Ok.. I bought a Guitar Port 2.5 w/Rifftracker over the Memorial Holiday @ GC.
140.00. I'm thinking.. this is a great deal as I've seen them go for about 175.00 new.
Then I look on ebay.. 75.00.. I'm thinking wth.. I am paying way to much.
So I buy one off ebay.. wait two weeks and take my original purchase from GC back.
Meanwhile.. the guy on ebay says the shipment came in damaged and I'll have to wait a little longer but they'll expedite it out on their coin. Another week goes by. Finally 3 weeks later.. I get the box. (no, it wasn't expedited)
Just in time too as my J station has just gone on the blink. In the meantime.. I'm using a GS-10 to record basic ideas and all the sounds are to funky for me to deal with that I have to spend time dialing in a handful of new sounds to use for recording.
The clincher is.. I hook up the Guitar port... get to fool with some tones.. but there's no product key. I can't activate the Rifftracker software.
It seems L6 markets two different versions of software/hardware. The green box with the monkey is what I had from GC..it contains the product key for rifftracker. I returned it before realizing that I may want it instead of the ebay purchase which came in the red box..
This red box does not have the product key for Rifftracker..so, instead of saving 70 bucks..now it'll cost me a 100.00 to obtain and activate a product key.
Just a fair warning FYI..for anyone is who planning on buying this stuff.. make sure you know what you are getting. I did check with the vendor on ebay about the software/hardware and they did say it was as new, the 2.5 version with Rifftracker.. little did I know it was the demo version.
