AmpliTube X-Gear Shipping With StompIO

January 17, 2008

IK Multimedia is proud to announce that AmpliTube X-Gear is now shipping with StompIO, IK's advanced USB foot controller and audio interface for guitarists and bassists. AmpliTube X-GEAR is a revolutionary software shell-host that lets you mix and match models from all "Powered by AmpliTube" products in a single interface, and provides seamless control over every parameter directly from StompIO, with no need for your computer's mouse, keyboard or screen. X-Gear is the first completely expandable and customizable guitar amp and stompbox modeling software system, available as a RTAS/AU/VST plug-in and standalone version for MAC/PC.

When loaded with the complete range of "Powered by AmpliTube" products, X-Gear gives you instant access to a staggering number of over 150 superbly modeled stomps, amps, cabinets, microphones and racks FX, for the ultimate in guitar and bass tone creation.

X-Gear seamlessly integrates with the StompIO foot controller/audio interface for complete control of your entire rig. Operate every element of X-GEAR with no need to connect your screen, keyboard or mouse, so you can switch patches, work your pedals, and tweak parameters just like you are using real gear! Every parameter of every model in X-GEAR is immediately available for control, through the 10 on board switches, 6 rotary encoders and 6 external expression pedals/switches, with preset numbers, values and labels immediately displayed on the StompIO's 2 large displays and no need for tedious configurations.

Use authentic-sounding models of classic, collectible guitar and bass gear, along with StompIO's high-end design and professional feature set, whether you are on rocking out on stage or recording in the studio.
