AmpliTube Custom Shop is a guitar amp and effects modeling plug-in that offers a comprehensive free version featuring 24 models, including stomp boxes, amplifiers, cabinets, microphones, rack effects, and a tuner. Users can expand their collection by purchasing additional models individually through the integrated online Custom Shop, which offers a flexible credit system for affordable access to legendary guitar and bass gear emulations. Designed for both Mac and Windows, AmpliTube Custom Shop operates as a standalone application or plug-in with compatibility across major formats including VST, AU, and RTAS, supporting 64-bit systems for enhanced performance.

The software delivers highly accurate sound emulations using advanced technologies, allowing musicians to create complex rigs with up to 20 effects in chains that include two amplifiers and movable microphones for precise tone shaping. Its user-friendly interface features instant preset switching for live performance, a preset database with online sharing capabilities, and seamless integration with IK Multimedia’s hardware accessories. Additionally, the built-in SpeedTrainer function lets users adjust backing track playback speed without altering pitch, while the standalone version includes a four-track recorder for capturing ideas directly within the application.

The latest version enhances the experience by adding new gear models from sought-after boutique manufacturers such as Dr. Z Amplification, Fulltone, and Z.Vex. These additions enrich the palette of sounds available for purchase, further expanding creative possibilities. AmpliTube Custom Shop’s modular approach empowers guitarists and bassists to build their ideal tone setup with professional-grade sound quality, flexible configurations, and an ever-growing collection of authentic gear models accessible right from the plug-in.
