Fleer Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Then allow me to find their phrase "Purchase any of the qualifying products from the IK Online Store or Custom Shop” quite misleading, to put it mildly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I agree with ya Fleer!! I went to my CS and tried to buy SampleTank and it brought me to the website every time I clicked on it!! Nope, no soup for you!! They closed that loophole. From what I can see, they only allow you to use Gear Credits with full priced items. Or only special sales 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 If you have $200 burning a hole in your GAS pocket, maybe there are other deals elsewhere that are more worthy of your hard earned cash. ? I know, freebies are irresistible, but even so there is still an up-front cost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balinas Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Sadly the iRig Keys I/O 49 is NOT one of the qualifying products for this group buy. I did buy it prior to the start of the group sale, and was hoping to register it during the sale to qualify. NO JOY! it does not, and never did qualify for this sale. Only their less expensive controllers qualified, which somehow made sense to IKM, but really doesn't make sense to me. I will certainly have some fun with it, but I think my further software purchases from IKM will be extremely limited, if at all. If anyone knows of a different way to get this to qualify, please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Well, I have to ask myself do I really want 4 products that I don't own, and that I'll probably never use, just to "complete the IK Collection", or do I wait for Total Studio 3 Max sale to buy the upgrade, which will most likely be overpriced at launch...I have one more day to decide... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 And I’ll still be sitting on 300 to 400 Gear Credits and Jam Points. Pissed I am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecode 101 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 if Modo Bass were to go on sale in 2020/2021 on its own, it might go down to 70%% off, right? so that would be around $50 or $60? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 @Fleer Certainly not trying to "rub it in", actually I was going to thank you for pushing it over the top. But, from the Group buy FAQ: CAN I USE MY JAMPOINTS REWARD DISCOUNT TO PURCHASE QUALIFYING SOFTWARE?Yes, loyal users can use their JamPoints when purchasing from the IK Online Store.JamPoints can also be used in the Custom Shop providing the payment is not made with Gear Credits. The fact that basically nothing anyone wants is available in the Custom Shop... that is a pisser t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I am ok that I can't use Gear Credits in this group buy. And now that I think about it, and read the above statement that Tom posted, I don't think I have ever been able to use JP and GC in the same purchase. I tried before. I am thinking IK figures if you bought GC. You used JP to get a deal that way, and are not entitled to get another break on the price. Seems fair to me. But maybe I don't see all the angles. Anyway... 2 more days and over 1k users to go!! IK would have to be very generous to make this go all the way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 But ... but ... I got my Gear Credits for buying expensive hardware like their iLoud and then they have a Group Buy, explicitly pushing their Custom Shop as a place to get in. But when you get in, there’s nothing fancy to get. No Hammond, no MODO, no SampleTank. Hey IK, don’t mention the Custom Shop if you main Group Buy stuff ain’t available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I'm pretty sure we never even implied/hinted that Gear Credits would be valid for iLoud/hardware or anything like that. Gear Credits were rolled out stating that they were for a la carte gear in AmpliTube but people wanted Collections and T-RackS singles using them and that made sense. Hardware and MODO products, etc don't make sense in this context though, so I wouldn't count on ever seeing those for Gear Credits. You can still get some of the more expensive options to get into the Group Buy in Custom Shop for Gear Credits (SampleTank --> Collections if you are interested in seeing those), hence the mention in the news/VI Group Buy page.

Fleer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It was the other way around, Peter. I got 300 Gear Credits with my iLoud but find no use for them. The present Group Buy states in its opening address: "Purchase any of the qualifying products from the IK Online Store or Custom Shop”. So I had high hopes. Only to see them squashed and squandered.

antler Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hey @Fleer - this is irrelevant to the multibuy, but which iLoud did you get? The original, the Micro speaker pair, or the MTMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It goes loud (as its name says) and delivers a natural sound, so also keys and even vocals will work well. Meanwhile, it’s got an iRig interface for your guitars (and AmpliTube FX). Still, also check those newer iLoud monitors. They weren’t around when I got the iLoud.

Fleer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 And while you’re at it, Orange has a tiny Mini amp with speaker for $50 or so, that even allows you to drive a large 12 x 12. Not the Micro, mind you, but the newer Mini. It even looks the part, like a real Orange amp, and throws a mean sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
