            @felix Do you have an ETA for when the firmware will be released for the Head/Rack?

              @johan-enbom I spoke to Kevin Huang (Product Management) at NAMM and he said 4-6 weeks.

                  just gotta say what a great response I had from Felix and the tech support guys who helped me fix my problem with the head.

                  so looking forward to upgrading my head to the v2!

                        It would be great if we could get ETA on this, it is a rather huge deal for us who use Bias Head/rack to be able to use Bias Amp2

                            @stephane said in BIAS Amp 2 w/BIAS Head/Rack (Update/Jan/26/2018):

                            @arnarsigurdar yep because for now Bias Amp2 is useless....

                            I think most likely @arnarsigurdar wants an update is because most Bias Head/Rack users use the head/rack instead of, or at least significantly more than the bias 2 standalone. Personally I don't really use the standalone much at all other than for making patches for the head, and would be very grateful for any ETA on the head update

                                @stephane to use with the Bias Head ... yes it is ...

                                @Liam , exactly how I use Bias Amp as well , I use it exclusively to make patches for the head.

                                  @arnarsigurdar Head of Product Development said 4-6 weeks at the end of January. So ETA would be roughly mid-March.

                                    I evaluated Bias Amp 2, it was really really good! then I decided to buy the rack.... I find Bias Amp 2 substantially better than v1. this is disappointing, I bought the elite version in $299! what a waste of money.

                                      I bought the black Processor Rack. I am looking forward to upgrading to Bias Amp 2.0. Any info on when compatibility will be coming? Thx

                                        @adirii Why do you think it was a waste of money? If all goes as planned, Bias 2 will work with the rack within the next month or so.

                                        @etaylor74 as mentioned above, mid-March was the hoped for date by Positive Grid's engineers.

                                          @danbieranowski Waste of money is when you buy something and it's not usable :) When you get to positivegrid.com all you see is bias amp 2... there is no mention to v1 anymore so I assumed the rack/head will run this.

                                          I am a disappointed since my guitar sounds much better with v2 and I find it much more inspirational.

                                          @Felix I understand that releasing v2 not trivial at all... iOS, OSX, Windogs, firmware and etc are a lot to take in one shot and Being said that, hopefully they will release v2 in the next few weeks. no need to refund... I'll just wait.

                                            @adirii But it will work within the next couple weeks, so I'm not sure I understand how it was wasted.

                                            I agree that it's no fun to have to wait for the firmware to be released, I assure you that you can get excellent tones out of the head using Bias Amp v1. I'm using my v1 presets until the firmware is released, and I assure you that it sounds great.
