The World’s Most Influential Guitar and Bass Tones for your Computer
Welcome to the place where great tone finds you...Fender® Collection is the first and only official guitar/bass Amp and FX collection for AmpliTube made by IK Multimedia and legendary music icon Fender® Musical Instruments Corporation. We worked "hand in hand" with the engineers, sound gurus and management at Fender to bring the sounds of Fender's dream tone machines to your desktop/DAW.
With a collection of 49 pieces of gear collected from the most sought after classic and modern Fender® amps (including the '65 Twin Reverb®, '57 Deluxe™, ’59 Bassman® LTD, '64 Vibroverb® Custom, Super-Sonic™, Metalhead™ and many more), cabinets, stomp boxes and rack effects, Fender® Collection sets a new standard for software amplifiers.

Nailing Every Sonic Nuance
We're not gonna lie to you... we had to do some serious deep thinking while developing Fender® Collection. Countless hours of caffeine induced euphoria, gigantic reverberating think tanks of engineering mania - we had new technologies flying around the room like air molecules. But, that's what you do when you're creating models of the world's leading legendary amplifier manufacturer. Every step in the development process was constantly supervised and sound-certified, step-by-step, by the tone gurus at Fender® to ensure that the same quality process of real gear tone-testing has been strictly followed in the realization of Fender® Collection. Thats a lot of pressure, but we can handle it. We've been at it since the dawn of the digital age.
Never before have you been able to get this close to the real thing on your desktop.
How it works
Chicken-heads, Tweed and Tolex
Fender® Collection gives you an accurate and complete replica of included amps, effects and related controls that will immediately feel comfortable to you. Every adjustable parameter is never more than 2 clicks away, making even the most complex guitar tone easy to set-up and edit.
Fender® Collection uses new ultra-accurate modeling technologies developed by IK engineers with years of research in circuitry modeling: in addition to IK’s classic DSM™ or “Dynamic-Saturation Modeling” the new VRM™ (Volumetric Response Modeling) technology has been developed to nail down even the finest sonic detail.
Flexible Routing - the Mono, Dual Mono, Stereo Signal Chain
Because AmpliTube Orange runs from within AmpliTube, you get the full-rig signal path:
tuner —> pedalboards —> amp head preamp —> effects loop —> power amp —> speaker cabs —> mics with room effects —> rack effects.
Plus, you can configure two complete rigs and run in stereo.
There are also eight different series/parallel “routing” options available that give you total signal chain control, allowing you to configure tones for every possible playing scenario. You can select and customise different configurations on the fly as you see fit: dual pedal boards running into a single amp head split to two cabs, with different mic sets for each, running into a single rack with a compressor and graphic eq, just as an example. Run a full stereo rig with different amp setups… the combinations are endless.
