ToneX pedal purchase and $100 discount for TONEX Max owners

[aggravation]

I just ordered ToneX pedal from Sweetwater and now I see if you order from IK and own ToneX Max you get a discount of $100

I already bought Tonex Max and Amplitube Max last month. Do I qualify for the $100 credit? If so, how to collect it?

The $/€100 discount is on the IK store, ordered directly from IK.

I’m guessing IK Store is shipping from Italy and Sweetwater is much closer to me and is going to have it to me by Friday. So I guess paying the ‘difference’ is of some value.

I understand you guys need to manage the profit margin, selling direct cuts out the expense of Sweetwaters share of that so you have more room to offer discounts selling direct.

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if buyers in my situation received a consolation prize of extra jam points for having just bought Amplitube 5 max and ToneX Max before ordering the new pedal from vendors here in the states…

US orders ship from our US HQ in Florida, not from Italy

Well crap, looks like wasted $100 by not knowing about the discount I was entitled to until after placing the order.
I set my alarm to wake me at midnight so I didn’t miss out in case supply chain was going to limit supply and the only vendor I found in a search was Sweetwater so I jumped on it.

The old saying, ‘too clever by half’, describes how smart i was/wasn’t…

They are going fast, and I really don't like saying that (sounds too saleman-ish) but it is true. So I think you got in on something that's becoming surprisingly popular out of the gate. I guess if even I'm surprised at the rate people are snapping these up it says something!

Why don’t you just return the pedal to Sweetwater and order it from IK?

I ended up doing that yesterday afternoon when I saw my order status on Sweetwater was still showing ready to ship when people who ordered there after I did had received tracking info.
Although the IK store in Florida showed it in stock and available for second day delivery once I ordered the status says waiting to ship. But it sure is easier to wait when it means saving $100!

Mine is coming from Florida. The FED-EX tracking says it'll be here Wednesday Feb, 22. I'll live if it's late as I'm still playing with TONEX MAXX and don't really NEEEEEED the pedal per-se
