x10).

IK Multimedia says the models are built with its most advanced modeling technology, aiming for detail and a close match to the feel of the original hardware. The developer also states that the gear has been sound-certified and approved by bassists.

For bass players who want classic amp and cabinet voices inside a DAW, the set covers a range of cabinet sizes from a single 15-inch speaker to a large 8x10 stack.

Using AmpliTube SVX 2 with the Custom Shop

SVX 2 is designed as gear for the AmpliTube Custom Shop. Its amps and cabinets can be used alongside the Custom Shop updates, which the developer says work seamlessly with the collection.

Because no previous AmpliTube version is required, you can run SVX 2 on its own as a bass amp and cabinet effect.

The plugin requires an internet connection to authorize the application and access ToneNET.
