Been waiting for this :)

It's a demo.  So how do we upgrade?
Surely we don't "buy" again?

Anyways, I played with some of the presets,
and it's not very impressive to me...not like
S-Gear is...I'm sure it could be tweaked to
get better sound...but not really impressed...

Well at least you got your Redeem code, did you get an Email ? When did you get it ? Maybe I'm not getting one, but I don't mind waiting for the official release, I am certain it will be worth it.

Yeah I signed up

Hopefully they can hire someone who can make a 'buy it now' button.

I see. Sack him now then. His work is done.

Did you get S-gear in the end Larry?

Yes...I got S-Gear back in Dec before the price went to $129...
His lack of "Sales" made the $99 price the "Sale" before the $129
price.  

To me, that program is the standard by which are all others
are judged.  The Amps and Effects are outstanding...

I own Bias, and it's good...but I think they are barking up
the wrong tree making current owners pay full price...
that's just not very good "marketing"...

Beats everything else by a mile for me. Probably the best 99 I have spent.

Completely agree...even the effects are amazing...

I'd happily pay the $199 or $260AU(Whatever) for Bias FX Pro, if I only got my redemption code
 
I was blown away with S-Gear 2 when I first got it, but there was just something about it that I didn't end up using it much. I much prefer Bias Pro or even Re cabinet 4, I usually still go for TH2 (Full) to be honest, maybe because of it's comprehensiveness, a complete package, effects etc all built in, plus I love the sound, and familiarity, I have spent a lot of time with it getting it to sound like I want. S-Gear 2 is for me unfortunately becoming like Revalver 4, something I never touch, but keep updating and buying the addons that come along, but still never use. I'll have to crack S-Gear 2 open again for a play around.
 
It's good to have a choice, sometimes I find I do a bit of messing around with say GTR3, and find that I start creating something, and as I go along I may try replacing it with one of the others, however for that project will end up staying with GTR3 because nothing else fits as good. I have heaps to to choose from, all the big players and a lot of the not so big players, and usually mess around with them all a bit now and then, but S-Gear 2 has been neglected, not quite to the stage of Guitar Rig 5 or Amplitube 3 (Of which I sadly have everything available), just think they are crapola.
 
Now come on Positive Grid, send me my code, I want to give you my money . . .
 
[Edit] fix some dribble

Here's the response I received to my inquiry about upgrades

Nothing really...sucks for them...they're going to lose customers...

I purchased BIAS FX Pro, and I must say I really like it, there are some freaking sweet sounding amps and stuff in there, (not just for high gain, which there are very nice ones) some of the Fender type stuff and 'lo'er gain amps with a bit of low to mid breakup going on are so sweet. For the most part the effects are great, it has gone a little TH2 with the splitter etc. Same as BIAS Desktop Pro, loads a little slow, slow changing presets, but nothing over the top.
 
Love it, love the whole tone cloud thing Positive Grid has set up for for both BIAS Desktop Pro and BIAS FX Pro, just so much awesome sounding stuff from all different styles right there at your fingertips, just audition/download and enjoy,  awesome.

It's another product on it's own basically, it does compliment BIAS desktop, I was quite happy to pay the $199 ($270 AU) for BIAS FX Pro, well worth it.
 
I'm very happy with BIAS Desktop Pro and Bias FX Pro, the amount of quality amps and effects you get with BIAS FX Pro (Pro 60 amps 52 effects) is well worth it, and the sound is gorgeous, those lower gain/Fender Plexi etc, (and not just Fender) type sounds I mentioned above, blow away S-Gear in my opinion, so sweet, and some of the High Gain stuff is just awesome, cleans can be deliciously sparkling or as thick as you like. I think it is an excellent compliment to BIAS Desktop Pro
 
S- Gear is most certainly not better, not in my eyes and ears anyway. I haven't touched it in quite a while preferring stuff like BIAS Pro, Recabinet 4, Vandal, TSE, (even regained my appreciation for Revalver, albeit 3.5 over 4) and of course my long time go to TH2. For me S-Gear has pretty much been relegated to the back seat with the likes of Amplitube and Guitar Rig, just don't get the urge to fire them up, and that in itself is telling.
 
But I guess things sound/feel/suit each individual differently, good to have choice though, as long as you are happy with what you got and use, others opinions really don't mean diddly.

It's basically the same program with the FX...that's not a new product to me...

I have the standard version as I have no need for Amp Matching.

I've been using the Demo, and it's basically the same program with
effects and mods...basically an upgrade to the existing version...not something
entirely new IMO...

You may consider this a new product.  I do not...you say potato
I say patato...
