When I first started with IK products I bought the iRig UA 2015. I wanted a little bass amp emulator for my Android phone. That worked out well, I like the sound of the B15 on it (written in stone inside hardware - phone app is just to make adjustments). I had always wanted the Miroslav collection since reading about it back when he created it (was fan of his bass playing in Mahavishnu Orchestra). I was amazed when I saw because I had bought the iRig UA that I could buy the full Miroslav 2 for $130 in 2017 as crossgrade with Jam Points. Then because I'm frugal I went the Custom Shop route to buy SVX and Fender 1 so I had some decent amp sims for amps I would use. Because of all the above steps I got to the IK Buyer 101 level. Over on the Cantabile forum I defended the confusing IK marketing as something you can sort out and if you wait for sales you can get the products at very affordable prices. I posted a link to this thread there calling it a college level course on the Group Buy

Thank you for confirming that. It would be very confusing for existing IK customers (used to seeing only crossgrade prices for products) to see only free products at "non crossgrade" prices and therefore not available,

Have read entire thread. I didn't know that Peter_IK was a fan of specialty Italian foods. I highly recommend he try Rummo Pasta . I'm about to enter the GB and have a question. I bought 200 Gear Credits using Jam Points to get it down to $112. I thought I was going to buy MODO Drum with those but was mistaken that it was available in the Custom Shop. At first it looked like I had a real problem because I've got Total Studio Max and AmpliTube 5 SE plus a bunch of Custom Shop Amps I started out with. Then I looked into SampleTron which I want to buy. If I buy that at $199 I should be able to get MODO Drum as a free product correct? EDIT - I see that I'm always seeing MODO Drum at $199 price because it's a Crossgrade - I probably need to make it my first purchase don't I?

Hi abacab, I also purchased the Total Studio Max bundle last year. I later decided to get an Axe IO Solo so bought it as a bundle with AT5 so my incremental cost for AT5 SE was about $50. My current favorite bass amp sim is the Aguilar 750 from AT5 (NY Bass). The Axe IO Solo has worked out to be one of the best studio purchases I've made. Guitars and basses play and sound better through it. A nice bonus was windows sound sources keep playing even after I load Reaper.
