How does it sound?

To demonstrate how well AI Machine Modeling matches the real amp, we modeled several amps, cabs and complex rigs, and provided the original (real rig) recording for you to compare.

For best results please use studio headphones or monitors.

From IK’s private amp vault we pulled a rare, one-of-kind 1953 wide panel Fender 5B6 Bassman amp to model using our new AI Machine Modeling technology. The Fender Bassman amp is one of the most sought-after tweed amps of the era. Approximately 660 (model 5B6) were made between 1952-1954.
