...and the goal has been achieved!  http://www.ikmultimedia.com/atgb

There is a new day countdown on IK site, now at "9 day left".  What does it mean?

It looks like it may have been  extended, I was hoping this might happen!
They have done this before on other offers, we may get to another freebie before it finishes.
 
I went with Ampeg as I did not have very much in the way of bass modeling, may end up getting Slash anyway.

Yes, we haven't officially sent out anything and that page needs further updates (the counter is separate to the rest of the page as it is a bit of programming that the IT guys hooked up to the registration system which I know is oh so exciting and worth a terribly long parenthetical explanation :) ).

I have been playing with Orange a Fender for about two weeks now and you should go and tell your friends they've done a very good job with these models.
 
I am sure you aware that most of us here own TH2 (which I like very much too), could you explain is it a coincidence (or not) that IK and Overloud are both from Modena?

Dang it Obi, I had to jump in! You know that i already had Orange and Fender and have been really amazed with those amp models. I have used some variety of Orange on just about every recording since last Summer. So, I jumped in and bought Amp3 and played around with most of those amp models this weekend. All very good, but stand outs for me were the 2 Vox models, the JPM Marshall, and the Fuzz Face pedals.

Then, I used one of my freebies on the Ampeg bass amps. Wow, very nice. Teamed up with my 4003, they sound really sweet. I already tracked bass onto a new song this morning using the SVT. I am smiling. I have 2 more freebies left, so I guess all there is left for me to use them on is Hendrix and Slash. I believe someone mentioned that Metal was already in Amp3. To bad you guys wouldn't bundle the Z amps and let us use one of these on them. If it goes to a 4th freebie, I think I'm out of options. :-)

Metal is in A3 and Ampeg is great. I already have A3, Fender and Ampeg so the sale doesn't help me much. I would like to have Orange and Slash, but it will be cheaper if they have them for $39.99 again later. Ik do seem to be up to something...Obi said another promotion is coming and T-racks grand is on sale now at Audio Deluxe for $124 .99. It feels like they are cleaning house. Maybe they are about to have a major upgrade for everything soon.

Well, fortunately I haven't paid full price for anything. I paid $99 for Fender, $39.99 for Ampeg. I got A3, CSR and the Sampletank stuff with Total studio...for $87. I bought T-deluxe from a member here for $69. So I traded my extra T-racks deluxe (that came with total studio) for 4 Addictive drum adpaks. 

Although I don't quite agree with IK on this whole fiasco on ST, I joined this GB as I'm in dire needs of a guitar sim and this $99 offer was just too good for me to pass up (since my issue with Line6 being just being a dongle for plugins). I had been totally depending on POD Farm for all my tones, but with their Win8 drivers being flaky, I've now got a new friend. I've only had the free version of Amplitube3 (which I'd hardly used) and just got the full version of this with the Fender, Orange, and Ampeg as my freebies. I'm really impressed with all of them and these tones simply rock.....especially the Fender collection.  
I've still only scratched the surface with A3 and there's just a ton of amps/combinations to keep me busy for a long time.
I don't have a Bass yet, but still got the Ampeg collection (planning for the future )......does anyone know of any presets that I could play my 6 string as a bass to get the low end tones?? (I ran into one Octa something? that did this, but don't know of any others.........).

Sadly, I too must kick myself, bite my tongue, scream loudly...borrow more money
and join this group buy...I can get all the Ampitube Bundles I don't have for less then
$20 each....damn you IK....damn you!!! 

I'm gonna be in hock up to my ying yang....

In case anyone might be interested (re: simulating a bass using a guitar), some users have suggested using the Octaver pedal in Ampeg SVX.
 
I'll be checking this out tonight....

Mesh..what happened to the report???

I didn't get a chance to check this out Larry (been doing some OT) and have just crashed when I got home....I'm very much interested in this as I don't have a Bass, and will try to spend some time on it this weekend. Have you had a chance to check out the Octaver?

After installing Amplitube 3 do you need to download and run the installer for the other packages ex: Orange (the download just looks like the amplitube 3 installer) or are all the packages already included in amplitube 3 and just needs to be activated?
 
Little confused here. Thanks for the help.

Yes, I believe that's what I did. Install A3 and then the others. I also installed the latest version of Custom Shop, and pushed the "Update my gear" (something like that). Then they all showed up in Amplitube 3. (I'm going by short term memory here as I'm not at my DAW.....)

I've been going back and forth about whether to do this...so haven't got it yet...
don't know what's holding me back...other then my stupidity....

Do you mean getting in on the $99 deal or getting to use the Octaver?
 
If it's the $99 deal, and you need it/could use it........well.....then you'll have to do what you have to do.
If it's the Octaver thingy, don't let your stupidity hold you back.

I'm in!
 
Now to figure out how to get the freebies... :)

 

Go to your account/user area.  On the left side you will see "Promotions" click that link and if you've got any free stuff coming, you will find it there.
 
And yes everything comes with AT3. It's all in there: Fender, Slash, Ampeg, all of it. Just need to run Authorization Manager and enter your code. And this is the big thing: Offline registration works great! Don't even have to have AT3 or Authorization Manager installed on the PC you have connected to internet. Just get the AM on the off-line pc to generate an Authorization Request, take that AR file to a computer on the internet, double click the Authorization Request file and it will bring you to where you need to enter your code, click done and it generates a "Authorization File" that you bring back to off line pc and load it in the "Authorization Manager and Everything that you own for AT3 is all there. Including anything that you buy from the custom shop!
 
They got it working pretty damn good now. It use to be BS. And the old authorization process was the biggest reason I never got anything much from them till now.

Thanks for the help guys!
