The Best Tones in AmpliTube 5

[@LouisMenotti]

Finally a melodic guitarist who can properly demonstrate the tones of this software. Far too many metal thrashers who only demo the fuzz and distortion. It's much appreciated.

[@JacksonBrooksby]

Thank you man! Appreciated

Thank you for the demos. I liked the Double Tracked AC30 the most.

[@DoomRoomRecords]

[@mikaelhatzis]

Really loved the your passion and approach. No bullshit and great sounds. I have the Max rig, and it's a bit daunting but you made it accessible and demystified it. Thanks so much. I'll definitely be back. Stay FAB

[@mikaelhatzis]

Dumb question. What guitar are you playing? Sounds awesome.

[@JacksonBrooksby]

Thank you so much! Appreciate it. The guitar in the main demo is my musicman cutlass. The guitar in the song is the musicman st Vincent

[@fjb659]

Really nice playing. Im glad you lend an ear to chord progressions and song structure. The melodies are really refreshing, too.

[@stringbender57]

You did an absolutely fantastic job demoing these presets! I fell in love with the "Ambient Tweed Goodness" preset. That alone is worth the price of admission to me. Also, you have some very good guitar skills Jackson! Thanks for sharing! Now subbed...

Amplitube 5 Max is on sale right now for 79.99 which includes all additional artist packs. I now prefer Amplitube over Bias FX. Great video btw!

[@JacksonBrooksby]

Thanks for the info!

[@PreacherAtArrakeen]

I got the Amplitube 5 version in their latest group buy, and with lots of sig ad-packs for free. It is really good, and a lot of fun. The Custom 57 is one of my favourite, as well.

[@mikehunt576]

I just downloaded the cracked version and im just say it runs very well on Mac m1 Sonoma! I mean way better then the licensed one...I only got a copy so I can use it on a friends Mac and its not bad at all compared to OTHER CRACKED SOFTWARE SIMS>>!!

[@brucemillar]

Thanks Jackson, nice review. As said in another comment, it’s good to see a review by someone who uses softer and varied tones other than just distortion and overdrive. I bought this same software last week and am discovering what it’s capable of. I also have GR 6 which I have been using for quite a while. Cheers mate!

Dude your playing and melodies are wonderful

[@JacksonBrooksby]

Wow thank you!

[@ChienJaune01]

Cool demo song (I'm always a sucker for strings of sus2 with these kinds of tones). Even cooler would be to mark the presets on secreen as they play! Good job

[@vovindequasahi]

Great video thank for this. The stock presets of Amplitube 5 aren't really up to par, but with some fiddling you can get Amplitube 5 to sound fucking awesome. Also you have an excellent control in your playing; impressive bro! Great song too; love the riffs.

[@dulla8469]

Yea I tried finding a clean jazzy tone, but they all sounded week and thin and too clean, ended up having to create my own, the only presets I use are preset I’ve created from scratch or edited heavily from the stock preset I used

[@vovindequasahi]

@@dulla8469 Yeah it's so worth it to dig in and really get comfortable with Amplitube, because you can get really really good, professional tones if you work a bit with it. There are more expensive amp simulators that sound great out of the package just using stock presets, but their limitations hide behind that originally awesome first impression. Amplitube offers so much more once you get good at dialing it in.

[@MFDOOOOM]

@@vovindequasahi can you name some of those softwares ?

[@WinstonTexas829]

You're right. Why do presets always sound so bad? This is true with most fx units & amp modelling. I have no idea what they are thinking when they make & sign them off!

[@WinstonTexas829]

@@dulla8469 What did you use in the end. I too spent a long time looking for a true 50s/60s jazz tone for my archtop. Of all things I ended up with the Brian May AC30 on vol 3. It's one of the most transparent amps for clean sounds in the app.

[@DeadHeadmusic69]

I just got this, and man it's pretty good. I've got the petrucci nueral dsp and I think for heavier stuff nueral sounds a bit better, But this is very extensive. It cover all basis. What an awsome time to be a guitarist.

[@lathrin]

Honestly I love both. Petrucci does a bit better on the low end with 7 strings, but Amplitube can get you some absolutely NASTY tones with the right boosts and amp combos

[@artheriford]

What do you use for an output? I have tried a couple different monitors and aren't happy with them

[@matthewrobinson5511]

If you have a guitar amp with an effects loop use that. Signal chain should be guitar > interface device > effects loop return/power amp in. I was using a pair of Yamaha HS7 studio monitors and I never liked it. I now run into the effects loop of my 100w tube amp head powering a 4x12 cab with greenbacks and it rocks. Monitors suck as direct output from Amplitube.

[@artheriford]

@@matthewrobinson5511 I have a VHT Special 6 that just has one input. No effects loop. I have tried running my Stomp I/O to the amp with underwhelming results

[@matthewrobinson5511]

@@artheriford Do you really like the amp? I see there is a 1x12 combo version that has an effects loop it might be worth spending a few $$ if you can. Though it's worth looking into which side of the effects loop the master volume sits, I have another amp where the master doesn't control the effects loop volume so basically when I ran amplitube it ran full volume. I found out the hard way... Had to set all my presets to -50 db output.

