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.

AmpliTube MAX does not include Fender Collection 2.

Per the AmpliTube MAX page on our site:

AmpliTube MAX includes all the gear available inside AmpliTube 4 Deluxe, Fender® Collection, AmpliTube MESA/Boogie®, AmpliTube Orange®, Ampeg® SVX, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ Anniversary Edition, AmpliTube Slash, AmpliTube Metal plus all of the additional name-brand gear models from the AmpliTube Custom Shop (as of February 2016) featuring the industry’s best manufacturers for a mind-blowing total of over 300 pieces of gear.

(added emphasis for clarity)

Peter, will there be an upgrade price for people who already own the original Fender Collection?

[The_Rocker]

Thanks Peter,,, that clarifies things You rock

I'm sort of laughing,,, lol,,,
just figures I buy the Max because of the sale price recently.
Although I already own every brand bundle, including Fender collection,,, lol,,,
But getting the non-bundled few items is why I jumped on the Max bundle, lol,,,

If I had known the Max bundle would not include everything in AmpliTube, I probably would have just gotten the couple of items I wanted, lol,,,

Maybe we'll find Max does, and will include all AmpliTube products, once the new Fender 2 collection is released,,, I hope, lol,,,
Maybe a much better discount for Max and / or prior Fender collection owners ?
such as myself,,, lol

Hey, I love IKM .. I have all the products ST3, MP2, Amp Max, and more,,,

( I put a lot of effort in this post,, look at all the smiley's , lol,, )

To answer both posts above mine:

The $/€99.99 is the lowest offered price. For those with previous versions you would be able to use any JamPoints you have in your account to get an additional discount of up to 30%.

Fender Collection 2 is not going to be added to AmpliTube MAX in the future, according to the information I am told. AmpliTube MAX will contain the gear mentioned in my previous post.

[The_Rocker]

Thanks Peter ...
Yes, I have Jam Points and plenty of credits in the custom shop,,,

At some point they will have to change the name to Amplitube MAX-ish

I was aware of the MAX limit and wasn't expecting it to cover all future additions, but the name will seem odd, especially after a couple of new expansions come out.

Hi there!

I bought the Fender collection 2 power duo bundle which was on preorder. Do I need to wait for the Fender product release before I get the Amplitube 4 serial which was included? It's just that I'm too impatient to get my hands on it

[robamillard]

I'd like to get Fender Collection 2 but I have no need for the Marshalls in Amplitube 4. Is there a free version of Amplitube 4 that I can use with FC2? That's how I did it with Amplitube 3.

Will you be making new versions of the Custom Shop gear with the new modeling? I realize it's all compatible, but it will use the old modeling and be inferior, correct?

Any info on what guitars and effects were used in the demos/audio clips? I found the first collection a real letdown, might have been great with a Strat or single coil guitar but pretty muddy and limited with anything else imho.

[drchek]

Given that a Fender Guitar into a Fender Amp is solid gold, I'd bet that's what they focused on with the demos. That's not to say that other guitars won't sound good, I've had great success with Les Paul style guitars into fenders, but you won't get "that" sound.
