DISCLAIMER
I was not paid for this video but IK Multimedia supplied me with a licence for the MAX version of Amplitube 5. This does not imapct my opinions in any way.

In this video I will be taking a look at the brand new upgrade for Amplitube. This is Amplitube 5. This is the first major update since v4 came out 5 years ago. IK Multimedia very kindly sent me a licence to check out the latest offering.

The visual engine has been redesigned to make it easier to build rigs. They've added a new drag and drop workflow which makes it easy and fast to add items to your signal chain and move things around.

Along with this visual update, there are 129 new models addded including 100 re-recorded and redesigned cabinet sims. There is over 140,000 impulse response measurements included across these cabs to allow you full freedom to use them with different mics, mic placements, rooms etc.

The flexibility of this software is unbelievable. Check out the free version to get a taste

There is also a huge library of amp models from brands like Fender, Marshall, Orange, Jet City, Engl, Mesa Boogie and more. If that's not enough, there is also a HUGE library of pedals to go with it.

Once you've built your rig, you can use a range of microphones and rooms to craft your perfect guitar space before using one of the many rack units to process your final guitar tone as if you're going into a studio mixing desk.

This is a huge guitar workstation which allows you to dial in any tone you can imagine.

The guitar I am using in the video is my Vola Guitars OZ ROA.

Great demo. I’ve just picked up 5 max v2 for $99 this month (jan 24). Was even better when I checked out, it worked out at £89 here in UK

[cecilrobinson]

Very well done!! Most other YT demos think I need to see their extended playing skills, whereas you play just enough to show the product. You have a new subscriber Leigh. Keep up the good work!

[frankjager]

You are criminally underrated both as a reviewer and a player man. Count me in as a fan of both.

[mingury]

Best video showcasing Amplitube 5 by far. Thank you so much for this.

[YOO-Official]

Such a thorough video, I am very impressed as you go through every tiny details. This little Vola sounds amazing as well. Great stuff I will definitely follow you from now on!!!

[torbenhellborn]

What a fine, fine demo and ditto about you as a guitarist. THANKS a lot

[xathomir]

absolutely amazing demo. it was awesome watching you figure this out as you go and show the user experience! very tempted to pick this software up now

[savajovic]

Thanks, really helped me to decide 🙌🏼

[martingunn]

Hi Leigh, - I normally don’t have the patience for watching YouTube tutorials but I am about to jusmp into Amplitube5 and your session was so engaing and informative I watched it end to end - fantastic, - I have now subscribed, you are a perfect contributor - thanks.

[DaveSteele]

Just got Amplitube 5 this morning. Can't wait to try it out!

[jasonstallworth]

I still have version 3 and at that time, I started using Positive Grid. But I'm thinking of upgrading Amplitube soon. Thanks for the video!

[roasty]

Exactly what I need. I live in a flat and have recently picked up my 20 year old guitar. Realised I couldn't use my amp so was looking for a way to play and record without being a nuisance. This looks perfect. Ordered an interface so will get cracking

[Kazwell]

I just tried A5. I used to love A4, this was worth the wait. Sounds great!! . Each component has a distinct voice you can work on shaping to taste. I don't normally shell out this much on software, but it was worth it.

[TheDistanceDuo]

Bit late to the party here but WOW, that's incredible!!

[vovindequasahi]

Good job with this first look video man, you know your stuff! Hahaha I love how you make variations on a riff from a band but you can hear right away what the song you are doing the variation on is.

[thespacealienssmogandgrog]

Now that's a walkthrough. Amazingly helpful and highly educational too.

[shaman]

Por fin un vídeo donde la guitarra se escucha clara y con dinámica, y se pueden oir los efectos del software claramente. Gracias maestro.

[mikaelhatzis]

Love the way you walk through this. You demystify it. Thanks

[davidoliver]

ahhh now THIS is a review! you find people do videos to review stuff and its always a half arsed attempt and the don't seem that bothered about it but this is a video that is worth watching, I would love to see you do a review of the Brian May pack purely coz im a big fan of his ahaha keep up the great work Leigh

[rastanz]

This is a really good video, clear and to the point without the needless guitar showboating, you demonstrate the perfect amount of detail without trying to sound like a technical know-it-all genius, bias or nit-picky unlike others that I've watched who more or less immediately start flipping off the product straight out of the gate simply because they feel the need to call themselves real amp purists and their video ends up being a whinge fest and pathetic.

After watching your video I think I am sold on purchasing this... btw. it's not very often you get a channel where the owner actual reads through and 'hearts' all the comments. Subbed.

Great playing and thanks for sharing your video.
