We do not use just speaker impulses. Our cabinet section is a hybrid approach using our modeling technology combined with impulses. If you are disappointed and have better results with free impulses, I’d suggest hitting up our support team at http://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support and/or users on the IK forum at http://www.ikmultimedia.com/forum to see if there’s something that can be done to get the expected results. AmpliTube is coded to be a full end-to-end chain of gear and the interaction between the different parts of the chain are a key part of the realism and is something unique to our developers’ innovative modeling technology.

Many of the amp models are great. The speaker impulses are not. I turn off the cabs and use Pulse with free speaker impulses. The free stuff is not as good as the paid stuff, but still very good. This 3-d room might be more flexible though, if I could even find it…

That’s exactly the reason I avoid IK, activation and installation are overcomplicated. If they read here then they should know that this process deters people who want to buy, not those who pirate software. Same reason why I still haven’t bought any Acustica Audio stuff.

Tracks recorded with Amplitube, that is

I think they’re great. I think the bass amp models sound better than my real amps. All the guitar stuff sounds very good. I bought an Eleven rack recently thinking I’d free up the CPU for other stuff, but it sits mostly unused. The IK models sound every bit as good, and the IK interface is way more intuitive than the Eleven. Nobody has ever been disappointed with the IK stuff.
