Ample Sound haben, basierend auf einer Gibson ES 335, die Software Version unter dem Namen Ample Guitar Hollow II vorgestellt. Aufgenommen wurde der Neck Pick Up mit Fingerstyle. Die Software eignet sich vor allem für Jazz und Blues und hat einen warmen, weichen Klang. Wahrscheinlich kommt in einiger Zeit eine Erweiterung mit dem Neck Pick Up hinzu. Hier einige Details zur Software in englisch:

- The Tab Player supports all the fingering, looping, chords, articulations and other markers in the loaded tablature.

- As a built-in function, the Tab Player works seamlessly with the Ample Sound instrument engine, which has extremely customized guitar playing logic so as to model a real world guitar being played. The Tab Player can even judge on its own to automatically add some refining articulations when it thinks it is appropriate, such as slapping on strings or body, or other realistic and indispensable noises.
- Strumming is an important factor of guitar playing. By taking advantage of the Ample Guitar Strummer engine, the Tab Player can not only mingle different articulations into strumming, but can also alternate between strumming several strings (i.e. multiple notes) simultaneously and strum at a particular string (i.e. one note).
