Really depends what you're into. I use the Mark III and the Transatlantic mostly. I'm not really a metal guy. 1

aidan o driscoll Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Bought it ... at that price its a no brainer, generally speaking the reviews are excellent
Guest Fret Flintstone Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 You should like it, hope so, doesn't have to be metal, you can pull back them horses and still sound excellent.
Peter - IK Multimedia Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 People also tend to be surprised (with the real amp, and the virtual equivalent) of the clean headroom in the rectifiers too. But I love the non-rectos in this collection quite a lot, I'd say I prefer those overall for myself too. 5
Guest Fret Flintstone Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Yeah, Peter is back, I was thinking there for a while the Forum had killed you ? Nah, I hovered over your Icon/username now and then and seen you were still visiting ? Edited March 11, 2021 by Fret Flintstone

aidan o driscoll Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) BTW .. I just got the detail. I registered it via both auth manager and product manager .... I cannot find it anywhere. Not in Amplitube 5 either Aha .. it only appears in Amplitube 4 which I did not bother reinstalling EDIT - its finally appeared in 4 and 5 .. took a while after regging for some reason Edited March 12, 2021 by aidan o driscoll

His tone is not exactly what you think of when you think of that amp.
aidan o driscoll Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) @Peter - IK Multimedia Once authorised on one system through auth manager and product manager does the same thing have to be done on a second system? Is it already "installed" and only have to open Amplitube 4 or 5 to see? And while I have you ... Whats with Amplitube 4 and 5? Do you need both? Does 5 pick up all thats in 4 .. owned etc? If so do you need 4 installed? Why is there an Authorization Manager AND IK Product Manager which both accept serial and registration? Do we need both? And the CUSTOM SHOP .. why that? Its crazy stuff .. is there a simple single procedure to install stuff .. even one on the way? Edited March 12, 2021 by aidan o driscoll

Its crazy stuff .. is there a simple single procedure to install stuff .. even one on the way? IK Product Manager is the simple single procedure for which you're asking. You don't need to touch Authorization Manager (it's mainly for legacy purposes) or Custom Shop at all to install and authorize AmpliTube 5 (the current version, thus 4 might need any legacy tools as mentioned). Custom Shop is there for trying/buying of gear purposes. All you need to do is use IK Product Manager to install and authorize your AmpliTube 5 and other products. If you have an issue where that is not happening, the IK Support team would be happy to assist you to find out what's going on. And of course you need to install and authorize on a second system. It isn't a dongle, so you'll need to use IK Product Manager to do so on the second system. 13 hours ago, Magic Russ said: I was surprised to find that Michael Gurley of dada uses the dual recs.

aidan o driscoll Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Thanks @Peter - IK Multimedia .. Do I need Amplitube 4 installed if I have Amplitube 5? Does the latter pick up all my stuff from 4 anyway? Also .. do you reckon IK will ever change this thing of a time limit on downloads you purchase before you have to pay again for a download token type thing? Many dont like this out of principle, seems to be unique to IK?
telecode 101 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) all those early Prince tones were on mesa boogie marks. http://www.guitarcloud.org/equipment/mesaboogie-mark-ii ? Edited March 15, 2021 by telecode 101
Grem Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 I have a Boogie MK IIB. Love it!! Never wanted to get the mod to Mk II C +. I like it as it is. No Reverb or Graphic EQ.

I doubt it would end up unlimited, but I'm trying to get this policy reconsidered and changed in some way. Edited March 14, 2021 by Peter - IK Multimedia 4
