Best-In-Show DSP
AmpliTube X-SPACE leverages IK’s latest technologies for hyper-realistic emulations of real-world gear. The state-of-the-art DSP onboard offers 16 high-end algorithms, while a special X-MODE opens additional infinite-feedback effects. All combined, X-SPACE delivers amazing clarity to the stage with the realism and response that users love about AmpliTube 5.

16 High-End Algorithms

• SHIMMER-1
  A complex shimmer that offers increasing feedback. The pitch can go from 1/4 semitone up to an octave creating many different customizable shifting voicings.

• SHIMMER-2
  Shimmer 2 differs from the first one because there is no build up in the feedback and the two different pitched voices can be set in parallel to create custom harmonizations.

• HALL
  This model recreates the ambience of a live concert hall with controlled decay and a reverb time range from 1 to 9 seconds to replicate from smaller venues up to larger clubs. With an advanced parameter set that features a 3-band decay trimmer, the sound of the hall can be highly tweaked to always find the perfect tail in which to place the instrument.

• ROOM
  This model adds the third dimension of a room to the direct sound in order to place it in a physical space and obtain a more natural sounding performance. Thanks to the 3-band decay trimmer any room can be recreated giving infinite possibilities. Its time range goes from 0.5 to 3 seconds offering a great option for a reverb that adds character without noticing the reverb itself.

• CHAMBER
  This model offers the typical chamber sound found in many professional recording studios and provides a highly reflected and bright tail that’s perfect for aggressive reverb tones. Its time range goes from 1 to 9 seconds like the hall model, but the chamber has way more character and vibe.

• CHURCH
  This model has the longest tail in order to reproduce the typical reverb sound found in churches. Its reverb time has a range from 8 to 20 seconds to replicate from the smallest chapel to the biggest cathedrals.

• PLATE
  This model can recreate different iconic plate reverbs. Its time has a range from 0.5 to 5 seconds and the flavor is highly customizable through custom parameters, which let you emulate different types of plates by emphasizing the decay of certain frequencies and dampening others.

• SPRING
  This is a customizable spring reverb model, which emulates the vintage spring modules typically installed on guitar amplifiers.

• SWELL
  This is a swell processor that can automatically create fantastic fading swell effects followed by a customizable reverb trail to create dreaming pads or string-like sounds.

• GATE
  This is a customizable gated reverb that cuts off the reverb trail as desired in order to add textured groove to your playing.

• REVERSE
  This model is perfect to create reverse delay trails that fade in while you are playing. The reverse envelope can be set to 3 different modes to better fit the part.

• EARLY-REF
  This model emulates the typical short reflections that can be heard in a small room or space. It’s fully customizable to bring it from a sort of traditional delay to a buzzing early reflection sound.

• EXTREME
  This is a combination of two processors in one model. One is a plate reverb that gets modulated by the second one, which is a vintage phaser to add extreme modulated tails.

• ETHEREAL
  This is a highly modulated plate that recreates moving airy trails and adds magic to your lines.

• BLOOM
  This reverb makes your simple lead parts bloom up and become very rich and noticeable. It is a swell like effect to give movement and vibe to your parts.

• MAGNETIC
  This is a spatial reverb that has an airy tone with an accentuated modulation effect, which at low rates creates an effect of space floating.

Hardware That Stands Out
For AmpliTube X-SPACE we went all out to guarantee your tone stays as pure and pristine as possible, no matter how simple or sophisticated your signal chain becomes.

• Ultra-low noise, 24-bit/192kHz converters for class-leading sound quality

• 5 Hz–24 kHz frequency response to capture the full scope of your guitar’s sound

• 112 dB dynamic range provides whisper-quiet operation at any gain setting

• A pure analog dry path and selectable true or soft bypass for maximum control

Industry-Leading Integration
AmpliTube X-SPACE includes a matching virtual version for Mac/PC and a copy of AmpliTube 5 SE.
