AmpliTube is a pretty swish plugin for guitar players – lots of amps, cabs, pedals and add-ons. Not much free stuff to be had however, so the release of a free cab room is definitely welcome.

Here’s the spiel:

“You asked and IK answered! AmpliTube Custom Shop (free) users on Mac/PC now get access to the 3D microphone positioning and other Cab Room features, previously premium features available exclusively to AmpliTube 4 full version users.”

“Now users of the free version of AmpliTube, AmpliTube Custom Shop, have this amazing and important piece of the guitar tone puzzle – at no extra cost!”

“AmpliTube delivers a hyper-realistic, full guitar rig experience, and an important part of that experience is found in the Cab Room features. AmpliTube Custom Shop users can now enjoy the unparalleled level of customization, virtualization and flexibility found in the five distinct Cab Room customization sections: Cabinet selection and size adjustment; individual speaker selection; mic selection and placement; room selection; and a mixer section. Each provides mix and match options and fine-tuning controls for a truly immersive reality that goes beyond the physical world.”

What’s new:

• 3D Room environment emulation
• Select different speaker cabinets from different amps
• Change individual speakers in the same cabinet
• Dual Mic Placement on any speaker in the cabinet
• 18 of the most desirable microphones in recording history can be used in the Cab Room (comes with 3, 15 available in Custom Shop)
• 29 individual speaker models
• Choose from 6 different room scenes
• Cabinet Mixer section to fine tune and mix all elements

Not too shabby. Here’s a vid demo:
