IK Amplitube 5 has a much better UI and layout than 4, but I find myself looking at the preset count and being unsure if my install is correct. The "Legacy" folder from Version 4 has 1,937 presets in it. The "Amplitube 5 MAX" folder you get when you upgrade to MAX has 33 presets. If you download all the extras they have in the Authorization Manager and add together everything but the Legacy folder it's still less than half of what Amplitude 4 had (~800 total, many of which require gear not included in MAX).
Is everyone else's install the same as mine? I'm wondering if the point of the update was the UI update and the extra gear/effects. It's not that the presets are bad, it's just that there are new Tags like Grunge that only have 4 presets.

You also have to add 20 and 21 presets from Amplitube 5 and Amplitube 5 CS folders which are probably new. I suppose they rely on https://www.tone.net/ exchange presets now

AmpliTube 5 MAX also includes the presets for the array of collections that are included with it, they should have their own folders/structure there too.
But ToneNET is great too, I enjoy going down the rabbit hole of auditioning presets from users.
