IK Gear Credits Alert
Custom Shop Gear Credits and pricing changes
IK Online Store and Custom Shop experience enhancements
Heads up! There are some changes on the way in March that may affect you if you currently hold Gear Credits. To better streamline the IK online store and Custom Shop experiences, we will be reshuffling our pricing across the board and also readjusting the value of Gear Credits in the process. As a result of this, certain products will require more Gear Credits starting in March. This message is a courtesy to you, to let you know that you still have some time to take advantage of the prices now and spend your credits before the changes go into effect.

Sounds like T-racks 4 and Amplitube 4...could be close.

It is this March, but thanks for the chuckle. It should be helpful if you have Gear Credits (or even if you don't) and want to use them or pick up some IK gear before pricing changes occur.

@IK_Multimedia
I have a call in to IK Multimedia (Florida) about this. Even if I purchase the little pedals that I have no use for I would still have over 560 credits left. There just isn't anything new that I don't already own.
Any ideas on how much this is going to affect my investment in gear credits? Will it also affect the $301 in jam points I have?
Kind regards,
Rick

It will not affect your JamPoints. I do not have specifics to share about pricing changes until they are officially announced. However, I wouldn't suggest you purchase things you do not need or want, of course. Any new gear will be in line with the pricing structure at the time of their release.

Fortunately or unfortunately with that latest Group Buy I became cleaned out of credits. But the stuff I picked up is great!
Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

 I did notice that I needed the tape echo in T-Racks CS so I didn't really follow your instruction to the letter. Thanks Again for the direction and sense of humor. Now back to play with my new Toy, Toy, toy, toy, ...

It has been a long time since I used the tape echo. I had the hardware echoplex back in the 70's. I believe it had a SOS feature so you could record and then play along with it for a couple minutes. The replacement tape racks weren't cheap and I went through several...

I went on a little shopping spree and picked up the Fender Princeton, The Dr. Z amps, The Engle amps, Carvin and their respective cabs along with the Fulltone OCD. That does it for my points.

LOL. I now have all of the T-Racks gear, ARC 2, Amplitube 3, The Fender, Orange, Ampeg and Slash collections. The original Jimi Hendrix collection (not the upgrade), the Soldano, Dr. Z, Carvin, Engle amps & cabs and the Fulltone OCD. Maybe I'm a little OCD. Rocky

I'm no guitar man, more of a keys person. Got all T-RackS and now 90 gear credits left. Anything in the Amplitude Shop I might use for keys?

They have 3 of the rotary cabs, 147-1 with the original woofer and 147-2 that has a modern woofer. Both are based on the leslie 147. Also have a Vibratone 1x10” Rotary based on the Fender model. They work well with any organ sound or the slow speed sounds great on a Rhodes. One of the great things about the Custom Shop is you can give things a try for a few days.

Cheers, Rick!
I was also looking at the "rack" ones, as they seem comparable to T-RackS stuff. What do you think?

I forgot all about the "Rack" rotary effect... I really need to check that out as I have not performed any comparisons.
Like I said, one of the great things about Custom Shop is you can DL and try it out for free. Heck, give it a shot and you'll know first hand if it is for you or not. I don't remember exactly how many days you get to try it out but, IIRC, they are pretty generous with the 'Try' period.
