Amplitube next models? What will they be?

[Integratron]

T-Rex Octavius
http://proguitarshop.com/store/effects- ... ius-p-2217

Sounds like one of the best octave pedals I have heard in recent years. Very good tracking, with hardly any artifacts, and can do low and also HI octaves. Simple controls too.

Please say you will model this, if IK is doing any more T-Rex pedals.

There was a thread a few months back about wanting a good Boss OC-2 emulation. I think the T-Rex pedal has that beat.

I WAS considering getting an Octavio - I'll just wait until IKM models this baby! So sweet! Thanks for the link Metalifuxx!

Uh oh........a viable solution :chinscratch:??

Man - could I use a Leash! Do you have this piece hibidy?

you should also check Tew Weber attenuators, they use a speaker motor instead of resistors which makes a huge difference. But alas they have more than one knob, mine has ohm selection, by pass and zero, 3db or 6db treble boost to the speakers (which I see as a good thing) and they also can run as a dummy load.

In the other thread, here another rep from IK clearky states in the last line that IK sacrifices performance (which I consider quality YMMV) for quantity.

That's the direction the want to go in which is fine by me and seems to please a lot of customers...it's a business and businesses are about making money. It doesn't mean they lose me as a customer nor is it bashing IK because it's their business not mine.

I am taking the same approach. I voiced my frustrations about price and performance and now, it's up to them if they want to listen. If not, no hurt feelings for me. The models sound fantasic so, I threw down for a 70 credit purchase in Custom Shop to give the new approach a chance. The price point isn't quite right for me (based on being a repeat customer and what competitors offer by comparison) but...I'm hangin in for a while to see if it's worth the premium.

I never did receive jam points for my custom shop purchase. I posted a support ticket 12 days ago and PMed Brian. Still, no jam points. Oh well, it's only $5 anyway...

So far, the new sounds impress me quite a lot (the Soldano really delivers and is the best out so far); the new pricing scheme and customer support? Ummm, not so much

This is the most appropriate time to reiterate...ymmv

I haven't downloaded 3.5 yet but it has nothing to do with IK, it's a cross between laziness and life. I doubt I will but many models though, the concept is not all that new. But instead of one model other companies offered packs, like jamstix* for instance and line 6. It also compares with iclone for 3d animation, you can buy packs of all types, I bought quite a few of the iclone add ons but I seem to slowing on the concept because with other software I'm learning how to create the same things I'm buying (or using google 3d warehouse). Not unlike learning how to carve out a tone you want with a sim.

I'm confident that right now I can achieve any tone I want with what I have and tbh that's fum for me. I'm equally confident that I will hear or see something that changes my mind and I'll be saying "okay, NOW I have everything I need to achieve the tones I need".



*with jamstix I want the bonzo add on (or whatever it's called), I have the money now (it's only 50 bux) but I keep finding excuses not to get it, one day I'll get it...maybe if he offers a promo or something. I suspect that IK will throw some deals out there in the future and I'll be all over them if I like them. Right now I am just in the perfect position to be able to sit back and wait.

There's been some buzz around the IK watercooler about quite a few new acquisitions... some pretty amazing amps are in the pipeline!

Your 1st priority should be an offline activation system for the New Amps and stomps. That means updating the standard IK Webstore to relect the new products in Custom Shop.


Your 2nd priority should be a solution to the RAM bloat problem (a problem each new Custom Shop addition is going to exacerbate.)

Fixed that for you.

AmpliTube isn't like other amp sims. We need more power to accurately model some of the gear. AmpliTube 3 is endorsed by Fender, Orange and Ampeg amongst other companies and many more still coming. Above all we focus on the sound even if it takes a bit more power to run. Thats what keeps us ahead.

So what is this x64 people keep talking about??

you're right, quality was the wrong choise of words and I apologize I should have stuck to performance...there's still a scarifice though and just because it's endorsed by any company makes no nevermind to me...I'm quite clear on this and quite emphatic on this...I do not buy names...I dont buy signature models because of who played it, I dont buy amps by the name (nor do I sims) and to be brutaly honest I dont want the opinion on my playing from anyone who will base it on the gear I use.

I buy what works for me, less models and better performance works for me. So in my case authenticity of the tone does not mean better quality either, it's just marketing at that point. Please take note that never once have I said anything against how AT sounds in fact really what I am saying is as far as tone goes AT is already so good I do not need it to be improved.

I'm not sure I buy the we 'need' more power to get the job done though, I'm not a programmer though so take it for what it's worth...but I do know I have other sims that get the sounds I want using less power and some of those elude to what model they are instead of being endorsed by said company. I do not need someone else to tell it's the tone I want, I've got a pretty good handle on how to get that tone all by myself

This has been decided against. We are not going to be offering offline activation for à la carte Custom Shop purchases. So it is not a priority, sorry. We understand that this may cause some people to decide against purchasing new AmpliTube models.

[hibidy]

And no offense to those against it, I honestly understand the objection, but can't we please now just stop? It's not going to happen, it's gonna piss some people off, it's probably not fair BUT we've gotten the official answer and I'd like to (hope I'm not the only one) put a lid on it.

[zerocrossing]

In the dust of all the new model praise I'd like to add that the addition of the ability to assign more than one parameter at a time to my Stealth Pedal is awesome.

[Brian @ IK Multimedia]

Hink, Obi is correct. We don't cut corners in our DSP models. We have always aimed for the top rung on the ladder. We make models for people who want the best available, with no compromises.

However... we DO offer lower quality DSP modes - note the HI, MID, ECO settings - so we can provide the best modeling solutions at each DAW level.

[Brian @ IK Multimedia]

@teasing:

Sorry for the tease, hibidy, but I can't give away any hints to what the new amp we just got might be just yet. All I can tell you is it might be the high water mark of all our amps to date.

[hibidy]

Oh great, it will be 6 months + before I can get my coveted bad cat
