AmpliTube 4
AmpliTube 4 is a VST audio plugin for guitar and bass tone modeling, used within digital audio workstations and the IK Product Manager host. It simulates over 400 pieces of vintage and modern guitar and bass gear — amplifiers, cabinets, pedals, effects, microphones and room acoustics — allowing musicians and producers to shape electric instrument tones without owning physical hardware. The plugin is part of IK Multimedia's AmpliTube ecosystem and integrates with the IK Product Manager for license and content management.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAmpliTube 4 is a VST plugin component, not a standalone application, and is updated through IK Multimedia's native product manager rather than independently. The Intel-only version of AmpliTube 4 currently runs under Rosetta 2, but Apple is removing Rosetta support in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this plugin will stop functioning on that release unless you upgrade. IK Multimedia has released AmpliTube 5, which offers native Apple Silicon support through the IK Product Manager. To get a native-compatible version: open IK Product Manager on your Mac, navigate to the AmpliTube 5 product page, and download or upgrade to AmpliTube 5. The IK Product Manager itself will handle licensing and VST plugin installation. If you prefer to stay on AmpliTube 4 while it is still available, contact IK Multimedia support to inquire whether a native Apple Silicon build of version 4 is planned. Otherwise, migrating to AmpliTube 5 is the most straightforward path forward before the macOS 28 deadline.
