IK Multimedia AmpliTube SVX 2 | Classic Ampeg Bass Amp Expansion Tone Library
AmpliTube SVX 2 is a bass tone expansion built for the AmpliTube platform, focusing on classic Ampeg amp and cabinet modeling and offering a range of low-end textures from clean to distorted. After installation it can be quickly accessed within the main application and freely combined in the signal chain to satisfy bass tone needs for recording, rehearsal, and live performance.
