IK Multimedia and Mesa Engineering Announce Amplitube MESA/Boogie
IK Multimedia’s guitar and bass tone-creation software, Amplitube 3 Custom Shop, has a new addition – The Amplitube MESA/Boogie collection.
This new suite was co-developed with the R&D team at Mesa Engineering, providing mirrored replication of five amplifiers, and five cabinets from Mesa. In amlitube, users have the freedom to layer their sounds in numerous ways, and now with the power of MESA/Boogie, responsiveness of these legendary amps is can be lugged around without all of the high-gain weight.
The MESA/Boogie collection from IK Multimedia is for preorder now for an intro price of $99, or 100 Custom Shop Gear Credits from the Amplitube Custom Shop. The suite will be available September 1, 2015 for $149 MSRP, and is compatible with Mac and PC. Here are more details from IK Multimedia:
This first-ever officially authorized by MESA line-up includes the classic Boogie V-Curve EQ’d crunch rhythm and singing lead voice of both the MARK III and MARK IV Series as well as what many refer to as the biggest sound in Rock, the crushing gain of the Dual and Triple Rectifiers – these are amps that have ruled the airwaves for almost two decades. As an added bonus, the TransAtlantic TA-30 (MESA’s upscale tribute to the classic British EL84 legacy) is included as well. It roams the elusive pushed clean and medium gain territories with both finesse and attitude.
AmpliTube MESA/Boogie recreates this historic and diverse legacy in virtual form. IK software engineers worked relentlessly with the Mesa Engineering R&D Team to ensure that each amplifier and cabinet has been rendered with the same degree of integrity and attention-to-detail that goes into the company’s physical products – the operation of both the front and the back panel controls has been fully replicated to provide exacting performance and function. The amplifiers and cabinets available in AmpliTube MESA/Boogie include:
Amplifiers:
- Mark III Combo
- Mark IV Combo
- Dual Rectifier Head
- Triple Rectifier Head
- TransAtlantic TA-30 Combo
Cabinets:

August 12, 2015 at 8:56 pm (9 years ago)Yeah I was wondering about that myself! In a DAW headroom isn’t really that relevant and it seems to be what sets these amps apart from the IK info. Wondering if I should wait and demo the amps and just get the one’s I’ll use or jump in now to avail of the 99.99 offer over August..
