IK Multimedia is giving away free copies of its Orange OR120 amp and matching cab sim to AmpliTube 5 CS users during August.
The company has been giving away a new amp each month for the second half of 2024 for users of its free AmpliTube 5 CS guitar rig software platform.
For August, IK Multimedia is giving away an officially certified Orange OR120 amp and Orange PPC412 4×12″ cabinet.
The Orange amp sim giveaway is supposedly only for new AmpliTube 5 CS users who signed up in August.
However, there is a method that allows existing AmpliTube 5 CS users to access the Orange amp freebie.
Thank you to Bedroom Producers Blog user Ryujin A., who described the method in the comments for our coverage of the June giveaway.
The method involves unauthorizing AmpliTube in the IK Multimedia Product Manager, reauthorizing the software, then “Refresh your purchase (the circle icon next to your username) and it’ll be added in. Restore your purchase in CustomShop if you haven’t already, just to make sure.”
Several other Bedroom Producers Blog users reported that this method worked for them.
However, please note that it may not work for everyone. Read the comment thread linked above for some additional tips from BPB users about how to get a stubborn account to recognize the freebie.
You can also see IK Multimedia’s instructions on the basic procedure to redeem the amp freebie in the link to the giveaway announcement below.
The Orange OR120 120-watt tube amp was originally manufactured from 1972 until 1981.
The amp, with its minimalist five-knob control scheme, is one of the most iconic and sought-after Orange designs.
Notable users include luminaries such as Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend, Kevin Shields, and Omar Rodriguez Lopez.
AmpliTube 5 CS is a 64-bit only Windows and macOS release, which comes bundled with 42 pedals, amps, cabinets, mics, and rack FX units.
IK Multimedia is also running a prize giveaway for AmpliTube 5 CS users.
Users who have installed the software will go into the draw for bundle giveaways, which will be drawn on January 2, 2025.
The grand prize winner will win an Axe I/O, ToneX Pedal, and Total Studio 4 Max.
The ‘first place’ winner will receive an Axe I/O One, ToneX One, Mesa Reference and Metal Gems.
The ‘second-place’ winner will win an iRig HD X and Metal Gems.
Stay tuned for further monthly amp sim giveaways from IK Multimedia, as there are still four more monthly amp giveaways to be announced for the year.
