IK Multimedia, the company behind quite a few music centric apps and accessories for the iPhone, announced the formation of strategic partnerships with many of the music industry’s leading guitar and bass amplifier and effects manufacturers — including Fender, Ampeg, Orange, Soldano, Seymour Duncan, Gallien-Krueger, Jet City Amplification, THD and T-Rex.
Unsurprisingly, the alliances struck coincide with the upcoming release of the new AmpliTube application for Mac/PC digital recording workstations and iPhone/iPad.
We don’t have the exact launch date for the next version of AmpliTube — all we know is that it will be “announced soon.” We do, however, know that it will include ultra-accurate gear modeled on these valued partners amplifiers and effects. Moreover, the new version will also offer a brand new way to try and buy the included gear models. A new distribution and pricing model “that has no precedent in the software and plug-in industry” though we’re not sure what that exactly means. As soon as we hear something new on this, you’ll be the first to know. Stay tuned…
