I have 1 $199 freebie left at the moment, and there's only 3 more to get so I think I'll at least grab the X-Time and X-Space pedals. Shame we can't combine $99 value ones haha. I've got about a dozon of those left (bought it again with a cheap plugin).

I did wonder if people were going to start running out of stuff to get for free, especially those who bought into the deal two or three times.

Looks like it will run the full course - meaning I will have 50 freebies, I'm picking the products I know I will use first - and with new products being added I am taking my time... :thumbs_up:

Here's a pretty good post on how to get the max out of this deal:

Almost to the 23,000 tier. Weirdly the final tier goes from 23,000 - 25,000 (2000) but we should hit it with 20 more days.

I was surprised that they added some new gear options to the list of available products. I think I got most of them when they upgraded Amplitube but the ones I did not have were the software versions of their X-Gear pedals. Near the end I didn't have anything else to buy so I got all the SE versions. :D BUt still had at least 4 left over. Then I saw those! Just thought I'd point that out.

Yeah the mentioned it on another forum, it was the plan from the start, it’s so the end result is “25 for the price of 1”. They’ve also stated (understandably) that the new TASCAM tape plugins won’t be added as free options.

Are the samples in sampletank, Syntronik and miroslav Wav files or a special format? I’d like to have the option to use them in Grain and Mimic if I’m going to take up that much drive space with them.

They come in .pak files which seem to be convertible into other formats: https://www.chickensys.com/products2/sa ... rmats.html

Perhaps you could also ztry to unpack those .pak files with a .pak unpacker tool (usually used for unpacking game assets). But in any case you cannot directly use those samples in Grain or Mimic.

I own all their software now. Even the new "X" stompboxes. Crazy promo.

I can confirm that ChickenSys Translator can see and convert both samples and instruments.

Thx for the confirmation. Are they wav files once unpacked or did you have to convert? Just want to know if I need to set aside a Saturday.

Home stretch, less than 1000 to go now. I wonder which licenses I don't need at this point I will pick for the final ones? :lol: Maybe Mixbox Crossgrade to put on my 11th computer.

By the end I’ll have 2 $199 tier freebies left but have to choose between X-drive, X-vibe and the Master EQ 432. Hmm 🤔

Hi good morning
I am very interested in the 25x1 promotion that is currently in the online store.
I currently have 65 jampoints available.
I also have the Crossgrade offers of several products, for example: Bass mode, Drums mode, AmpliTube 5, etc etc all at $ 199.99 (Dollars).
This are my questions:
If I buy for example Amplitube 5 using 50 jampoints, I would pay in total: 199.99 - 50 = $ 149.99
1.- Is the initial value of 199.99 maintained to be able to choose free products of that value, or would it be the price I pay at the end (149.99)?
2.- If the original value is maintained, the price of crossgrade values is preserved for the free choice of the 25x1 promotion, for example choose, Bass mode, drum mode, etc. at 199.99, or they would be the original price of $ 299 ?
Thank you
Greetings

thanks for the reply...
Can anyone confirm that buying "Custom Shop Gear Credits" works?
because if so, it would be convenient for me to buy 300 using the 65 jampoints that I have, leaving $ 160
and buy something 200 first and then something 100 and get 50 products ...
Thank you so much

I was actually wondering that myself 2 days ago so I searched the latest posts on the thread and it has been confirmed as recent as October 11th in that same thread.

And trust me with so many pages it was damn hard to find. :D
