![]() The tone is the one we all know from the recordings of the greats. The overdrive tones were smooth and creamy (for the lack of a better term). ![]() With the other models (I’ve tried the ’53 Bassman, ’57 Custom Twin and ’65 Super reverb Fender amplifiers) I was surprised with the break up. It truly behaves as a real amp would, reacting to the volume potentiometer on the guitar and to the playing style. The dynamic response is amazing as with all the amp models in the Fender Collection 2. The amp model sounds and reacts the same way as the real amplifier does. I started with the ’57 Custom Champ since I had the opportunity to try the Fender reissue of this amp and also own a clone of it. I was lucky enough to try some of the reissues of these amps (proper amps, not modeled ones) so I have some basis to compare the Fender Collection 2. The IK Multimedia Fender Collection 2 on the other hand blew me away.įor me the experience of trying these was quite surprising at first. I was never a fan of digital modeling and few of the virtual amp plug-ins impressed me. When it comes to virtual guitar amps I’m a sceptic. ![]() They look like the fender amps we know, and they sure sound like them too. Each and every amp model has its own unique sound. The last amp in the collection is the well known ’65 Super Reverb with its glassy sound. Six of the amp models are the famous tweed style fender amps, from the legendary ’53 Bassman to the small but mighty king of the studio, the ’57 Custom Champ, which was originally designed as a student’s guitar amp but quickly became a studio standard.

The modeling approach supposedly produces the exact behavior in the entire system in a non-linear and dynamic way. Furthermore, the interactions and influence that each component has within the system of circuits and all of the variables that affect it are modeled as well. ![]() For Fender Collection 2 they took a step further in modeling by developing a new type of technology called Dynamic Interaction Modeling which digitally recreates the behavior of every single component in the circuit of the modeled amp. They’ve been modeling guitar and bas amplifiers, cabinets, effects pedals and much more for over twenty years. IK Multimedia was one of the pioneers of guitar amp modelling.
