At that bargain price I think it'll be gone almost immediately.
Would you ship to Germany? I am interested!
It sounds like I’m being a complete arse when I say no to this. But unfortunately, no, I won’t ship. I’ve had so many issues with different companies which have lost or broken things I have shipped. As a result, I’ve had to cover the cost of paying the customer back. I’m just not prepared to go through that again.
Just checked with DHL and it would be £100 extra to send it, the. I’m not sure if you’d need to pay import TAX. I’m did that. The UK. It was £65. That means you’d need to pay me £500 for the unit in total including shipping!

No, that is of course completely up to you.
Asking a question I'll accept any answer without hard feelings ;-)
Rates seem to be quite different for the other way around though. If I send to the UK DHL would charge 27€ (insured up to 500€).
I bought a unit from St. Rock originally and regret selling it badly. I've watched the used marked in Germany now for about 1/2 a year and there was only one unit sold and I wasn't quick enough by the time. So I'm a little desperate already. Maybe I'll just have to wait for the next version of the Amperium...
After all I think they made an incredible job with the first unit even with the flaws the unit has. Especially with a small footprint there is nothing on the marked that comes close timewise.
I tried a Fractal FM3 but did not like the workflow and for it's 3 footswitches it is just to big. All the capture players were meh to me as the EQs do not work as expected (especially for Mesa Mark Amps which are important to me). I have a Ampero I Stomp here at the moment but it does not convince me. Maybe I'll have a look to the Nux Amp Academy Stomp (only Mark I) or the Quilter Elevate (cool idea, but maybe to much work to design a tone and somewhat mixed reviews about quality of tone) or just get a HX Stomp (dated and expensive, a little flat in tone). I'm pretty sure that the Amperium would suit my needs the best...

The only unit comparable for amp sounds atm imho is the Dimehead NAM Player. However, it does not have modelling and lacks the range of effects like the Amperium Live does. What the Dimehead NAM Player does have is the lowest latency and Tone3000 website with loads of sounds to download and use. The experience is quite different and is more comparable to trying to find sounds with the Kemper. It does sound excellent though and for tracking/home recording it's awesome.

The Amperium had so much potential, unfortunately it seems to have been abandonded by st.Rock.
Maybe I'll have a look at the NAM player. So fare I have not been a fan of captures/black box modeling as especially with a complex amp like a Mark series the EQ is extremely limited. That is no problem as long as there is a capture available that is very close to what you are looking for. Still I prefere white box modeling for its flexibility (if it works on the level as St. Rock and Fractal have it implemented). On the Ampero II for example the amp EQ just does not do what it does on the real amp (they seem to use a combination of black- and white box modeling as I understand it which might be an explanation).
@Rayzo1975 DHL e-commerce charges 30ish £ for a shipment to Germany. Still you got all my respect if you don't want that. If you change your mind, please give me am PM!

I found it very strange that, just a few months after the release of Amperium, they were already gathering ideas for a successor and abandoned the first version. To be honest, that doesn't generate much confidence in a possible second version.
That being said, I am of course aware of the difficult situation the company is in. I hope @st.Rock is alive and well - I haven't seen him here for a couple of months.
I feel I need to clarify something. I have 2 Amperium Live pedals. I will not be selling the second one, as it is my live setup and I love the sounds and feel and it’s one of the only units I know where you can swap out the poweramp. I have two, one for live work and one in my home studio. This is the one I am selling. I also have the Fractal FM3 in my home studio setup and find myself using that more. I still have an Amperium, I just don’t use the one I have in the studio enough to warrant keeping it.
Just another remark, (as I do), I just wanted to say I have genuinely met some amazing people on this forum. All the people that I’ve spoken to are genuinely amazing people and really thoughtful, compassionate, caring and really understand their craft. I really appreciate being part of a community like that. Just wanted to say thank you guys.
