IK Multimedia AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix ($249/€199)is now available. Based on IK’s Remix Technology Award-winning AmpliTube 2 and made in cooperation with Authentic Hendrix, LLC., AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix is the first authentic software recreation of the complete guitar amp and effects rig of Jimi Hendrix available in a single product, offering a vintage collection of stomp, amp, cabinet and effect models that made a legendary sound.

This makes AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix perfect for all guitarists, including AmpliTube users, to recreate all the authentic tones of popular Hendrix tunes or as a fantastic tool with models of highly collectible guitar gear that can be used for many modern styles of rock music from hard rock to punk, alternative, progressive and pop.
