IK Multimedia is giving away a free Mesa Mark III and matching cab for new AmpliTube 5 Custom Shop (CS) users throughout July.
AmpliTube 5 CS is the free version of IK Multimedia’s virtual guitar and bass workstation for Mac and Windows.
Mesa/Boogie launched the Mark III in 1985, and the amp is a three-channel, high-gain design.
The amp has been used by many legendary guitarists over the years, including David Gilmour, Steve Lukather and John Petrucci.
Now you can add the Mark III to your collection, thanks to the official Mesa Boogie certified emulation by IK Multimedia.
IK Multimedia provided some background on the amp, saying, “It features a fantastic set of sonic sculpting options plus a three-channel setup: Rhythm, a distinct midrange ‘Crunch’ Rhythm, and a Lead channel – each with independent gain and master volume controls.”
The company continues, saying, “The Mesa Boogie Mark III is favored by various artists for its tight, articulate, and crushing tone. It’s a dream amp to have in your guitar arsenal.”
IK Multimedia also noted that the accompanying virtual cab is based on the cab of the Mesa Boogie Mark III 1×12 Combo Amplifier.
The giveaway is part of an ongoing promotion by IK Multimedia, and the developer will be giving away AmpliTube gear monthly throughout the rest of 2024.
To get your free amp, start by creating a new account for AmpliTube 5 CS using the IK Product Manager.
The giveaway is supposedly only for new AmpliTube 5 CS users and is dependent on the month of registration – in this case, July.
If you’re an existing AmpliTube 5 CS user and want to get the freebie anyway, Bedroom Producers Blog user Ryujin Ayato suggested a workaround that can allow existing users to pick up the freebie.
You can see Ayato’s method in the comments below our article about last month’s IK Multimedia giveaway here.
Note that this method for redeeming the amp freebie as an existing user has not been tested by Bedroom Producers Blog, and we cannot vouch for whether it works.
Last month, IK Multimedia gave away a Fender ’57 Custom Champ amp sim combo for AmpliTube 5 CS users, although that promotion has now expired.
You can expect new amps to drop each month for the rest of the year.
