    IK Is basically selling these as Eventide knockoffs with a Strymon enclosed finish at half the price with actual good sounding performance. Hope Behringer doesn't find out about this.

    These are pretty cool. They seem kind of pricy considering you can buy the full version of Amplitube for the price of one pedal, but I guess the price of buying all 4 is less than buying Amplitube AND a laptop if you don’t have one already.

    Great vid as always... But for these pedals, I'd rather either get an iRig stomp I/O to use my Amplitube 5 rig on stage or use what a single of these pedals costs and build a pedalboard with Behringer pedals

      you could build a pedal board of behringer pedals but it couldnt touch a set of these for the flexability - not even close .

    Kempler must have sponsored this video, buy all 4 and you have almost spent enough to buy their pedal board !! Amplitube 5 is good but its certainly not the best, none of them are, they all have their strengths and weaknesses, same for the modellers since most of todays amp/cab/effects stage gear use IR samples to recreate the tone. Effects are the least problematic to generate its a choice of which one you like but when it comes to amp/cab modelling that is a whole different scenario. If you want an alternative to buying numerous amps and cabs, invest and treat yourself to a modeller, you will not regret it.

      @@themikepadua all of my reasons are subjective, and merely my opinion, but here we go. First of all, I don't want something that takes up so much real estate on my pedal board. Next, I personally don't want or need a pedal with this many options/parameters. I don't mind spending time with a pedal to get the most out of it for me, but I know I won't with something like this. Next, the price. I understand that you get a lot for one pedal, and it's all relative. Lastly and mostly importantly, these sound very synthetic to my ears. Especially the Drive sounds. They seems to be lacking soul and/or character, almost like the early days of amp modeling.

      I own it along with the AXE/IO box. I am not a fan of either. I wish Brian May had chosen a different company to work with. I think part of the problem is that they don’t understand good English.

      Not everything. I got the Total Studio Max 3 plus iLoud MTM bundle for 850 as I had some IK credits. iLoud MTMs normally go for 700 a pair, and I got a 100 dollar credit for future purchases after registering the product. So I essentially got Total Studio Max 3 for 50 bucks, which includes all of IKs software. That sounds like a hell of a deal to me, comparable to only Native Instruments Komplete.
      These pedals are a bit expensive, but consider that you get the software versions too, and you get a bundle saving of 200 if you buy all 4. Buying from IKs website saves you the sales tax, and I would expect, registering them after purchase should give you some credits for future purchases too. I’d say they are not terribly priced for guitar pedals, as these are quite versatile with many pedals in one and that each one can also be used as an audio interface on its own. Only something like a GT 1000 core or helix would be better value.

    All the ease of using your cursor, conveniently overcomplicated so IK can sell you a physical box.. even though that's why you got the software to begin with.. to not have dozens of pedals, amps, and patch cables to mess with while finding tones.. for cheap.. without sacrificing audio quality. These are just the Horcrux pieces of software that already exists.
