About IK Multimedia Axe I/O

With the AXE I/O + AmpliTube 5 MAX Bundle, elevate your guitar and bass recordings with unparalleled precision and versatility. The AXE I/O interface, a cornerstone for any serious recording artist, boasts a high-quality audio interface designed specifically for guitar and bass players. It features an array of advanced tone-shaping capabilities, including an Amp Out for seamless integration with your existing gear. The interface delivers pristine audio quality with a premium 24-bit, 192 kHz conversion rate, ensuring that every nuance of your performance is captured with crystal-clear fidelity.

The AXE I/O's innovative main channel provides three distinct circuit topologies tailored to suit any guitar type, pickup configuration, and playing style. The PURE setting offers an uncolored, transparent preamp that faithfully preserves your instrument's natural sound. The JFET setting introduces a Class A JFET input buffer, adding a touch of harmonic richness and a warm midrange focus. For active pickups, the ACTIVE setting bypasses unnecessary gain stages, maintaining a direct and clean signal path. The groundbreaking Z-TONE circuit allows for impedance adjustments from 1 MOhm to 2.2 kOhms, enabling you to fine-tune your tone from sharp and precise to thick and bold.

The dedicated Hi-Z Amp Out feature simplifies the re-amping process, while the Preset knob and dual controller inputs offer real-time control over AmpliTube presets and other software effects. With an impressive 117 dB dynamic range and an extended frequency response from 3 Hz to 32 kHz, the AXE I/O is the quintessential front-end for any guitar recording setup.

AmpliTube 5 MAX, the latest evolution of IK Multimedia's flagship amp and FX modeling software, brings a vast library of over 400 gear models to your fingertips. This includes an extensive collection of stompboxes, amplifiers, cabinets, speakers, rack effects, microphones, and room simulations. The software features gear from iconic collections such as Fender, AmpliTube SVX, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, Brian May, Joe Satriani, Dimebag Darrell CFH, Orange, and MESA/Boogie.

The fully redesigned interface of AmpliTube 5 MAX, with its resizable display and new VIR Volumetric Impulse Response cabinet engine, offers a more intuitive and flexible user experience. The inclusion of over 143,000 impulse responses, a custom impulse response loader, and improved signal chain routing options provide endless creative possibilities. The expanded rig capability allows for up to 57 simultaneous effects, while the redesigned power amp section and new mixer feature enhance the realism and depth of your tones.

With five new amp models, two new stomps, and 19 new rack effects, AmpliTube 5 MAX delivers a comprehensive suite of tools for crafting the perfect guitar or bass tone. The software's 19 mixing effects, derived from the acclaimed T-RackS series, further refine your sound for professional-grade recordings.

Together, the AXE I/O interface and AmpliTube 5 MAX software bundle represent the pinnacle of recording technology, offering musicians an all-encompassing solution for achieving studio-quality sound at home or in a professional environment.
