Hoping someone can advise here - I've Double Dipped and got a whole bunch of excellent stuff including MixBox, T-RackS and T-RackS SE. Given that I already have Mixbox, what further T-RackS processors would be best to get a nice balanced suite?

Get the Tape Machines, Leslie and Sunset Reverb.

Makes sense. With the apparent close relation of PB with Izotope. And their partnership with NI

Did you get to mention during your morning meeting our suggestion to allow us to exchange freebies for some jam points for those of us with no more free products to pick? 😉

Or make some custom packs for the AmpliTube stuff that are only in the Custom Shop or AmpliTube Max. Like Wampler bundle, only for the GB. 

at least it's not another sample pack.

Where's Peter btw? Taking a well deserved break after motivating us past the 10k line?

One must wonder what new software products they will push on the market next year, if the group buy really goes toward the final goal.

There won't be much to sell to us anymore.

So, what will it be? Next 10k for September and another 5k for October?

Then the GB will be done, just in time for the Black Friday Crazy Sales

Hope it isn't some hacking  the counter to a number over 10k.....😁

It'll be hilarious if we make it to 10,000, and then never make it to the 11,000 tier 🥴

we should manage 11k, don't know about 25k though...

Open custom shop standalone program and toggle between three tabs, amplitube, sampletank, and t-racks.  Anything you own will have a green check mark.   

Best go to My Profile and switch between the tabs. I have a number of amplitube items, which I own, but aren't marked as thus in the custom shop

Europeans need to carry the burden to get us closer to 10k while we sleep….go!!  

Only thing I still want are a couple of pedals which are just on either Amplitube Max or the Custom Shop. Apart from that I'm good with three entries. Hehe

Only 993 to go, and 46 hours left for a month's extension

... and AAS will swap any duplicate sound banks for you. There are 6 here!

I don't think they are more reluctant with that. Especially for sounds packs bought through these kind of  bundles.

Is it wrong? Just be careful you don't get trigger finger.

There are browsers extensions that do an auto refresh every x minutes... 

Just saying.. 

@Peter - IK Multimedia, which timezone do you use to determine when August is over?

Exactly! I was drawn to the orange side of the force when IK gave away the Little Terror! Great crunch sound with good mids that come through the mix.

I love it and the name of the amp reminds me of my 2 year old granddaughter! 😄

The Orange pack is high on my list of freebies!

I used Orange as my entry. 

Anyone know if it's worth to spend a slot on the Hendrix anniversary one, if I already got the original Hendrix pack? 

Wouldn't it be more fair to set 5th of Sept for the first 10k? That would be a full month of GroupBuy. Larry's post is from the 5th of August, I believe?

They could probably increase buy ins if they would let people merge their freebies to a higher  tier. 

Like offering to use 3 or 4 $99 tier freebies to get a $199 tier one.

Based on that slope and trend continues at same rate we might make 8 freebies but will be super close.  If Peter is right and the mass email tomorrow energizes things then could be 9 or 10 (if time is extended or we get super lucky) and curves up as you are hoping for Brian.   Now that a certain website that sells fans only changed their model maybe a lot of people with spare cash will want to join this group buy ? Haha.  Just hypothesizing here

That change only goes into effect by October. So Peter has to do a two month extension for the group buy to fully leverage that... 

So.. 

If I get someone in the US to buy me 200 gear credits, can I use the code in my EU account? Or will I just get 160 if I register them there?

OK- You got me too.  I was thinking waiting for another TS3 Max deal but now I get Amplitube 5, Mixbox, Modo drum, Modo bass, T-racks 5 (all crossgrade pricing at $200 level) PLUS at least one other title for $112 total.    <<GAS explosion>>   GIMME!

Thank God I live in Germany, IKM does everything in it's power to keep my GAS down!

I skipped Komplete 13, but I guess I'll start saving for Komplete 14 then

But your post did remind me of the nice, permanent 15% discount U.S. customers get in comparison to us Europeans, due to IK's lovely 1:1 exchange rate. 

Add a 19% - 21% sales tax they have to add for EU sales.... and there you have your 30% Jampoints....

Very much the reason I never buy directly from the IKM store, being in Germany

So now they are doing the subscription for dump prices too? Didn't take them too long...

Btw: Thomann.de got some Amplitube collections on sale:
