How come I have 30 Jam Points on the site and only 20 credits in Custom Shop?
I suppose they are different things?

Yes they are. Jam points are awarded based on purchases. Credits are purchased (only).
 
If you bought 100 Credits you are allowed to use (up to 30% of the purchase) your jam points. So, for you today, spend $75 and use your jam points an you'll have $100 in credits.

It doesn't appear that old user presets transfer to A4.  At least, I haven't figured out how to do that. 

 
there is a 'import legacy preset' thingy in there to import your old presets

Knowing "where" that is would be helpful to a dolt like me.

it's in the browser drop down thingy, towards the bottom :)

Well, my first impressions are good. I have been noodleing on my electric baratone dulcimer for the past hour or so and messing with the new routings, amps and the rooms. Somehow it seems to be less noisy that 3, but that's an impression not a A/B comparison. I like the rooms a alot. I also like the acoustic simulator pedal, I would not say its totally realistic but it does give an acoustic quality to the sound which I like.
 
As others have said, not a wow, but a solid update none the less IMHO.

Does anyone have Revalver4 along with A4? I wonder how they compare to each other granted you use the same amp/cab/mic/placement/settings...

$49 is about the right price for this....

hmmmm, I think the jury is still out, but for someone who didn't have any previous Amplitube gear, the full price of $149 would leave you with a very bare cupboard when compared to what you can get with something like BIAS FX Pro for an extra $50, or TH2 for an extra $20. I wouldn't pay the full price, whether or not it was worth the $99 pre order price, well that's what I am checking out, it is growing on me a 'little' (but so is that rash) and I did say a 'little', it's not terrible, it's just nothing special, and it is better than Amp3, but I didn't think that much of Amp3 so . . . There are some nice sounds to be had, but it's not even close to my preferred sims.
 
It is a good marketing tool, as IK knows and is taking full advantage of, as the good folk here have already worked out, although I see no missing stuff thus far, but I do own everything available prior to release.

From my vantage point, it seems most folks sell just amp sims. IK is big on selling presets for the sims they sell. So Bias will give you more sims, but less presets for them. Tweak or no seems to be the diff to me..........or I could be wrong.

Soundwise

Yes I have Revalver 4, (and 3  and 3dot5). Well if I had to choose, I would go for Revalver 4, if nothing else just for the tweaking available, however I did find the component tweaking much better/easier in 3/3dot5, but . . . In 4 you have to be able to follow the schematics, but just for simple stuff like changing out the pre or power amp valves can give so much versatility in sound variation. But it all depends on what your ears like, what sounds good to you, %90 of the time I would say Revalver sounds better, the other 10% I may say Amp4 sounds better, 100% of the time I would say BIAS Amp Pro, BIAS FX Pro or TH2 Full sound better ;)
 
[Edit] I remember in Revalver 3dot5 listening to some amps, Orange I think, and thinking these things sound like sh!t, then never using them, them latter on when I had a bit of a mess around in the tweaking section, futzing around power amp valve and bam, my ears were in heaven.

Id say it would be more accurate to say they are big on selling presets which contain items that most people may not have, thus enticing them to go out and buy said item :) I think if you are selling something, it would be far better, and some may say far more 'ethical' that it's presets were 100% self contained within the product. (Not me, I own the lot, but I can understand that thinking)
 
BIAS has loads of presets, (and what's more loads of 'TONE' glorious 'TONE') especially when you dial in ToneCloud, it can become practically unlimited, granted there are some stinkers to be had from the herd, but there are many from people who know what they are doing, and are nothing short of awesome.
