Joe Bonamassa amps coming to IK (not a deal yet!)

[Greg]

Gotta love Joe Bonamassa. He knows his gear.

Yep. I got his last two Epiphone guitars, a 59 reissue "Lazarus" and an red  ES-335. But play and sound excellent.

I also have two tickets to see him at the Saenger Theater in NOLA in March.

Maybe they will start a new range? AmpliHoarder.

I like Joe but he doesn't half like to hoard amps and guitars. The only person with more is Norm.

I've got a client who (along with Tim Pierce) meets occasionally at JB's house.

This client once accidentally bumped into his hanging 59 Les Pauls (swinging like wind-chimes).  ?

Note that these aren't reissue '59 LPs (which would still be $7-10k per guitar)... but the real thing.

Talk about a brief moment of panic!

 

In all seriousness, I wish IK would Capture JB's amps with ToneX.

I saw Joe in concert a few years ago at a performing arts center. Quite a show. Have loved his music and guitar playing for years. One of the best!

This, the word modeling isn't what I was hoping for in the description - profile with ToneX is what we want.   Perhpas as an add-on - or better still - free tone profiles.

Yes, they did profile a dumble he used to own (in the max collection) - but 1) he got rid of it 2) he has a lot more in the stable to offer.  ?

Why wouldn't they do that? Have a amp sim for AT5 and a ToneX sim?

A finanical decision.

TONEX isn't setup right now to offer a "store" to purchase adons.  Peter mentioned before that the gear in MAX (such as his old Dumble) will not be available to purchase as a pack/ala carte.  

So they would need to change the model or simply add to to MAX to encourage people to go "all in" for the whole TONEX package.

AT5 is easy monitization.  Joe B models for "x" dollars.

 

TONEX is the tech I hope they use, but at the same time have no interest in "Max" prices though I do love the TONEX stuff.
