Now you can use the equipment of the best guitarist in the world... Every time you play.
When you think of the modern electric guitar, certain images undoubtedly pop into your head. Yet perhaps none is more ubiquitous than the legendary Jimi Hendrix. Believe it or not, November 27, 2012 was the 70th anniversary of Jimi's birth, and we celebrated with this collection that features incredibly authentic models of vintage Hendrix gear.
Their sound was a unique blend of high-volume saturated tube amplifiers, feedback control, and a unique use of guitar effects pedals, which was a major advance for the time. Hendrix was one of the first guitarists to really experiment with the sonic expressiveness of electronic effects, which were a fundamental part of his sound. Electronic effects were a technological novelty in the 1960s, and in many ways Hendrix was a pioneer in using them to create unusual guitar tones. Now you can play with the same equipment...
AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ Anniversary Collection is the newly expanded, officially licensed collection of gear used by Hendrix in the studio and on tour. You will be able to connect to the same things that Jimi used to create the sounds that to this day are still considered the voice of the electric guitar - the sound that will bring you back to the era of Woodstock, while also continuing sounding incredibly fresh and contemporary.
The AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ Anniversary Collection offers 7 amps, 7 cabinets, 5 microphones, 11 pedals and 4 rack effects, totaling 34 pieces of vintage Hendrix gear!
New additions include SilverTwelve (model based on the Silvertone® Twin Twelve 1484™), offering punchy distortion and massive clean tone; JH Gold (model based on a Marshall® JTM 45™), Jimi's favorite Marshall from 1968 onwards, modeled with our DSM™ and SCC™ modeling technologies; JH 1200 (model based on the Sunn® 1200S™), a high-powered tube bass head used by guitarists and bassists; and EP Tape Echo (model based on the Maestro® Echoplex®), which gives you the sound of the most famous echo unit of all time.
You can use AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ Anniversary Collection as a standalone application, complete with a 4-track recorder and speed control, or as a tone plant plug-in for your favorite DAW
AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix Anniversary Collection™ features the same control and functionality as our flagship software, AmpliTube, and you can also add Hendrix gear through the Custom Shop feature that is built into every AmpliTube product. So you can buy 'the whole enchilada', or just one spectacular piece of gear at a time - the choice is yours.
Included in the AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ package are tone presets for Jimi's discography, covering sound settings for virtually every part of every song on his studio records. Go ahead, play with them. Try it. Mix them up. They're a great stepping stone - it's what we as guitarists do. Now, you can really get that 'Hendrix' tone and more.
It's very likely that you already know how it works. We designed the AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix Anniversary Collection™ to be so familiar and intuitive in its operation that you really don't need a manual or an engineering degree to operate it (what we do, however, is provide a manual, already a engineering degree, no). Just to be sure...Connect
To use the AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ Anniversary Collection, you have to connect your guitar to your computer. You do this with what's called an "audio interface" (we make some really good ones, click here to check them out). to see them). Once connected, the AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ Anniversary Collection gives you the exact signal chain you would use live or in the studio: tuner — > pedalboard — > heads — > speaker cabinets — > microphones with ambiance effects — > rack effects. Plus, you can set up two complete rigs and play in stereo.
