A USB audio interface cable with metal-oriented amp and stompbox modeling software, and more.

Go from rude and crude to buttery and classic with the IK AmpliTube Metal Studio tone factory. It lets you get scooped mids, sweeping arpeggios, and ear-piercing highs, scrambled in the ultimate tone omelette of death. You'll get the tones of the classic original 5150, plus the modern all tube "triple rect". Go from precious metal to heavy metal with the click of a mouse to recreate the tones of your favorite players, plus ones you've never heard before. A nice juicy collection of 412 cabs gives you plenty of drive power and extra tonal definition.

AmpliTube Metal Studio comes complete with a high quality, guitar cable StealthPlug audio interface and the AmpliTube Metal SE (Studio Edition) software suite. Play through an original "whammy," "SD1" and the legendary "rat" stomps and let your riffs flow out of the the tones from your new arsenal.

From today's modern high gain engineered marvel, to the now-vintage genre defining tone monster of the late seventies, the AmpliTube Metal Studio can handle every tone from crunch to full-frontal sustained attack, and then some.

Also in this affordable, yet fully loaded package you get Sonoma WIreworks' Riffworks T4 recording software, Sonic Reality's AmpliGrooves backing tracks to jam with, IK Multimedia's Live guitar & bass amp and FX modeling software, and Mackie Tracktion 2 music production software.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!
