The download size is 2.4gb – this is everything available within AmpliTube 5, so even if you just want to try the free to AmpliTube 4 owners 'Custom Shop' version you have to download the whole lot (MAX).I have not had that issue with my laptop installation, perhaps because my laptop has a 1080p display.

There are reports of incompatibility issues, particularly with laptops where it seems many users can't get it to start.* I suspect this had been released to meet a deadline before it was entirely ready.

Any additional gear models you fancy can be tried before buying in the new version of Custom Shop. The SE or 5 versions seem to me to be the ones that would be the optimal choice for most users. In Cubase the decision is a little less clear cut, but if you want stunning accuracy in your emulations and extremely fine and sophisticated control over your sounds the it is the thing to go for. Quite tempting?įor Reaper (which has no amp simulation built in) and Studio One (where the built in simulations are very limited) AmpliTube 5 it is an obvious top of the range add-on for recording. Realistically for what you would pay for a decent 100w mono combo you can have it all. If you want to have a whole universe of sounds at your whim, think about getting an iRig Stomp controller, AmpliTube 5 MAX (or AmpliTube 5 which can be bundled with a iRig controller - €349.99 plus tax and save money), your laptop and a full range combo like a Harley Benton* G212AFR - €285 including VAmplitube. The more I use it the more I like AmpliTube 5.
