Announcing Fender Collection 2 for AmpliTube
Classic Fender tone through Dynamic Interaction Modeling™


We are proud to announce Fender Collection 2 for AmpliTube, a new collaboration with the product designers and R&D Team at Fender Musical Instruments Corporation that brings some of the most iconic and genre-defining tones of the golden years of Fender’s amplifiers to AmpliTube for Mac and PC and ushers in a completely new technology that sets a new standard for realism, feel and performance.

7 Classic Fender Dream Machines
Fender Collection 2 for AmpliTube brings seven of Fender’s most sought after vintage amplifiers and reissues to the leader of the virtual world of digital guitar and bass recording systems, providing spot-on recreations of tone machines from the ‘50s and ‘60s. Included in the Fender Collection 2 for AmpliTube are five amps from the ’57 Custom series; the ’57 Custom Champ, ’57 Custom Deluxe, ’57 Custom Twin, ’57 Custom Pro and the ’57 Custom Bandmaster, plus models of an original ’53 Fender Bassman and the iconic ’65 Fender Super Reverb.

The evolution of amp modeling technology: Dynamic Interaction Modeling™
What allows the Fender Collection 2 for AmpliTube to provide spot-on tone is the evolution of IK’s industry-leading modeling technology. Fender Collection 2 utilizes a completely new technology, Dynamic Interaction Modeling™, to recreate not only every individual physical component in the amplifier’s design from the preamp input to the speaker cone and beyond, but also recreates the nonlinear behavior between each component and its effect on other components in the amp, providing a new level of realism, touch and feel never before realized in any other analog modeled product.

Built for AmpliTube
Fender Collection 2 works inside of AmpliTube for Mac and PC giving players the world’s best-selling ultimate guitar and bass tone studio for their recordings. Fender Collection 2 is designed to take advantage of all the tone-tweaking features inside of AmpliTube 4 — features like the effects slot between the amp and speaker cabinet and the hyper-realistic speaker “Cab Room”.

Pricing and availability
Fender Collection 2 for AmpliTube will be available in December 2016 for $/€149.99 and is now open for pre-order at a special price of just $/€99.99 from the IK Online Store.

Fender Collection 2 will also be available in a bundle with AmpliTube 4 (within the Power Duo Bundle series) for only $/€229.99. It is also now open for pre-order at a special price of $/€179.99 from the IK Online Store.

Does this mean that the first collection will be free?

Fender Collection 1 is still available and will be (for purchase) after Fender Collection 2 for AmpliTube is released, as they are a completely different set of amps.

The original Fender amps are among the most popular and acclaimed we've ever made and this new collection is using new modeling technology that ups the game so it is not just another Fender collection and again raises the bar for the alleged "AmpliTube killers" that we've seen come and go over the years.

I figured, it was just my bad attempt at humor. Level of difficulty doing it via written word = way too high :)

You are absolutely right Peter, I always forget to use the emoji :)

Now seriously, a free Fender Bassman for the holidays would sound great!

Yes, we are in the same boat on that first sentiment and I too would love to have a final version of Fender Collection 2 for AmpliTube in my (and, more important, IK users') hot little hands before the holidays are fully upon us.

Can't wait to try this. I love the Mesa Boogie collection, was Dynamic Interaction Modeling used in the Mesa modeling or is this the next level?

Why not just buy a Fender modeling amp and stick a SM57 in front of it. I did. Works great!

No doubt it does.
I like to be able to just open a session and all my settings are saved with the plugin. No notes about what the knobs were set at, where the mic was placed or what preset I used, it's just all there. Plus I'm lazy and like that the DI track is the same track. Just makes things faster and easier for me.
