Crazy deal available until Dec 31st 2009
You buy and register one of their listed products (StealthPedal, StealthPedal Deluxe, AmpliTube 2, AmpliTube 2 Crossgrade, AmpliTube Fender™, Ampeg® SVX, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™, AmpliTube Metal), and then you get to choose from THREE (3) of their plugins (AmpliTube 2 Crossgrade, Ampeg® SVX, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™, AmpliTube Metal, T-RackS 3 Standard, SampleTank 2.5 L, Miroslav Philharmonik CE)
Just got this email from IK Multimedia. I would jump at this deal if I could afford it right now, but unfortunately, I cannot. A few years ago, I did participate in a group buy deal from IK, and I ended up with a ton of samples (SampleTank 2) I never use (it doesn’t really seem like they work… sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t, maybe I’m missing something, maybe I didn’t care enough), but it came with Amplitube 2, which was the free plugin they let me choose. This looks like an incredible deal, but even though I’d be saving $900, I’d be spending over $200 that I don’t currently have to spend.
If only this deal had shown up sometime early next year. I would absolutely love to have that pedal.
The plugins I would probably choose would be Ampeg, T-Racks, and Amplitube Jimi Hendrix. A lot of people prefer Native Instruments’ Guitar Rig, and I’ve tried it, but there’s something about Amplitube 2 that just got me from the start. I think it’s the wonderful crunch sound they emulate that I had difficulty emulating in GR. Perhaps it’s because it seems to take few system resources to run.
