AmpliTube 5.2 update - Streamlined Custom Shop and more

[Peter_IK]

Version 5.2 is here with a more streamlined Custom Shop experience. Now you can simply browse the gear carousel on the right-hand side of AmpliTube 5's GUI or use the available drop-down menus to demo or quickly unlock any gear you want.

Instant access to gear

Each piece of gear you try is fully functional for 72 hours, plenty of time to test all its features and sounds. When you're ready to make a purchase, just click the Lock Icon for the gear you want or the Triangle in the upper right of your chain to access the Buy Now option.

That gear will be added to your cart allowing you to check out normally or with your available Gear Credits or JamPoints. With AmpliTube 5.2, you'll find it's faster than ever to find the perfect guitar or bass tone and make it yours.

Update instructions

For existing users, to get updated on Mac/PC, launch the IK Product Manager, go to Manage My Products, and use the Update button next to AmpliTube 5.

It's great to see this user-friendly functionality in the product at last.

Does it mean we can uninstall the Custom Shop?

Is there a list of specific fixes with each release, more specific than "general reliability improvements"? Or, is there a way I can verify that the issues I reported a while back were ultimately resolved? I have the automated email from the bug tickets I submitted, but never got any response from support.

Not at this time as it is used for more than just AmpliTube

What if Amplitube is all I use?

You'd want to consult IK Support before making any changes like that to make sure nothing else would be affected.

You can't get that annoying prompt about the trial mode away when you start Amplitube, can you?

[olivier.gandou]

I don't have one and I have the free version... are you using an IK Multimedia product like the iRig? I have one (actually, several ), I think that's why I don't get one...

If your AmpliTube 5 version (even the free CS version) is registered and authorized you will not see that message. I'd suggest making sure IK Product Manager says "Authorized" for AmpliTube 5 and I'd run a "Restore My Purchases" from Custom Shop (now integrated of course, as the topic of this discussion ).

Unauthorized AT5 and re-authorized again and now the prompt is gone. Thanks!

This Custom Shop update is a nice one for trying out new gear. Last week I did a 72 hour trial demo of the X-Gear pedals with the previous version-- and despite having the Custom Shop window open and being logged in, I was still prone to getting those periodic white noise bursts if the Custom Shop window was minimized or put in the background. So I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked to try out the gear.

But with the new update, I can still drag the locked pedals over into my signal chain in Amplitube and get them to work-- albeit with the noise bursts-- but being outside the 72 hour free trial window, I can live with that-- at least I can still use the gear and play around with it.

Good job with this update!

I updated and now it closes Reaper every time I select it for the effects chain. Super disappointed.
