IK Multimedia Introduces New Gear in the AmpliTube Custom Shop

June  2011, Modena, Italy – IK Multimedia is proud to announce the addition  to the AmpliTube Custom Shop of five new gear models designed and  developed in close cooperation with Seymour Duncan® and Orange®.

The AmpliTube Custom Shop, launched in April, has become a  powerful tool for guitarists, bassists, keyboardists and producers to  create their own truly custom tone from the comfort of their own studio.  Now the Custom Shop has been expanded with these new gear models  available today to try and buy immediately.

Two new stomp box models from Seymour Duncan are now available: the Power Grid distortion and the Shape Shifter tremolo pedal. The Power Grid has five stages and three-band active EQ which makes it  one of the most versatile distortion pedals available. The Shape Shifter  reproduces the hypnotic tremolo sounds characteristic of 50’s tube amps  with detailed "Wave" and "Shape" controls allowing you to create many  different effects! These two stomp boxes mark the entry of Seymour  Duncan into the AmpliTube Custom Shop, and more Seymour Duncan gear  models are already in development.

Three new officially certified models of Orange gear have been added as well. The Thunderverb 200 is a powerful and flexible amp capable  of all kinds of tones from vintage rock to modern blues, hard rock to  metal. Nothing can match the bone crushing, bottom-end punch of this big  stage tone head. The Custom Shop model brings this incredible amp  within reach of all musicians and studios. Along with the Thunderverb  200, IK has also introduced two new Orange cabinets, the Tiny Terror Combo and the PPC212OB.

The AmpliTube Custom Shop is the best way to try and buy gear 24/7 and from the comfort of your own studio. The Custom Shop continues to grow, and these five new models are just the beginning of what is still to come!
