Oh Tedd, TJ whatever suits me fine. LOL! I got it working. Can't thank you enough Steve! Thanks for the help.
'Tedd' it is then
When you use the custom shop option do you just do the same process to save those to your VST plugin folder?
No, it's actually far simpler than that!
To purchase a bit of kit from the Custom Shop, first make sure you have Amplitube open in standalone mode. Then click on the Custom Shop link up near the top right of the interface. You will have to sign in to your IK account on the screen that opens.
To buy amps/cabs/effects etc, you first have to purchase 'Credits' which can be redeemed for the items you want. If you do planning on buying a few items, I'd recommend working out how many Credits you're going to need in total and then buy a big enough bundle to be able to get them all in one transaction. The reason for this is, as you can see, the more credits you buy together, the cheaper they work out per credit.
Also be aware that every purchase you make from IK adds a certain number of 'Jam Points' to your account. These Jam Points can be used as part-payment of any future purchases. If I remember correctly, you are allowed to use Jam Points (providing you have enough of course) to pay for up to 50% of the purchase price of any item.
Anyway, back to acquiring new gear and using it in GT - each item in the Custom Shop is available to 'Try' or 'Buy' - the links appear to the right of each item:
As you can see from the 'German Gain' amp at the bottom, it even tells you what you've already purchased.
To 'Try' an item, just click on the link, follow the onscreen prompts and the item will then be automatically added to your installation of Amplitube 3. Incidentally, that's why you have to have Amplitube 3 open when you purchase new gear. I think you get 48 hours of full functionality before the item stops working Tedd, and obviously, you are only allowed to try an item once.
To 'Buy' an item, the process is pretty much the same, apart from a screen where you get to use any Jam Points you have and then part with your Credits.
Once you've added any new gear, just make certain that it's all working before closing the standalone version of Amplitube 3.
To use your new gear in GT3, all you need to do is open Amplitube 3 in a track's Effects Bin as usual. You won't need to perform a fresh VST scan because the new amp/cab etc will already be installed to the plug-in.
I'd advise signing up to receive their newsletter too Tedd, or even just checking out the Custom Shop regularly as they often offer some of the gear for free - for example just the other week I picked up a free Fender Dual-Showman model for nothing, I see it's back on sale for 15 Credits now.
