2.8 The StealthPedal System Structure

This section explains how the StealthPedal system is structured and how its

components interact with each other.

The StealthPedal system consists of the following components:

• StealthPedal USB Floor controller and audio interface.

• Mac or PC host computer (see Installation and Authorization Manual

for system requirements).

• AmpliTube software installed on the Mac or PC computer.

• StealthPedal MIDI Control application.

StealthPedal is a USB Audio Interface and Controller specifically designed to

control IK Multimedia “Powered By AmpliTube” software modeling proces-

sors. StealthPedal is designed to work in combination with a core software

application called “AmpliTube” that runs on the host computer.

With StealthPedal you can go onstage comfortably, without heavy guitar

amplifiers and stomp pedals. The StealthPedal system gives you access to

hundreds of extremely accurate digital models of sought-after pieces of

gear, with a convenient small footprint, all in one device. Bring onstage the

sounds that you use in your productions, create custom controls for each

Patch and lots more. Go in the studio and remotely control all of your favorite

“Powered by Amplitube” processors within the AmpliTube “shell”. You will

be able to use StealthPedal as a remote controller for AmpliTube hosted by

your favorite Digital Audio Workstation as well as a high quality ASIO or

CoreAudio interface for your favorite DAW. Even if you don’t intend to use

StealthPedal as an audio interface (because, for example, you’re using Pro

Tools®) you can still use the StealthPedal as a flexible MIDI controller for

your software application(s), or for controlling AmpliTube as a plugin within

your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

AmpliTube performs the following tasks:

• Provides audio input - output from and to StealthPedal.

• Provides Control Mapping for your StealthPedal for use with “Powered

by AmpliTube” software (for non-“Powered by AmpliTube” software,

please use the MIDI control application).
