ML Sound Lab already got my money, but I'll probably never buy another product from them just because of their marketing strategies. They recently had a 50% off sale, and for a whole month they sent out two emails every single day about it. It was nuts... just waaaay too much.
wow, so they did.
I didnt even notice.
Yeah their MkV is pretty spot on.
Yip. So I was (and guess I still am) a fan of their products, so I signed up for the mailing list so I get notified about new products and sales... but come on nobody wants to receive 60 emails in a row about the same thing. It's not "marketing", it's actually much closer to harassment.
I tell everybody who will listen to avoid them like the plague now.

I receive about that many emails from Waves and Plugin Alliance.

those two aren’t really known for reasonable marketing

I didn't want to reply, because the thread's getting a bit derailed, but yes, I get a lot from Waves and Plugin Alliance, but it's maybe one email every two or three days, and yes, even that's too much, but each one is normally justified. Each email is a different subject, for example: Day one: Here's a $20, voucher, day two: Your $20 voucher can be used again, day three: Sale extended... Or whatever, at least they loosely justify the need to send out another email... but 60 emails in 30 days saying "Black Friday Sale. 50% off" with nothing new just the same thing over and over is nuts.

Yes, Waves and Plugin Alliance only send out emails when something is on sale for $29.99

IK appears to have stopped charging VAT to UK customers at the beginning of 2021. At least, everything I've bought from then since then has not attracted VAT and when I go to the checkout the MB2 price comes up as €79.99.

EDIT - same problem in Safari.
I had similar problem, are you clicking on the red "BUY NOW" button or on the green €99 under the product? Took me while to remember the BUY NOW button does nothing.

Disappointed to see I couldn't use my Jam points
Ah thanks - how silly of me to think BUY NOW would be the way to BUY NOW.

So it's just a $20 discount, and yes, no Jam Points. We have to add the VAT on in the UK too.

Maybe you could buy gear credits, use jam points and buy in the custom shop.

By the way, I wanted to purchase gear credits but now I see that there are no more discounts on them

They stopped discounting gear credits under about $150 years ago but I see they've stopped discounting all credits now. Quite honestly I can't see the point of gear credits now.

Damn it!!.. I just TS Max 3.5 and Syntronik 2, no room left in the budget now. I wonder if they accept kidneys or spleens??

Nope. Pop-up still coming up every time AmpliTube is loaded as a VST.
And no checkbox anywhere to be found.

Just curious - does anyone know when the $20 discount for Mesa 1 owners will expire?

In addition, has it been confirmed that you can neither use Jam Points nor Gear Credits to buy Mesa 2?

No idea when it expires but if you apply the discount, you can't use jam points. And from my experience, you can't remove the discount either!

AmpliTube MESA/Boogie® 2 available now
