Tone Lab: AmpliTube

DISCLAIMER: Tone Lab is an independent, unofficial educational app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by IK Multimedia. AmpliTube and all related product names are trademarks of their respective owners and are referenced here only for descriptive, educational purposes. Tone Lab teaches the ideas behind guitar amp-simulation software — the kind used by AmpliTube and similar programs — through 22 in-depth lessons and a hands-on tone playground you can actually play with, not just read. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - Beginner: what amp simulation is, how a virtual amp is built (preamp, tone stack, power amp), cabinet and microphone simulation, gain staging, and reading a signal chain - Intermediate: effects chain order, modulation (chorus, flanger, phaser), delay and reverb, blending two amps, EQ strategy for a mix, genre tone-shaping, and impulse responses - Advanced: gain staging across a full chain, room simulation, reamping workflow, MIDI control for live use, recording clean DI signals, and troubleshooting latency Every lesson includes an interactive diagram, chart, or simulation built for that exact topic — drag a mic across a cabinet, reorder an effects chain and watch the description change, sweep an EQ curve, compare genre tone profiles on a radar chart, and more. INTERACTIVE AMP SIMULATOR A playable amp, cabinet, mic, and effects rig with real controls: gain, EQ, cabinet type, mic type, and four stompboxes (overdrive, chorus, delay, reverb). Press play, turn the knobs, and hear the tone change. Save your favorite settings as presets and load them anytime. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Mark lessons complete, follow your progress by level (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced), and pick up right where you left off. PRIVACY, BY DESIGN Tone Lab does not collect personal data and does not request access to your location. Lesson progress and saved presets are stored only on your device. ABOUT ADS Tone Lab is free to use and supported by ads served through Google AdMob. Ads help keep every lesson and feature free, with no account and no subscription required. Whether you're picking up an amp simulator for the first time or refining a tone you've used for years, Tone Lab is built to make the concepts click — one lesson, and one knob, at a time.
