AmpliTube 4
AmpliTube 4 is a guitar and bass amplifier and effects modeling plugin and standalone application from IK Multimedia. It simulates vintage and modern tube amps, cabinets, microphones and effects chains for recording, performance and practice. The app serves guitarists and bassists who want classic amp tones without physical hardware, and is used both as a standalone desktop application and as a plugin within digital audio workstations like GarageBand, Logic Pro and Ableton Live.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAmpliTube 4 is currently an Intel-only application with no confirmed native Apple Silicon build available. The app will continue to run under Rosetta 2 for the time being, but Apple is scheduled to remove Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, arriving in September 2028 — at that point an unmodified Intel-only build will stop launching altogether. IK Multimedia has released newer versions of AmpliTube (version 5 and later) that include native Apple Silicon support, so the most reliable path forward is to upgrade to a current version of the software. If you are not ready to upgrade to a newer major version, contact IK Multimedia directly to ask whether they plan a native Apple Silicon update for AmpliTube 4 specifically. Given the approach of the September 2028 deadline, planning your transition sooner rather than later will give you more time to evaluate alternatives or budget for an upgrade.
