Each year I keep an Excel spreadsheet (a tab for each year within the Excel file) for the music gear I buy. I definitely have noticed a decline in what I buy over the years. I set myself a budget each year. It helps to curb any overspending. This year not spent very much.

There seems some great deals on Time+Space for Toontrack guys, worth a look...I picked up Into the Dark EZX for a great price!

I hate to bump this up. But this amp I have been demoing the Kerry King JCM and it is awesome. Used it a little with Helix Native to add pre and post effects. This plug in is great. You do need an iLok, but i know most of us have these. It is very good on CPU usage. I am gonna jump on this deal before it is over, thanks to Larry!!!

Bargain, maybe.........$69 https://www.bestservice.com/ezx_into_the_dark.html

I see them at Earl's Court in the UK in 1994. I guess that was the tour that supported the live album Pulse. I wish I would have kept the program and tickets, they may be in my parents attic back in the UK. I hope I still have them somewhere. Was an amazing show. One of last one's I went to in UK before heading to USA. Memories 🙂

Yes that sounds really good and just like his sound!

I would at least go with the Amp 5 SE. I just think you will always kick yourself for not getting the version above the CS. At least that's how it was for me. I just think you will like the whole cab experience without any limitations. Just my thoughts.

OK Selfish bump, I scored these over the Labor Day sale and they just got delivered...🤘 Thanks for posting Larry!!!!

Wow, I was thinking about the ILOUD MICRO MONITORS just last week. I have heard they sound good with your modeler (Helix, Headrush etc). Any experiences with using these monitors for guitar modeler...? My current monitors are Samson MediaOne 3A's. What do ya think I am sure the micro monitors would be a huge step up...?

Been holding off on Amplitube Brian May, finally got it as one of my freebies. OMG it is fun and good! Don't mean to derail from our topic but that is a goldie!

To confirm, Once we purchase in the custom shop (using gear credits) then this gets us into the group buy at $199 level correct...

Thanks and here's mine https://wn.nr/Dq5xAg

Oh they know

The King has returned!

Merry Christmas guys! 🍺

I should upgrade my Artist v2 to the v5 Artist. What are your thoughts on S1 Artist v5....?

Yes I notice this. My signature pack presets I purchased back in Amplitube 3 or 4, "Slash" as an example are telling me I need to purchase other items. That is not right? How can that be.

It will appear it is a new deal every day, but hopefully you are right and all deals won't expire till 30th.

Yes, the deals will go for 24 hours, changing every day.

EZ Mix 2 is pretty useful, i had it once maybe i should buy into it again...hmmm

Thanks for detailed response. I own TH3 Full. My guess is I can upgrade that to TH-U Metal from TH3 Full for the current upgrade price of $9. I know it is a dumb question but want to check before i buy, i will also ask Overloud.

I have been holding off on upgrading my TH3. I now see that Overloud have the upgrade on sale. But to be honest I am more tempted to just but Metal and Rock at these great prices, then just add a couple rig libraries. I hate to bump this thread up but what are some of your favorite rig libraries?

Glad to hear no issues Simon. I was part of the Beta test team for Helix Native, I tested it to the n'th degree..LOL Guys, make sure to check out the Tuner in Helix native it's great!

Death & Darkness OR Metal Machinery, which do you guys prefer. I should jump on one of these sweet deals...
