Hi Guys,
 
I'm not seeing greyed out presets or cabs here. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Can you give me a specific name to look for so I can check it out better.

Hi Guys,

It's the "Speaker" options that you don't have all of RT...unless you own 
"all" of the available Cabinets already. There are several cabinets that I don't own,
and therefore those speakers show up as Transparent (not available).  You have to
own the cabinet that contains the speaker for it to show up on the list.  I don't have
any presets "greyed out", just when you select one that you don't own "all of the equipment"
used to make it it tells you "you don't own "whatever" and it will be bypassed...

Thanks John, yeah they showed up and like you it took a while... No time to play tonight so no comments yet...

After playing with A4 for a couple of hours I honestly I can't tell any difference from Amplitube 3. It looks good, but sounds the same. The speaker swapping thing got on my nerves instantly. I much prefer just picking an amp with matching cab and moving mics around. I guess for those who want or need a looper...well, it has one.
On the bright side. I've always liked Amplitube, so sounding the same isn't the end of the world...it's just a bit disappointing. S-Gear is still king.

Also...where is the new super accurate tuner? The one I used looked just like the old one.

You select the tuner in the signal chain thingy, then down the left towards the bottom (above input level) you select 'Ultra Tuner' or 'Tuner'
 
As for sound, I have been playing around a bit more, and when comparing the Mesa Boogie collection in Amp3 and then Amp4, well to me there is no comparison, it sounds much better to me in AMP4. I don't think I'll be doing hundreds of comparisons, but I will do a few more, and then just put it through it's paces for a couple of days, the weekend is here, then switch over to Amp3 and see what my ears say. Still all in all I am not that impressed by Amp4 as yet, there is no 'WOW'
 

 I read somewhere (KVR, The Gear Page IDK) that you have to manually drag in your old presets and change the extension.
I'll spend more time with it this weekend and see if I change my mind, but first impressions are it's A3 with a face lift. It's a very nice face lift and I do like Amplitube...so I'm not complaining, if it sounds like I am. I've been able to achieve good sounds with A3, A4, S-Gear and my HD500X...so it's a good time to be a guitar player!

$49 is about the right price for this....

IIRC that's just about my net outlay.

there is a 'import legacy preset' thingy in there to import your old presets

Knowing "where" that is would be helpful to a dolt like me.

Well, my first impressions are good. I have been noodleing on my electric baratone dulcimer for the past hour or so and messing with the new routings, amps and the rooms. Somehow it seems to be less noisy that 3, but that's an impression not a A/B comparison. I like the rooms a alot. I also like the acoustic simulator pedal, I would not say its totally realistic but it does give an acoustic quality to the sound which I like.
 
As others have said, not a wow, but a solid update none the less IMHO.

hmmmm, I think the jury is still out, but for someone who didn't have any previous Amplitube gear, the full price of $149 would leave you with a very bare cupboard when compared to what you can get with something like BIAS FX Pro for an extra $50, or TH2 for an extra $20. I wouldn't pay the full price, whether or not it was worth the $99 pre order price, well that's what I am checking out, it is growing on me a 'little' (but so is that rash) and I did say a 'little', it's not terrible, it's just nothing special, and it is better than Amp3, but I didn't think that much of Amp3 so . . . There are some nice sounds to be had, but it's not even close to my preferred sims.
 
It is a good marketing tool, as IK knows and is taking full advantage of, as the good folk here have already worked out, although I see no missing stuff thus far, but I do own everything available prior to release.

Soundwise
Does anyone have Revalver4 along with A4? I wonder how they compare to each other granted you use the same amp/cab/mic/placement/settings...

Yes I have Revalver 4, (and 3  and 3dot5). Well if I had to choose, I would go for Revalver 4, if nothing else just for the tweaking available, however I did find the component tweaking much better/easier in 3/3dot5, but . . . In 4 you have to be able to follow the schematics, but just for simple stuff like changing out the pre or power amp valves can give so much versatility in sound variation. But it all depends on what your ears like, what sounds good to you, %90 of the time I would say Revalver sounds better, the other 10% I may say Amp4 sounds better, 100% of the time I would say BIAS Amp Pro, BIAS FX Pro or TH2 Full sound better ;)
 
[Edit] I remember in Revalver 3dot5 listening to some amps, Orange I think, and thinking these things sound like sh!t, then never using them, them latter on when I had a bit of a mess around in the tweaking section, futzing around power amp valve and bam, my ears were in heaven.
