I posted these before in the other thread that was closed ... I created the following spreadsheets (scraped from the documentation and the Custom Shop) to help myself with this group buy. Hopefully you find it useful. IK 25th Anniversary Group Buy (includes X-GEAR and new AmpliTube stomps/amps/cabs/mics): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sfBcas5oIG8CJgDvg2bf0tg8l0pbyg3uZNcgSvgDXbk/edit?usp=sharing AmpliTube (includes X-GEAR tab with all the descriptions): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18qod2xI_wcOjBiFsN7gpv-60BeTyuhEQ-5epfb7IPcE/edit?usp=sharing IK Mixing and Mastering: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a4E8LHS743zJYhQWd8eNdP90ntVKYUXj-3UpIQYvx7c/edit?usp=sharing Yes, I haven't yet created a sheet for SampleTank/Virtual Instruments.

Did you catch that the X-GEAR pedals were recently added as freebie options (since you didn't list them under the new stuff)?

Does it come with ARC? I thought it just comes with the mic? ARC 3 will calibrate with 21 readings vs. just one with the iLoud MTM.

I got the following for under $30: Dayton Audio iMM-6 Calibrated... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ADR2B84?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share aceyoon Trrs Extension Cable 10ft... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093715WVJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share It worked for my laptop if I used it just for the mic, with the audio output going through a different audio interface (not headphone jack). You may need a different adapter depending on what you’re plugging into. In retrospect, I would get this instead but it’s backordered: https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-iMM-6S-iDevice-Calibrated-Microphone-Straight-390-812

Thanks for bringing it up. I'm traveling now so fixing it will need to wait until I'm on a computer (next week).

I also updated my AmpliTube spreadsheet with an X-GEAR tab. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18qod2xI_wcOjBiFsN7gpv-60BeTyuhEQ-5epfb7IPcE/edit

Thanks! I updated my spreadsheet above with the latest gear (yesterday, actually). I also updated the release dates.

Oops, I missed the HiAmp since it didn't show up under Brand in Custom Shop. Added.

I updated my spreadsheet with the new amps, cabs, and pedals. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sfBcas5oIG8CJgDvg2bf0tg8l0pbyg3uZNcgSvgDXbk/edit?usp=sharing Hopefully, you'll find it useful. Please comment on the spreadsheet with any feedback. Thanks!

Just bought Fuchs Train II for $9.99 after $20 voucher. I have AmpliTube 5 + all the collections via the group buy. I now have Suhr, both Fuchs, Chandler, and bx_bassdude. Thoughts on the rest of the PA amp sims?

Here's another spreadsheet I generated by scraping the documentation and Custom Shop (+ a bit of research to figure out models), this time for Mixing and Mastering. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a4E8LHS743zJYhQWd8eNdP90ntVKYUXj-3UpIQYvx7c/edit?usp=sharing If you have any better info on the Based On field, let me know by leaving a comment in the sheet.

That's a high recommendation for it. I appreciate the info since these boutique amps are pretty new to me. I'll have to play more with the Z Wreck I have on AmpliTube iOS and try out different IRs (in Thafknar daisy chained after AmpliTube) to substitute for the cab. Thanks, again.

Thanks for explaining the difference and the education. In my research, I saw they were both Ken Fischer designed amps so I assumed they were similar: https://reverb.com/news/trainwreck-amps-a-history-of-ken-fischers-mythic-circuitry. How's the AmpliTube Z Wreck implementation? It's from 2013.

BTW, here's the list of amps: Hiwatt® DR103™ Head Jet City Amplification 333® JCA100H™ Head Model Jet City Amplification 333® JCA20H™ Head Model Dr. Z Amplification® MAZ 18 Jr.™ Combo Model Gallien-Krueger® MB150S™ Model ENGL® Powerball™ Head Model THD® BiValve™ Head Model Carvin® V3M™ Head Model Dr. Z Amplification® Z Wreck™ Head Model AmpliTube has been my intro to these boutique amps. I have the All-Amps Collection (2019?) on AmpliTube iOS so I've been playing around with them there, but the sound engine isn't as good as on desktop AmpliTube 5 (but I don't really know what I'm missing out on). JCA was designed by Soldano ... don't know how close it is to SLO100, but it seems similar enough that I don't feel I'm missing out. I've also been satisfying my boutique amp curiosity with the Plugin Alliance deals ... Suhr, Fuchs ODS (= Dumble) ... waiting for the next surprise voucher for the Fuchs Train II (Trainwreck, similar to Z Wreck). And I've built a collection of Nembrini amps on iOS as well. Since there's no real inexpensive incremental upgrade path to MAX (have to buy via Custom Shop), and what I have (AmpliTube 5 + all collections) covers pretty much most of the major amp families, I'm satisfied with what I have for now.

Yup. To get the list, deselect all the Collections that are available for purchase, then deselect the checkmark under AmpliTube 5.

I've scraped the AmpliTube documentation and Custom Shop to create the following spreadsheet. Hopefully it'll be useful to others. I discovered that Metal Collection is pretty much incorporated into AmpliTube 5. Use the filters to include/exclude values to narrow down what you have/are missing. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18qod2xI_wcOjBiFsN7gpv-60BeTyuhEQ-5epfb7IPcE/edit?usp=sharing Of course, with the number of freebies, it just makes sense to get them all, but if you don't want to, you can see what each collection gets you. Feel free to comment on the sheet itself if you have suggestions.

The deal is still good. With the purchase of the Suhr PT100, you get another very special (license) offer: Until October 16, you can get ANY (!) of our amp plugins for just $29.99. Step 1: Buy the Suhr PT100 Step 2: Buy ANY (!) of our amps for $29.99

Thanks for the reminder--I had forgotten about that. I'll be doing the same. Got the Fuchs ODS for $9.99.

$199.99 … it’s the retail price of the SKU.

Picked up Cali Reverb (MESA Boogie) and BST100 (Soldano) on iOS for $9.99 each.

You can run the original version on EXS or Halion, or just try it out before buying the MkII version. It doesn’t cost any more if you use the upgrade to get to MkII. That’s what I did—I used it on EXS before I bought Kontakt.

Just install SampleTank 4.

If you have Syntronik, Deluxe should be $99.99. Re: SampleTank 4, see if there are instruments you’re interested in. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/include/st4/soundlist/SampleTank_4_comparison.pdf If you’re already in the $199.99 tier, then it makes sense to pick it up. If not, then SE + the other libraries may be enough. I like the newer standalone libraries (that you can pick up in the GB), and the newer SampleTank 4 instruments which have a bigger footprint than the older ST3 and ST2XL instruments. On my laptop installation, I only install the ST4 libraries.

But does it give you any Jam Points?

Picked this up for $15 net after this month’s $25 voucher. After completing all of AmpliTube 5 collections via the GB and getting a taste of boutique amps (Nembrini Extasy), I want to try out more boutique amps. Maybe I’ll pick up two $29 amps next month with the monthly $25 voucher. Thinking the two Fuchs.
