I got MB1 in a previous group buy and AT5 and AT5SE (yeah, I ran out of things to redeem) in the last group buy, and the discount showed up for me. However, AT5 was one I purchased via GC. There’s no indication of the discount until checking out. People generally wouldn’t add an item into the cart to be pleasantly surprised by the discount. So, if I didn’t know about it, I wouldn’t have done so (but just to check). Looking up reviews on the amps, they sound compelling (California Tweed), so I’ll be waiting for a future group buy or good sale.

You won’t see the discount until you add it into the cart and check out. At least that was the case for me. You certainly qualify from owning MB1 and AT5.

https://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?item_id=11970 *For a limited time, existing owners of AmpliTube MESA/Boogie 1, AmpliTube 5, AmpliTube 5 SE, AmpliTube 5 MAX and Total Studio 3.5 MAX will receive an exclusive discount automatically when adding MESA/Boogie 2 to their cart.

Picked up the Lindell 80 using the $25 loyalty voucher.

The offer’s still good. Just picked it up to upgrade from Mixbus 6. Version 7 has support for Apple Silicon/M1 (which I now need). I like the workflow, like old school analog mixing consoles. I also want to support a developer supporting an open source project (Ardour) and the Linux platform. My primary DAW is Studio One, but I hope to get familiar with Mixbus this coming year.

From IK Product Manager, it only gives you the option to download and install. But if you go to https://www.ikmultimedia.com/userarea/my-products/, for each product, go to Sounds Download, and manually download. It’s a lot of files for SampleTank 4, though.

I picked it up the other day at PluginBoutique to get a freebie (The Orb). I now have three UJAM drummers: Phat, Heavy, and now Solid.

I needed it myself to keep track of my purchases from previous group buys and especially the Amplitube a la carte freebies. Glad it was useful to someone else.

I’m finding that music apps on iOS/iPadOS are dirt cheap in comparison with the desktop versions, and compelling for a portable performance rig for church. Only thing now is to figure what new device to upgrade to that has enough storage capacity.

For those on iOS/iPadOS, their apps are also on sale. https://appsliced.co/apps/dev/midiculous-llc I picked up: Neo-Soul Keys Studio 2 for $11.99 iFX Rack + IAP for $4.99 + $4.99 BASSalicious 2 for $6.99 Pure Synth Platinum for $9.99 What a deal!

On Arturia's site, my upgrade offer to V Collection 8 from Analog Lab 4 is $249.08 (but I got a free Analog Lab 5 upgrade). But the V Collection 8 page shows $199 with $299 crossed out.

Signed up for it, then checked my account and saw I already had it. heh

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.
