IK Multimedia and Fender Musical Instruments
Corporation are pleased to announce the release of AmpliTube Fender® version
1.1, a free downloadable update for all registered users of AmpliTube
Fender®. Delivered to satisfy requests from players around the world, this
new software update of the hottest guitar and bass tone software has several
new models and enhanced functionality.

AmpliTube Fender® is the “Official Fender Software Amplifier and Effects
Suite”; two years in the making, AmpliTube Fender is the result of intense
collaboration between IK Multimedia and the Tone Guru Amplifier and Effects
team at Fender.  Every model was sound certified and tested by the trained,
professional engineers from both IK Multimedia and Fender, ensuring that the
sound quality and operation was authentically Fender.

What’s New in AmpliTube Fender? The addition of three new, user-requested
“stompbox” effects, and a rack unit:

• A classic stomp Compressor, based upon the Compressor in the Fender
Cyber-Twin® SE, provides a more consistent and higher input signal at the
amp input stage with four “levels” of compression/gain available.

• A New Wah pedal, based on the Wah effect in the Fender Cyber-Twin® SE,
offers two “wah” voicing options, the “Cryin’” and “McCoy,” and provides
detailed control of the amount, effect frequency range and output level of
the effect.

• A New Tremolo pedal, based upon the Fender Amp tremolo circuit, provides
that world-famous Fender Amp tremolo effect in a convenient stompbox, giving
players more front-end flexibility for tone shaping, plus adding the magic
of the Fender Tremolo to any non-tremolo amp model.

• A New Rack Unit based upon the Fender® ’63 Reverb Tank now allows for
post-amplification reverb application, giving models without reverb the
rich, lush reverb effects for which Fender is famous.

These additional stomps and rack effects will provide players and engineers
with a total of 9 Fender stomp effects and 7 total rack effects, making
AmpliTube Fender® an absolute powerhouse of classic and modern guitar/bass
tones and effects.
