Amplitube Fender Kudos
I just wanted to say that the Fender package from Amplitube is very impressive. I got it on sale a couple days ago and it kinda blew me away. The Twin Reverb model is just outstanding! The on-amp reverbs, tremolos, vibes, are awesome. And add a chorus pedal, and tube screamer......wow.
I'm not one to gush over something very often, but I highly recommend this product. Good job IK Multimedia!

Yeah, I bought the Mesa Boogie package last year and it was ok, but I wasn't wowed. But this Fender one is really super. I have a really nice early 80's Epiphone Sheraton, and it has never sounded better than when plugged into that Twin Reverb.
Anyway, just thought I'd share my thoughts with the forum here. It is definitely my go-to rig from now on. Good stuff!

I agree also. Amplitube Fender is my go to for guitar sounds. The Ampeg package is my go to for bass. These are the two best IMHO.
The reason people say the vinyl sounds better is because the music was better. Sonar Platinum, Intel i7 –2600 CPU @ 3.2 GHz, 16 GB ram, 2x2TB internal drives and 1 1TB internal drive, Radeon HD 5570 video card, HP 25" monitor,

I haven't picked up Fender yet. If it's as sweet as the Mesa bundle than it must be great.
Thanks for posting this this. The positive responses have me wanting it now.

It's worth adding the Princeton if you have any Jam Points lying around. It's excellent. Or maybe they're including that in the Fender bundle now?

Some of the Mesa, Fender and Ampeg models are pretty good, and I say that as someone who dislikes using digital emulators. IK's JTM45 isn't bad either so long as you use a cab with vintage Celestions instead of the one they suggest as it's default cab.
The Princeton is particularly good (as are the Mesa Mark III and IV). It works well with harmonica too, if you keep the input volume down, roll off the treble a lot and increase the bass/mids. Which is pretty much what you need to do with the real thing when using it as a harmonica amp.
Unfortunately for me I've yet to find an fx/amp digital emulation package where I find the trade-offs don't outweigh the advantages the things provide.
Now, if there was a model of Neil Young's modified Deluxe, or even a tweed deluxe where the volume controls interacted properly.....

The Princeton doesn't come with the bundle. Neither does the champ (I think.) The Princeton is pretty nice though

Hi all, I just ordered and downloaded this package a while ago. I followed the instructions and used the authorization manager, pasted my s/n, downloaded and installed. But, it will not open for me. I tried opening as administrator, but nothing happened. Any ideas would be appreciated. I've successfully downloaded other products from IK before, but not this time. Thanks. edit: I'm able to open the program within Sonar, but still unable to open the stand alone version.

A few times I've had a shortcut not take me to the actual program. If you right click and click on go to actual folder or program (I don't remember the actual term) is there an app there that will open. When you find the one you want right cliçk and click send to desktop. When it sends an icon not just a folder you're there. The stand alone IK is in program files X86 I believe even when you have 64 bit. Wish I was on computer instead og tablet right now.

Just to report: IK resolved this issue for me within 24 hrs. I was told to uninstall, reboot, and go to my products and install ver. 4.02. This did the trick! Kudos to the support staff of IK for their quick response. I'm now ready to update to ver. 4.03.
