Yeah that's really poor making you pay VAT twice. Might just give the whole thing a swerve, already got a tonex pedal and looking through the plug ins available there's not a ton I'd be that interested in.
I am trying to find authorised dealers to comply with the offer but the only ones showing on your site are in Italy and that's not much use to me. Do you have UK dealers at all?
For my country the location finder is not updated and mostly shows a big chain of stores that closed down years ago. And my local store is missing though I would imagine it’s an authorized dealer. The sister shop in the next country over is listed though…
I don't think so, but I was looking for somewhere I wouldn't pay import charges on in the UK.
What mic are you using? ARC X is one of the reasons I was even considering getting in on this group buy. I ended up grabbing the software rather than the bundle with the mic. I was going to just pick up a Behringturd ECM8000 for measuring on the cheap, but not sure how well it will work with the software.
This the one I have.
You really only need the higher level if you're interested in the stock sounds they come with. If you're using packs or user captures, SE is fine. That said, I'd buy ToneX and not the upgrade if you do want it. Then you'll have both licenses and you can transfer your SE license with the ToneX One if you don't keep it, but still continue to have the full ToneX version to use on your computer.
Thank you! That makes sense, I may hold off for a bit to see how far the group buy goes. I presume the Amplitube 5 upgrade is the same deal.
Nice! Out of curiosity why not Amplitube Fender 1?
I really wanted to like Fender 1 but there was something off about it that I couldn’t get over when I demoed it years ago. I haven’t tried it with the new cab/mic setup though, so maybe I’ll snag it if we hit the next tier. Black panel amps are def an area of interest. I also skipped Mesa 1 for the same reason. Those felt dead under the fingers to me.
Try goosing your input level, from memory the Fender stuff needs a REALLY hot input level to sound right. Was quite of an eye opener for me because I couldn’t get anything useful from them (they felt dead and lifeless to me too).
How's the Engl? What's your angle on the Engl?
