IK Multimedia just dropped a whole tone pack modeled off nine ridiculously rare Fender amps from the early sixties, and gear nerds are gonna lose it over this one. The Brown Panel Signature Collection sits in that sweet spot between the raw Tweed-era grit and the cleaner Black Panel tones that came after, and apparently, these specific amps shaped a massive chunk of American amp history.
Genre-wise, these things touched everything, surf, country, blues, early rock, you name it, and the tonal DNA runs from Chris Stapleton's expressive style all the way to Mark Knopfler's glassy, clean sound. IK's pitch is that they nailed the warmth, punch, and dynamic feel that made players reach for these amps constantly, whether tracking in a studio or gigging live.
Under the hood, you're getting 80 Tone Models pulled from nine actual vintage units, each one sampled across tons of settings to capture its personality. The lineup includes a 1960 Concert, a 62 Vibrolux, a 60 Bandmaster, a 61 Deluxe, a 62 Super, a 63 Vibroverb, a 60 Princeton combo, a 61 Pro Amp, and a 63 Vibrasonic, covering everything from huge clean headroom to that classic 1x15 growl and pedal-driven lead tones.
The capture process involved AI Machine Modeling routed through an SSL 4000G desk with a mix of mic types, and the Complex Rigs option throws in vintage-style pedal chains modeled after gear like the Klon, Tube Screamer, and MXR Distortion+.
Runs inside TONEX on modern Windows and Mac machines across VST3, AU, AAX, or standalone, and it plays nice with AmpliTube and any TONEX hardware too. Grab it now during the launch discount, sitting at €79.99 instead of the regular €99.99 price tag.
