Where Does AmpliTube Store Presets and Settings?

AmpliTube keeps user presets in Documents\IK Multimedia, with settings in AppData and factory content installed.

Last updated

AmpliTube splits user content from factory content. Your presets and custom gear settings live in Documents under IK Multimedia, while the amp models themselves stay in the install tree.

That split makes preset backup trivial and reinstalls safe. Copy the Documents folder and every custom rig survives a version jump or a machine move.
