Yes, I still had the old Custom Shop, and it's now been uninstalled. Apparently the new one did not replace it, so the only way for me to access it was to launch it from the AmpliTube app. Weird?

Yes, and when buying Gear Credits at the IK website, be sure to use as many Jam Points (up to 30%) for the purchase as you can, to drop the price even lower!!!

I think it's a bit more convoluted than that. I discovered a couple of versions of CS installed. one thinks that I have 165 GC, and the other says 15...

Spam?

I have both, and I believe that each can serve a useful purpose without too much overlap.

That's what you think! But whether you realize it or not, you have already been bitten by the GAS bug. So you will spend money whether you want to or not! Resistance is futile! ?

No, not "that" Custom Shop". That's for SampleTank CS. This "Custom Shop" => https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/amplitube5cs/?pkey=amplitube-5-cs To get to the Custom Shop purchase page, download and run Amplitube 5 CS, then click on the button at the top right labeled "Custom Shop". Under you user name, you will see a pulldown menu with option to "Redeem Credits Code". This is where you put the 20 digit code from the IK store to redeem your GC. Then you can buy anything in the CS up to the amounts of GC you have available. Confusing, right!

I edited my earlier post to correct that. My bad for trying for a quick answer.

In my opinion, MixBox is best inserted as a channel strip to a track. Instantly call up an FX chain preset. So it's a fairly quick and easy way to shape the sound on an instrument. Think of it more like an Amplitube effect for instruments other than guitar, like keys, synths, and samplers. The module controls are simplified to just what you need to work fast. Great for musicians that just want to lay down a track. T-RackS would be better on a send bus, or for mastering. But you could do either with either, just thinking of workflow here... The controls on T-RackS are more detailed and comprehensive, thus will require more study and understanding. Not really for average musicians writing and recording a song, but more applicable for mixing and mastering.

I missed that you were thinking of getting an instrument, rather than Amplitube. Only certain things can be bought with GC in Custom Shop. Syntronik ain't one of them. You could step up to a higher level of Amplitube or T-RackS, for instance. Edit: to correct misinfo about Custom Shop. It looks like they also now have select SampleTank instruments in Custom Shop. My bad earlier! Syntronik is in there!

I believe he was referring to stacking 200+50 GC in Custom shop, and buying in at the $249 level with a single purchase there.

Now you are cooking with GAS!!! LOL!!! ?

I realize that, and even discussed that option in an earlier example. But @huskeras a new customer, has no Jam Points yet, so I didn't mention that in my reply to his question. Great point though!!! I did something like that myself, and it worked. So now I have 2 qualifying products, and 10 freebies!!! ?

Don't pay the full $199 for Amplitube 5!!! Buy 200 Gear Credits for $159.99, and then use them to buy Amplitube 5 in the Custom Shop using GC for the $199 level. Buy Gear Credits here => https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/index.php?R=INIT&FV=all-credits-family-related-products&CV=Other Filter&PSEL=allcredits

Like this? ?

Yup, as long as what you buy is in the official qualifying products list. Here => https://www.ikmultimedia.com/25gb/#products Hey, this post qualified for a page #29. Yay!

Well that didn't work...

Just trying to bump this thread up to 29 pages... 683 more till 6 free products!!! ?

PluginGuru did a show and tell with Origin last Saturday during his weekly YouTube Livestream. He digs it! Groovy dude!

Hope you are not driving and texting... ?

Sounds like you have already started on the beer...without us, LOL!!! ?

My only gripe is that the Resonator was not included as one of the freebies. Looks like I may have to fork over $35 out of pocket for that one... ?

But they are so good! And come with an extra warm and fuzzy feeling when you get great deals on them!

Buy Gear Credits at the IK website using your Jam Points. For example, you could buy $150 of GC for $135.99, and if using up to $40 in Jam Points, that gets you 150 GC for $95.99 out of pocket. Now head over to Custom Shop to register your code and see what 150 GC can get you! Then after your purchase in CS, head back to see your freebies added to your IK account at the $150 level!

Some great old footage! Thanks!
