And trying to use the 'Buy' link gave an error, but it swallowed the $30 in jam points I entered for the promo code

so unless it resets, I am out $30 in points for trying.

On my user account online, it says the following:

Promo Code Not Used 13-09-2015 $ 30

Anyhow, HELP! Thanks.

I recently used Jam Points to buy Gear Credits in the Custom Shop.
Keep in mind that you can only use Jam Points for up to 30% of the transaction.

Edit, just saw your next post......ouch!

If you use the checkout option 'buy' it gives you a coupon code field where you can redeem jam points. Anyhow, at this point I just need my $30 in JPs back since the store had a hiccup. If for some reason these two items are not allowed to be used together, then ok. All I'm trying to do is preorder

I'll just have to wait if the two can't be used together. I just bought jam points tonight thinking I'd be able to use them with the points so it would kind of suck for me, but oh well.

If I would have bought the 75 gear credits instead I would have been set I think. This is what I don't like about these credits/jam points/cash thing

You often don't know what you need to buy until it is too late. It would be better IMO with just straight cash sales.

You would need to buy a $50 credit pack. You would use your Jam Points to buy the credits. 30% of $50 would be $15 off. So for $35 you could pre-order in the Custom Shop.

Well, if that's the case the new users better REALLY like Marshall tones or else they're hosed.

It's not the quantity of amps, it's the lack of versatility. How about this for 5 starter amps:

1. Fender Twin or JC120 (for cleans)
2. AC30 or Bassman (for clean to dirty)
3. Brit Plexi (for classic Marshall)
4. JCM 800 (for modern-ish Marshall)
5. Triple Rectifier/Engl/Bogner (one of those for modern high gain)

At least there, it's more than just Marshall tones. Look at S-Gear, it's 5 amps, all covering different amps/tones. 5 flavors of Marshall isn't the most versatile setup in the world. I'm a Fender amp guy personally (in fact, my Twin Amp is in the shop now getting some much needed repairs).

I'm definitely in the less is more camp myself, but it's gotta be a nice cross section of amps if you're going that route.

All those AMPS already exist in other AT3 collection. The real question is are those older AMP heads being remodeled up to the standard of the new MESA collection?

The answer was no. So, I'm sure you can assume that newer versions of those amps will pop up in the CS to replace the older models as time goes by.

The answer should be yes.

A select number of the more popular AMPS in older collections (the four Funkybot listed) should be remodeled with current Mesa technology and added to their respective collections.

The answer is NO, they have not done this. The only new models are the Marshalls. He's already said that the rest of the models have not been changed.

However, I'm sure you can assume that they will show up in the CS in the future.

I'd still like to know what cab room features will exist in the free AT4 CS when I restore my prior gear purchases. Would be nice if IK provided details on this since Peter had already confirmed that there will be a free AT4 CS and that at least some of the cab room features will be included. I don't care about the new amps or tuner or looper or acoustic sim, all I want are the new cab features. If I can get those free, great.

When new more precisely modeled AMPs are Custom Shop only it diminishes the value of the existing collections. Fender collection is already dedicated to Fender Amps. Orange collection dedicated to orange Amps etc. How many new Fender and Orange amps do you want to have that are not included in the collections?

The only alternative is a V2 of the existing collections, but that is a ton of amp remodeling work.

This is no different that redoing the silver from the slash collection. This was inevitable when they went the CS "piece by piece" approach of microtransactions. I don't necessarily like it, but I was just restating information that was already provided to people who ask the same question that has been answer 42 times in the thread already.

Also keep in mind that they could do something similar to the bonus credits thing like they are doing with AT4. Something along the lines of adding credits to your account if you already have the Fender collection when they come out with new Fender models. Again, I don't like the CS thing, but they figured out a way to do the app store approach for desktop plugins, so we are stuck with it.

I believe the Fender, Orange and Z amps were already using the new technology anyway. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember the Fender collection being the first with this 'new' modeling technology.

I have the Fender collection. It's pretty old.

Amplitube 4 is here!!!!! ......well almost.....
