IK Multimedia's AmpliTube is the ultimate guitar and bass tone studio for both Mac and PC, and with each exciting expansion, the tone-shaping possibilities grow exponentially. The Fulltone Collection for AmpliTube brings guitarists and all musicians an essential palette of sounds from a classic tone creator. Guitarist Michael Fuller founded Fulltone back in 1991, with the aim of building stompboxes that sounded as good as vintage pedals, but that were more rugged and reliable than the old, often fragile classics. Today, Fulltone is recognized as being one of the most committed and scrupulous manufacturers worldwide and IK Multimedia teamed up with them to bring you the finest recreations of three select effects you can now use directly in AmpliTube for Mac/PC.

Back to the Future
Fulltone Collection includes three powerful processors that are equally at home for music production as well as creative sound design. Wether you are a guitarist, a keyboard player, a composer, a producer, a sound designer or a mixing engineer, you can now have three versatile tools at your disposal to fulfill all your creative dreams. Fulltone Collection is all about the sound, the mojo and the feel of the original hardware but with all the practicality of AmpliTube's well known workflow.

TERC

—That 80's Rack Chorus

Recreated by Fulltone and based on the original, nearly impossible-to-find Dyno My Piano unit, the TERC gives you that lush, expensive, huge and elegant sound that made it so famous during the 80's. In fact only a few chorus units have stood the test of time, even fewer are immediately recognizable in the sound of the world's top players, but only one has eventually gained the status of the chorus sound of the 80's: and that is the tri-stereo chorus. 

Preset MODE, when engaged, creates an evolving, wavy modulation effect that is one of the most popular features of the original unit. The manual mode lets you experiment with different degrees of intensity and modulation for the left, right and central channels, going from subtle to extreme, for a wide open sound that will put a smile on your face.

Another peculiarity of the TERC is that, even when its modulation circuit is bypassed (by disengaging the Manual and Preset Mode) the state of non-modulation is reached in a gradual manner, creating a very subtle effect, reminiscent of the slowing down rotors of a Leslie. As a result, the clean sound is still being imparted a very unique flavor even though the chorus LFO is not modulating anymore.

But don't make the mistake of thinking that the “80's rack chorus” is just a retro and nostalgic machine. Far from it. Push it hard, use it on synths, vocal tracks, even drums (along with the SSTE for some crazy effects) and bass guitar and you will see what we mean. This machine is still as modern as it gets!

SSTE—Solid State Tape Echo
It captures the full essence, warmth and vibe of the original Echoplex EP-3 vintage unit, but without its unavoidable drawbacks. The original unit's noisy, mounting low-quality tape heads and would produce lots of hum whereas Fulltone's model fixes these problems greatly enhancing the machine's response and capabilities.

Feeling creative? You can play with the tape head by moving it back and forth to produce interesting wobbling effects or you can daisy-chain more SSTE's, each one set to a different time value and tape speed, to achieve unique results. It really is a matter of personal preference but, more importantly, it is something you can now achieve in your computer and without all the hassle of real tape.

And it doesn't end here. You can take advantage of tape's intrinsic idiosyncrasies to add authentic analog saturation to your sound, or exploit the harmonic character of either the Fulltone version's preamp or the original Echoplex's to add color to your tone; vary the tape response for a more brilliant or gently rolled-off sound, saturate the wet signal using the record level to tape control and much more!

OCD
This overdrive pedal is already a classic. It adds grit, punch and a modern attitude to the collection. It provides the same kind of touch sensitivity, warmth and complex harmonics that you would get from a quality tube amp. With the OCD, the sonic possibilities are so many it will..overdrive you crazy!

Shape your tone in hundreds of different ways, try it out in combination with AmpliTube's huge collection of amps and cabinets for an infinite number of tonal variations. The OCD is the icing on the cake that makes the Fulltone Collection perfect for all genres of music in all kinds of styles.
