    They don't even offer existing users an upgrade price...
    that's pretty sad...

    Installed, and it seems to be running.  I"m not sure if
    I own it or am just demo'ing it...not real clear from the
    description, but I assume the redemption code means I
    own it...so it's a free upgrade...but, as I said, it's not quite 
    clear...

    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...

    Also be aware that code only works once.
    After that it won't work again...

    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.

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

    You can buy it now.  When I put my code in it took me to the Buy or Demo site...
    But I own BIAS Desktop, so don't feel I should have to pay $99 for the addition
    of the FX (or $199)...

    I downloaded the Demo...and so far, am not that impressed...

    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.

    S-Gear has been great and they don't make you pay (so Far) for every update. I tried bias and have to say that other than the cool interface it offers nothing that makes me want to dive in. Some of the things that they let you adjust really don't seem to do much. All sizzle and no steak.

    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 . . .

    Yay, I got my invitation and code today, will buy and download the Pro version tomorrow, got a splitting headache and stinging eyes at the moment, been cleaning the bathroom and shower, breathing in those chemicals can't be good for you guess I should probably read and follow the safety instructions, but who reads them . . .

    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.

    I already own BD...so I'm not going to pay another "retail" fee
    to get the upgrade...they can bite me...S-Gear is better anyways...
    I like BD...but seriously...shouldn't existing users/supporters get
    a break?

    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.

    Not to mention the 'Tone Cloud' thing, and BIAS FX Pro's equivalent, heaps of awesome sounding setups just sitting there to be had. Audition/download and enjoy. Something else I just love about what Positive Grid are doing . . . awesomeness

    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...

    Yes I understand where you are coming from, I guess I just don't think like that, they got something I want, they say this is how much it costs, I say here you go, and off I go as happy as Larry I'm not one to wait for sales or the like, if I want something I just get it, don't see the sense in waiting when you don't have to.
     
    The difference between Standard and Pro is more than just 'amp matching' for both BIAS Amp and BIAS FX
     
    BIAS Amp
    Desktop (Standard) -
    • 36 authentic amp models to get started.
    • Complete BIAS amp design modules for customization.
    • Download thousands of amp models from ToneCloud.
    • Sync with BIAS iPad and iPhone.
     
     
    Pro -
    • Everything from BIAS Desktop, plus:
    • Amp Match Technology to capture your tube amps.
    • Featured artists Amp Match presets download.
    • Glassy, Crunch & Insane Amp Expansion Packs.
     
     
    BIAS FX
    Desktop (Standard) -
    • 12 amps and 30 effects
    • Download pedalboards on ToneCloud.
    • Dual BIAS Amp Integration.
     
    Pro -
    • 60 amps and 52 effects
    • 10 Rack processors
    • Download featured artists pedalboard setup
     
    Anyway, to me it's an absolute bargain.
