Improved DSP emulation with ultra-accurate DSM™
technology
DSM™ technology (“Dynamic-Saturation Modeling”) is a new
and exclusive IK method used in the emulation of analog
circuitry in AmpliTube 2. With DSM™, analog circuits are
emulated down to a detail of finesse which cannot be offered by
any other effects modeler on the market today, setting a new
industry standard for state of the art analog modeling.
Emulation of rare vintage and collectible hardware, along with
precision modeling of power amplifiers down to every single
component (even the power supply stage), will give guitarists
the immediate feel as if they are actually playing the real rare
vintage gear they are accustomed to using in hardware.

Build your custom amp within 20,000 amp
combinations
AmpliTube 2’s unique ability to mix and match amp sub-modules
(PREs, EQs, POWER AMPs and CABINETs) allows to build your
custom amp and craft virtually any kind of amp sound. An
unbelievable 20,000 amp combinations are possible with 14
pre-amp models, 14 EQs, 7 power amps, 16 cabinets and 6
