Erm, is it possible for me to grab the Ampeg SVX2 Upgrade in the IK group buy and use it in the free version of Amplitube without actually owning SVX2?

If you qualify for the upgrade (if you already have Ampeg SVX 1), yes indeed. Any of the collections are meant to run inside AmpliTube (including the free CS version).

You can check your eligibility at any time at https://www.ikmultimedia.com/userarea/eligibility/

Oh, no, I don't own any Ampeg products. If I could add these bass amps to Amplitube (Free) via the Group Buy I'd go ahead and grab it but looks like that's a no-go. Oh well! Thanks Peter

Huh? The only Ampeg SVX2 I see in the group buy is the full product, not an upgrade. You don't need to own SVX to get SVX2, do you?

It shows up for me when I'm selecting products.

The plot thickens.

Interesting. So someone doing the GB twice (for example, buying the Fender and Saturator) could get SVX 1 from the $99 tier and then the "upgrade" to SVX 2 at the $79 tier.

Now that’s a plan.

Heads up for anyone who picked up UVI's Digital Synsations for free a while ago. Because it has an RRP of $149 it means the weekend UVI 30% off becomes 41% off on Vintage Vault 2. If you are in Europe you can upgrade to Vintage Vault 2 for 349 euros rather than 419, just need to login to your account to see the offer price.

I'm very tempted, but there's that nagging thing that holding out a couple of months and there'll be a better deal come Black Friday.

Whats up with izotope and their crazy sales last 6 months, not a single week passes by that I dont receive couple of spam mails with their special sales "up to 250$ off" for this, "up to 350$ for this", "your mixes will never sound good until you try and use our products which are 90% of their original price only for next 48h", etc etc???? I just instantly delete anything with izotope in mail subject, dont even read anymore.

...even worse: spamming me to buy products I already own...

If I buy UVI Falcon does anyone know if I can immediately use the $100 off voucher on a purchase of Vintage Vault 2?

[rewthless]

I think so. The day my voucher came I ordered vintage vault but I'd have to track down what 3rd party site I bought Falcon from...
*edit*
The voucher came next day but maybe automagically if you buy direct.

Pretty sure their upgraded flagship Ozone 9 is around the corner.

Bit the bullet and bought direct from the UVI site and yes, bought Falcon first which then meant I got an email with the voucher code and then used that to buy VV2. Man, I hope that covers my GAS for the next few weeks or I'm going to have to sell a kidney.

Is that an option???

There are a BUNCH of sales I'd love to take part in right now but, alas, I cannot.

The sales cycle has ramped up ridiculously just over the last year. That constant feeling of potentially missing out is not good for people with an addictive personality.