[@artheriford]

@@matthewrobinson5511 I do. It’s 1 watt switchable to 6. I live in a townhouse so it is plenty loud. It may just be a matter of tinkering with the software and the amp more to get a better result. Initially, I was using an Electroharmonics 5 watt power amp pedal into a speaker cabinet. I could never dial that in. It was just loud. Completely washed all the tone out

[@maximiliangfrorer1039]

@@Tryggvasson be sure to adjust the input gain properly, on the Scarlett and in Amplitube. Use proper drivers, and new strings :)

[@Tryggvasson]

@@maximiliangfrorer1039 thanks, good advice, but here is my problem: what is the right input gain for amplitube? in th-u, for instance, the instructions are set it so you stay on the yellow when you strum the hardest. on the other hand, it seems to react well to -18 dbfs rms, which is significantly lower. amplitube seems to take that the best, too. but no matter what i do, i can't shake a bloated, muddy sound that is impossible to eq. that's the bane of my life. how do you set your input? p.s. - i can't stand new strings 😝. i mean i don't necessarily like them old and rusty, but usually i take them out of the bag about a week before i install them. new ones sound just too shrill for me.

[@Vertic3D]

@@Tryggvasson Please let me know if you figure out why it sounds so different because ive had the same problem since I started using Amplitube, always sounds way less clear than demonstrations online

[@SalsaBro]

So if you buy a toneX pedal now you get all of amplitude 5 as well?

[@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard]

You get "Amplitube 5" not "Amplitube 5 MAX v2". It's a little confusing but you should be able to upgrade to MAX v2 if you'd like

[@SalsaBro]

@@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard Thanks man. Yeah I realized I don't get all the pedals and stuff... which is sort of a bummer. But I get plenty to mess around with still so I am happy. The toneX pedal is sweet, now I just wish I had more time to play it

You’ll need an audio interface that has a Hi-Z input (DI basically) and then you’re good to go! The Focusrite Scarlett interfaces are a good place to start.

[@starsonmars9429]

I have the free ampli 5 and is very useful. I use the BritSilver and 5150 amps to record with. I have not looked at yet a foot controller to turn pedals on or off during recording. Or to manually initiate them at certain bars.

[@LeoGuzu]

Friend have you built an acoustic preset for electic guitar that you could share?

[@crawlingman7003]

Can we setup two independent chains, like a two amp live rig? A lot of those presets sound too mono. Can you send a split signal, one into amplitude, one into an actual real amp that is mic’d?

yes, you can, on the right in the editor, you can see arrows, press the split into 2 arrow, now you get 2 amps in stereo

same problem

[@JacksonBrooksby]

Not a clue, sorry guys. Sounds like maybe a ground issue? Do you have a ground lift switch on your audio interface?

[@TheeRocker]

If you use different outlets you could be just getting a ground loop. If you have a hum, even when you touch your guitar, get it grounded properly. Try another room if nothing helps. And remember different lights, and devices wireless or not have the possibility to produce noise. So eliminate a part of the chain, until found. Or start with just computer, interface and guitar. Hold the guitar and walk around the room with the intent to hear a change in the noise. Try another guitar, or invite someone with another guitar over, and see what it sounds like. There are many ways to remove all that noise/hum. Line conditioners, and check out Ebtech... ;)

[@DaveTaste]

I had this with P90's. I stuck a noise gate in then dialed the volume knob down on my Gretsch as well as playing with the noisegate. Don't know if that helps.

[@davidemagon]

Related to the "Ambient tweed goodness" I' wold ask if this is the standard "AMBIENT BLUES LEAD" patch or it is a modded version. I've tried it but it sounds harsh and fizzy..tried with humbuckers and single coil guitar...but nothing change....your tone is fat and beefy...mine is thin and sterile...may I ask you what audio interface are you using and at what sample rate? Thanks a lot

[@TheeRocker]

Many cut the highs and lows since not needed. Try cutting around 7KHz to 8 KHz on the highs, and lows to around 80Hz to 100Hz if low mud or woofy/boomy. That's a better starting point than allowing all frequencies. I'm surprised many of the plugin manufactures don't already do this. Then find the frequency cut or boost for the mids to nail your tone.

[@truescotsman4103]

I've been trying to get some good sounds out of Amplitube 5 but they seem flat and I can't seem to get that sound in my head. I decided to play around with some plugins included with protools. The SansAmp PSA-1 blew me away. Along with some of the pedal plugins that free amp plugin is amazing. I can get pretty much any sound with the preamp and then using virtual pedal plugins and reverb, delay, and chorus I'm getting amazing sounds I couldn't get with Amplitube.

[@sickassbeats]

Thats cool i gotta try that one out. And yeah honestly thats the bad and good thing about Amplitube, it has so much potential for THOUSANDS of amazing tones. BUT, it can be distracting with so much tweakiness that I personally get lost in the sauce. Tweaking so many things. Sometimes the the best approach for me is the conventional. Use a good popular amp, don’t tweak anything crazy, find a good cab, mic positioning, and pre post EQ (eq is suuuper important imo). But yeah A5 can get TOO immersive.

[@sickassbeats]

BUT if you know what u doing you can get HELLA good stuff.

My Amplitube5 doesn't sound anything like yours, you are sitting right in front of the computer and speakers/monitors and no noise.. Mine sounds horribly noisy. I am using a 50s tele and 60s strat. Have you put a noise gate on everything?

@@chrisgoodchild2204 Thanks Chris. Could be the hum but this is nothing against IKM but all of the plugin amps I have tried have the noise and all the videos I have watched of people playing through software amps all sound really good, clean and punchy.
