I just love GEAR! Check out these IK pics

Hi Dean, Funkybot,
looks like a MetalHead for sure.
The position of the pots (2 rows with a space in the middle) are rather typical, as is that whateveritis on top.
Many thanks for the catch !
All that modernistic crap, nobody needed that to play "Honky Tonk" or "May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose" back in the days ...
Lol,

I added the Metalhead to my condensed list but I'm starting to get the feeling that everything on page 60 won't be in this product. Based on page 60 alone, this mystery product would include a good portion of AT Fender, and why would IKMM want to cut into those sales?

Anyway, it's just a suspicion.

Afaik there was some kind of statement before that not all shown gear might be included / not all included gear might be shown.
Maybe it's best to keep and maintain both lists, mine for identification and yours for speculation about included content ?
All that said, some stuff has been indirectly confirmed or is highly probable going by common sense, e.g. why show the Orange or Mk3 if they won't be included ?
I don't see a way of telling which of the previously modeled gear will be redone or maybe even included unchanged.
Ymmv,

The list of what's in each picture is fine, my list is trying to condense it so there's no duplicates and it's easier to digest. The stuff I'm not sure about is listed with a question mark anyway. The rest of the list I think we're pretty solid as being the gear shown in the photos.

And it's all technically speculation at this point as IK has no official announcement. I mean, we don't have anything to go off other than the photos and Peter and Squids teasers, so if the product didn't match this list 1:1, I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyway, I'm still convinced this new product is AT3. I'm still sure that we'll see some new models of previously modeled gear (the Vox AC30) as well as some new amps/heads. But I don't think everything we've seen in this Facebook album will be included (though it would be nice). For instance, that effect pedal board is huge and I would think that would get scaled back, and I don't think we're getting all those Fender amps in page 60. But again, all speculation.

I'm sure that IKMM is just tickled pink that we're still talking about whatever this is.

Sounds reasonable to me.
Re Fenders, I don't think ATF is the end all be all Fender package, as great as it is.
-- apparently Fender wanted to represent their current line so some undisputed classics have been left out, I wouldn't turn down a revisited BF Super for example, a ToneMaster or some BrownFace amp
-- for similar reasons a few vintage Fender cabs with warmer, more realistic response might indirectly "upgrade" the ATF without messing with Fender's vision
-- the Tweed Bassman doesn't have the mixable inputs , so some tweed amp with both inputs might be cool, same for Marshalls btw.
All imho and pure speculation, of course.

Whew, a lot more to digest as we wind down... oops. Well, there's still stuff coming, but this is the bulk of it for sure.

As you guys are mostly thinking, not every single piece of gear in these pics will be in but when I look at it there's a surprising percentage that will be in there. The best I can say is that you probably won't see everything from the pics that are smack full of gear. Squids' pics don't count for identification or what will be in there either - though those pics are awesome.

You are doing REALLY well. Oh, and Funkybot's Evil Twin - we will only cut into Fender and replace it when you are able to get it in a promo just to mess with you! Seriously, though, that's such a nice plume in our cap we wouldn't cut into but could always add some more classic Fender amps since we've done it before and I'd say there's always a chance we'd do it again.

Hi Peter,
sounds like good news to me !
Understood that the "big" photos just show part of your "warehouse" , maybe some stuff in the other pics, too.
Doesn't matter much imho, looks like a mighty fine package all in all !
Cheers,
susiwong

The little voice inside my head urges me to politely ask for more data on that backwards gizmo on top of the BiValve ...
Impossible to identify by this pic alone imho.
And one other "global" question :
Do you expect us to identify the non-guitar/bass gear in racks or elsewhere, too ?
I hope not ...
Not talking about the Leslie and stuff, of course.

Glad i could help @ Susi and Funkyb's Evil Twin for your respective lists (sounds like a good idea to each have a list with a different purpose but aiming for the same eventual goal)

On Pic 60 They Had Definately just moved stuff around to confuse us all! Thats how i came to the conclusion that it must be the MetalHead as of the very erm distinctive front panel and the top of the head has a sort of dip in it - so it can only be that amp for sure

@ Peter regarding microphones: That works fine also, i like 57's and i really like EV RE-20's myself Im always sniffing for bargain price new mics that are around that i ain't come accross or new ones that i hear but don't break the bank and that ShinyBox job was in that category So i ain't too exotic or at all elitist with regards to mics as i cant afford to be and well if it works then it works no matter how expensive or cheap is my motto

All the best to you guys and catch up soon

Quite right, Dean. Got to also have those old Radio Shack PZMs in the mic closet, IMO. No shame in that!

Oh, and was there a guess for the amp under the Sunn?

I'm not worried about that happening since I already have AT Fender. In fact, I've got everything in the AT line that's been released since AT2 came out, so if you really want to mess with me, you could always bundle this new product with a Stealthpedal to give me the final excuse I need to buy one of those. That'll show me!

Just don't bundle the two of them after I buy one, or else I'll make this face:

Are you talking about that 212 thing the Sunn head is resting on or about the combo in front of the 810 cab ?
Dunno about the 212, could be a cab or a top loaded combo, maybe by Selmer or something by Sunn, don't know yet.
Or even something completely different ...
The combo - first I thought it's a SF Fender, not so sure anymore.
Could even be the JC120 ...

Under the Sunn head The backward bit on top of the Bivalve can be skipped, though.

Thanks, Peter !
That helps big time, no need fighting windmills !
Hope I'll know more by tomorrow.
At least now we're aware it's an amp, not a cab ...
And then it has to be a top loaded one, it's not a Vox, it's not a Fender - should be possible to get in the ballpark, hopefully.
Selmer ? Sunn ? Stramp ? We'll see.
Thanks again,

Could it be a vintage Supro? I've been surprised that IK hasn't done any Supro or Hiwatt models.

BTW, I was using the Ampeg SVT Classic on guitar last night and once I jacked the gain and found the right (hot) input level, it sounded amazing on both my Tele and my Jazzmaster. What made me try it was someone saying Keith used them for the Get Yet Ya Ya's Out MSG show. Cool sound...

Ok, some Selmer pics quite similar to the ominous 212 in pic 60.

Don't know if it's the solution, obviously another pic might help somewhat.

3 new pics of hibidy's Acoustic cab, complete with AKG and Royer mics
Is it true that hibidy won that cab, local pickup in Italy only ?
