Sweetwater has the Amplifi FX100 listed at $299.99.

Oh. Guess I'll be getting an HD500X delivered Monday with a FedEx return label for the Amplifi :-) Again, I love the Amplifi. I just learned about the HD500X after I bought it and since I have the opportunity to the swap (same $$) I want to. Thanks! - Tony

Wow. Freaking me out. I said the exact thing last Friday, "ready to swap 150 for HD500X". And a week later, I'm still not sure. If there is indeed something new coming down the pike, I think I'll swap the 150 for a credit on my SW card... - Tony

Thank you for the reply! SW does have a 24 month 0% card. That's what I'm coasting on now. They had 36 months option last week...I almost got a DT25 and cabinet. Maybe next spring a DT25. Variax JTV89F in 2015. I'm going to do the swap. Already talked to my rep. Making final decision Friday. I totally get what the Amplifi is, does and the target market (which I'm included in) and what they have created is something very sweet and fantastic and does what I was looking for. I just happened to learn about the HD500X _after_ purchasing the Amplifi and want it so very badly. I do need to ask a few more questions, but will do that in the appropriate forum. Dream Rig -- each piece all connected via one cable. Love it. - Tony

The candy that came with my Amplifi was stale....leftovers from Halloween? (my birthday) I took a picture of it while unboxing. Hey, you're a Sweetwater guy...you think they'd do a swap of my Amplifi 150 for the HD500X? It's the same money. I'd be okay paying S&H. I did A LOT of forum reading, Googling and Youtubing research before I got the Amplifi 150. I thought this had to be it, I clean up the living room of the mixer, cables, RP500, cables, two amps (stereo) and cables. Did I mention there were cables? All for this one "box" that would do it all with an iPad. While it was on a FedEx truck from Fort Wayne to my place I continued forum reading. Then came across your post about the Dream Rig and how the HD500X is the center piece. Then did more research on the HD500X itself. Holy Crap. I want. I want to swap. The iLoud -- for another $100 one can get the Amplifi 75. I thought about it, but something about using an iPad for effects seemed wrong to me at the time. Whoops. Now I have an Amplifi :-) - T

I'm guessing it does what the Amplifi + app does minus the cabinet, speaker and amp? If you already have an amp and want the Amplifi matching features, add this to your rig. I wish it would have come out first.

Thanks for sharing! The multi-flexible piece of equipment I have been wanting and waiting for. .....and still waiting. According to Fex Ex, I'll be able to try this too by 5:00pm today :-) I have Amplitube (and iRig) too. Also, I just bought the full blown Amplitube for PC. As far as connections go, I'm guessing AUX IN to the Amplifi from my PC? Seems wrong to use a skinny cable with 1/8" jacks on either end to feed a guitar amp. I think I also have a bluetooth USB dongle around here somewhere. - Tony

Thank you. That's so cool of you to do that little exercise and find answers. I'm sure you had fun in the process! Knowing that now and and more reading last night, I read you can turn off all the effects from the app and still use this as you would a regular amp, i.e. keep you existing pedal board, effects, etc. There is one of these in my future for sure. - Tony

Hey gang! I'm seriously considering the AMPLIFI. I've spent a good part of the day Googling, Youtubing and reading this forum. I'm very close to pulling the trigger, but a couple questions I haven't found the answers to. So, I'm jamming along to a song. iPad is supplying music via BT and guitar is plugged into the amp. Now, I want to add vocals too. Can I come out of a mixer and into the AUX IN? Basically, will it do three sources at the same time? Or somehow source the mic into the iPad (USB to camera kit, mic in the 1/8" jack)?? That being asked, and if it's possible, can you control the levels of each the (three) sources? Basically, get everything to sound right from a volume perspective. I'm doing that know with a mixer -- Ch. 1 is a mic (vocals), Ch. 2 XLR out of modeling pedal board, and Ch. 3 is an iPod. Lastly, can you control the over-all volume of the amp (using as intended, forget I asked about the third source, vocals) from the app (remotely)? Since this is stereo, I'm seeing this parked at the front of the living room in the center and me playing towards the back third. I'm hoping all tweaks, including volume and blend of guitar vs. song can be adjusted from the app and not have to reach for the larger knob on top of the amp... FWIW, my current setup is a Belkin Tune Studio mixer with a built-in iPod doc, a Digitech RP500 (sorry!) and a SM58 mic. Mixer out going to a very big, very old Kenwood amp and two very big, very old American Acoustics. Oh, I forgot the fourth source, PC connected via USB to both the mixer and RP. Basically, modeling with the FRFR approach. It's killer, works great and sounds fantastic. But messy and I want my living room back :-) The AMPLIFI sure looks like an awesome clean solution to what I am already doing. It just takes what I've got and glues it together in a nice package. And the PC can go away too with the awesome song matching cloud library. I hope that all made some sense. Thanks in advance, please ask more questions. - Tony
