Ok...you have to ask the question
WHY did IK wait until the product was released AND everyone had already pre-ordered
to come out with the A4 + Mesa and the Deluxe versions? To further add insult to injury
there is no upgrade path to EITHER ONE. We should have, at the bare minimum, had
the opportunity to pre-order these...AND now, since it is "ex post facto" should get
a decent upgrade offer on them...but NOPE...IK screws the pooch again...
The more I see how this company does business the more I dislike them...

I agree.....A4 was just released about a week ago and now we will have to spend a lot more for Deluxe. I think a lot of IK deals/tactics are as complicated as it is, is due to this kind of activity.....next month, all of this will be a GB.  IMO, it's just better to patiently wait for their GB's instead of jumping on it while it's "hot".

maybe I am not seeing this clearly correct me if I am wrong.
is Amp 4 Deluxe not just Amp4 with amp3 content? looks that way to me.
certainly does not contain some of the Custom Shop items like Bottle mic or specialty amps.
why is there not a Amp4 everything bundle. just everything current in CS and all amp3 addons? you know, everything.
I did not upgrade to Amp4. still waiting it out. this just seems like more of the reasons I wanted to steer clear of IK.

That's the way I see it as well. A4 only has 9 amps. With my upgrade from A3 to A4, I basically already have Deluxe because it rolls all of this previously owned Gear into A4. What extra do get with Deluxe beyond already owning it anyway? What am I missing....seems like a mute point.

Amplitube 4 Deluxe is for new customers who don't own anything from A3. I would guess the remaining amps, cabs and effects from A3 will now be Custom Shop items.

I'm sure that is the case...point being...why do something
like this RIGHT AFTER LAUNCH?
Also, the A4- Mesa deal should entitle me to Mesa for $99...
but nope...as I would have gone the extra mile (had the opportunity
been presented me) as it's the only collection I don't own...
Bad business no matter how you slice it...

This concern has already been relayed to see if there's a more global solution for those who had preordered but you can of course also contact support who are willing to help as usual in these cases if you feel you are not able to get the deal that you thought you should have access to. If you do not know where to contact them, click this link and open a ticket: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/mi/

It seems the marketing dept is out of control....not paying attention to how the rest of the world handles new products and upgrades. It's really NOT rocket science, anyone owning the latest version should get a discount compared to brand new users. I won't debate what that should be, but it should at least be a nod to older faithful users of its products.

I don't see any indication that the A4 Deluxe amps, other than the British Collection, are anything other than the old existing A3 models. They are not re-worked versions expressly for A4. I do, however, agree that if the content from A3 has been axed down to what I see that a new customer is going to be putting more money on the table for the same amps we got in A3. I really think the value point for buying A4 is not near as strong as it was for A3, as far as content. This is going to hurt sales I'm sure.
I'm still waiting for the upgrade to get ALL the 29 speakers we were supposed to get. IK said they would fix that. Maybe they will fix this as well. Time will tell. Meanwhile, I wait for the other shoe to drop which will be ALL A3 amps have been re-worked for Hyper-Realistic performance and you will have to re-purchase all amps in the Custom Shop to benefit from A4! I hope it doesn't go that way but I sure suspect something along those lines.

I believe Pete mispoke...those 29 speakers are ONLY available if you own everything OR buy the deluxe Package... not just in A4...

It appears that with IK, there is no longer such a things as an "everything" product. How else would you spend more money with them?

This has been covered elsewhere (I believe elsewhere on this forum, too). 29 speakers were supposed to be unlocked with AmpliTube 4 regardless of what you owned or didn't own before. This is being fixed (currently being tested) and the update that has all 29 speakers for AmpliTube 4 users (even brand new installs) will be posted in your IK User Area tomorrow as long as there are no blockers with the build.

http://www.ikmultimedia.com/jampoints/ (including a 20 JamPoint bonus for long-time users of AmpliTube who purchased before September 2012) provided a discount for loyal users who wanted to preorder AmpliTube 4. With JamPoints, users were able to save up to 30% on the already-discounted preorder pricing. AmpliTube 4 Deluxe is aimed at new users who don't have AmpliTube 3 already (since they'd already have the extra gear). If you are a new user who preordered but would have ordered AmpliTube 4 Deluxe instead of the AmpliTube 4 preorder, simply contact IK and someone will take care of your request.

Nice...I was basing it off the fact that we currently DON'T have the 29 unless we own everything, and that Deluxe DOES include 29...I only have 25 Only logical assumption there was...

How so? You have the gear from Deluxe for the same price as (or likely less than - either with JamPoints or promotional pricing on AmpliTube 3) AmpliTube Deluxe? Doesn't sound like a cluster of any kind to me.

Bottom line, if you own A3 (like I do) and got A4 (not Deluxe), what does Deluxe have that I don't (or won't once the 29 cab bug is fixed)?
