Overview

The IK Multimedia Total Guitar & Bass Gear bundle (BOX-TGB-0001) consolidates five of IK Multimedia's amp and effects modeling plug-in suites into a single comprehensive package. At its core are AmpliTube 2 for general-purpose guitar tones, Ampeg SVX for authentic bass amplifier modeling, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix for classic rock sounds, and AmpliTube Metal for high-gain tones. Tying everything together is AmpliTube X-GEAR, which acts as a host plug-in that lets you load and combine models from any of the included suites into a unified signal chain. This means you can pair a Hendrix-style fuzz pedal with a Metal suite amp head and an Ampeg cabinet, creating hybrid rigs that would be impractical or impossible with physical gear.

With over 150 analog-modeled effects — including amp heads, speaker cabinets, stompbox pedals, and rack processors — the bundle covers a broad spectrum of tones for recording, mixing, and practice. Each model is designed to replicate the gain staging, frequency response, and dynamic behavior of its real-world counterpart. The software functions as a plug-in within any compatible DAW, making it straightforward to integrate into existing recording workflows. While these suites represent an earlier generation of IK Multimedia's modeling technology, they remain functional tools for guitarists and bass players who want a large palette of tones without investing in multiple standalone plug-in purchases.
