unfortunately this news came out too late! i had my BIAS amp head plugged in when i loaded bias amp 2 and it asked me to update which i did assuming it was fine. Roll back to bias amp 1 does not work so i am without an amp head until PG fix this. not good
-
@mark-rigby Hey Mark, I'm now working the tool with our R&D team, I will keep you posted through the ticket!
-
@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.
-
@danbieranowski Thank you!
-
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!
-
Yeah, Felix is awesome.
Very good support from PG.
-
Can't be too far away now 😁
-
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
-
@arnarsigurdar yep because for now Bias Amp2 is useless....

@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
-
Second that, I''m anxiously waiting for that firmware 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.
