My option to buy Ampeg SVX 2 at $49.99 is available for me to purchase. I have $46.00 in Jam points to use, however, I want to buy Modo bass and use the Jam Points to make the total price $103.99.
I am sooooo confused about what to get. 
remember you can only use $15 dollars of jam points for a $49.99 item.

After a quick demo, I gotta give kudos to the IK devs who brought these Ampegs to life. Very good sound from all three, taking the collection to a new level.
I compared the SVT-VR with the UAD/Brainworx version, and was able to get them to sound pretty close. Had to do some fiddling -- the same settings did not necessarily produce the same results. I still prefer the UAD's sound overall, but A4's cab/mike selection features make choosing those much more fun. (Another point for UAD is that it doesn't eat your CPU as A4 tends to do -- of course, the required DSP hardware isn't super-cheap.)
I didn't have time yet to compare directly the B-15N with its UAD counterpart, but from what I hear, it's also fairly close. Classic tone with great control of dynamics.
The V-4B surprised me, as I hadn't heard a model of that one before. Really liking the sound of it. Could be a go-to.
Taken together, the new amps cover a wide range of tasty flavors. I'd say the SVX 2 upgrade is a no-brainer for those who already own the original bundle. Nice work!
Cheers,
Eddie

It should be here Fret Man: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/ampegsvx2/ (on the left, it shows $49.99 upgrade). However, when I click on the upgrade price, it takes me to a $99 price link........something's not quite right here.

Or get MODO BASS which is still on sale (that one was extended, now we know why!) - but that one is close to being over now

Can some one confirm this shows up in Amplitube as "Ampeg" and not "Ampeg 2" Right - sorted it, I thought something was wrong  It did not install through Custom Shop, I had to go and get the latest Amplitube from my account on the website and install that first.

Just been putting the Rickenbaker bass from NI Komplete through it. Sounds great! 'Specially with those sustain pedal induced velocity sensitive slides.

Does anyone know whether installing V2 wipes out V1...or whether the two then co-exist in Amplitube?

Just heard back from IK...they said the reason I'm not seeing the upgrade price is that I must have gotten my original SVX in a bundle...and that that is why the upgrade price is not showing and also why it's not showing up in my "upgrades/crossgrades" section in my user account.
Only...I didn't get it in a bundle. I bought it as a totally separate plugin when it first came out. Back in 2007.
So...I told them that and maybe they can fix it. We'll see.
Maybe Peter can chime in and give me some help.

Same here: "Only full purchased versions qualify for the upgrade version, if it was received via a promotion or in a MAX bundle, it does not qualify for the upgrade." So they have lost a purchase from me until they have a BOGO or sumpin'. Like MODO and SVX2 on a BOGO since those are the only two (in the Amplitube line) I do not own.

Yes, I received the same reply to my inquiry to IK customer support as why I do not see the upgrade for my licensed SVX 1. As I explained in my response to IK CS, I purchased the "boxed" version of the SVX 1 nearly a decade ago (2008), when it was still at v1.1.1. It was a standalone app (years before it was merged with Amplitube) with separate plugin versions (VST, AU, etc..) at that time.
