I am chiming in a bit late, but for what it's worth: I agree. :) The Brit V3 is based on a "Vintage 30 Marshall 70w". Amplitube uses it by default solely in the Slash cabs, AFAIK.

For what it's worth, I've produced a document (very unofficial!) that tries to match AmpliTube speaker models with their real-world equivalents: https://www.carlaz.com/music/Amplitube%20Speaker%20&%20Cab%20Models.pdf
It's up-to-date, including the models in the Satch collection.

Yes, AFAICT, the bespoke MESA V30s (which everything points to as being 60w) are represented by the Brit V2 in AmpliTube: "Vintage 30, 8Ω, 60w Mesa/Boogie (custom speaker), made in England".

There are, actually, a lot of V30 variants (in the real world and in AmpliTube) as far as I can tell.

Yes, indeed. AmpliTube's Brit 75 appears by default in the 4x12 Closed 75 C, 4x12 Brit 9000, 4x12 Brit Silver (i.e. "Marshall® 2551A 4x12” Slanted, T75"), and Satch 60 cab models.

Hey thanks! I totally missed this. I cannot get to that pdf you posted.. is it still up?

No, indeed! The various cab models can all sound quite different, even with the same speaker models. IMO, the "Cab Room" is one of the most powerful (and neglected) tone-shaping features in AmpliTube. You can pretty easily setup and save your own cab/speaker configurations, but it's a little fiddly trying to flip through them for easy comparison. IMO, future versions of AmpliTube interface could try to find ways to make that easier. It seems to me like a great deal of work went into the Cab Room models and sounds, though I am not sure they get the appreciation that they probably deserve.


Yes I agree and the cab room is not neglected by me. Using all the gear is very simple IMO because it looks and functions just like the real thing.. including the cab room. I didn't realize I could save my own cab/speaker configurations. I'll have to check that out.

Huh, looks like my website is offline! You can see how often I keep up with it .... :roll: :oops: :lol: I'll have to check with the friend of mine who maintains the server.

In the meantime, an up to date copy of the file is stashed in the files section of the "Amplitube 4 Preset Exchange" group on Facebook. Also, though I cannot attach files to forum posts, if you PM me (via the IKM forum) with an email address, I can email you a copy directly.
