AmpliTube 5 MAX v2 Black Friday Deal 2026: $99.99, 66% off

AmpliTube 5 MAX v2 is on Black Friday at $99.99, 66% off until Nov 30, 2026, giving you IK Multimedia's guitar and bass rig plugin with 435 gear models.

It runs as a standalone app and as a plugin in your DAW, and covers the whole signal chain: stomps, amps, cabs, speakers, mics, rooms and rack FX in one interface.

What is in AmpliTube 5 MAX v2?

The MAX v2 version adds the AmpliTube MESA/Boogie 2 collection and all 4 virtual X-GEAR pedals to the base library, for the 435 models total.

The maker says the gear was developed with top brands and artists, and names Fender, Mesa/Boogie, Orange, Brian May and Joe Satriani.

How does the signal chain work?

The drag and drop chain holds up to 57 simultaneous models, with series and parallel routing and a blended DI signal.

The stereo signal path means the chain also suits drums, keyboards and vocals, not only guitar and bass.

A new mixer blends multiple cabs, mics and DI. It carries 23 mixing effects, some derived from T-RackS.

What is new in the cab section?

IK says its Volumetric Impulse Response (VIR) engine uses over 600 distinct impulse responses per speaker. Across the 100+ cabinets that adds up to over 143,000 impulse response measurements.

The cab section gives you:

• Two movable cab mics for placing the mic on the speaker
• Two movable ambient mics to adjust how much of the room you hear
• Up to 31 individual speaker models, with more added through the Custom Shop
• Speaker swapping into any cabinet position on 12" models
• A custom IR loader and editor for your own impulse responses, with tilt and resize

IK's Dynamic Interaction Modeling (DIM) is the technology the maker credits for capturing the nuances of each piece of gear.

What tools come with it?

The standalone app doubles as a practice and sketching space. Here is what it includes:

• Built-in 8-track recorder with DAW and mixer
• Advanced looper, with audio import to track 1 for playing over a backing loop
• UltraTuner
• Live Mode with preset switching via MIDI control
• SpeedTrainer, which speeds up or slows down imported tracks without changing pitch

Sampling rates go up to 192 kHz, and DAW automation and BPM sync are supported.

The preset database has gear-oriented tags and keywords with advanced search, and ToneNET is a free web platform for sharing presets with other AmpliTube 5 users.

If you own any earlier version of AmpliTube, this is a universal upgrade, and the Custom Shop restores gear from previous purchases.

IK's own audio interfaces and controllers integrate with it.
