Don’t have SplitEQ

You have the H9 collection, Equivocate, Quadravox and Precision Time Align? That's it? Are you sure? It would be weird/funny, if I had two more plugins than you (and not cheap ones), and my upgrade was $90 more.

Yeah, actually looks as if I have Equivocate, Quadravox and Precision Time Align too.

Is that all you have? And SplitEQ? $149 is a pretty good offer in that case. I have the same plugins, except that instead of SplitEQ I have Ultrareverb and Physion, and my upgrade price is $239. Not bad, but not good enough

I've got all the stuff in the H9 Collection. My upgrade price for Anthology XII on the Eventide website is $149. Question I'm asking myself is do I "need" emulations of old harware? I've got so many phasers and EQs and reverbs (except you can never have too many of those) already. Hmm... GAS?? I think so...Hmmm

You must have more than the H9 collection. SplitEQ, maybe?

No my friend

As a new EZ Keys user, your best bet right now is to buy a new EZ Keys Full version at a retailer for cheap

You can get the Upright Piano Full Version or a few others for 49€ right here :

https://www.drum-tec.fr/toontrack-ezkeys-upright-piano-download

You then get a Free upgrade to EZ Keys 2 on May 16

This is what I did the other day, I had resold my EZ Keys a few years ago so didn't have any software to upgrade, when I bought this one, I was given a free upgrade.

EZ Keys 2 - 49€

You're welcome

So a new user/buyer can get EZ Keys 2 cheaper than the upgrade price for existing users? Nice one, Toontrack. 

They reset the voucher, as expected. And upped their prices again, especially in the lower tier ? 

Maybe Dirk became jealous of all the attention Waves were getting, and felt like jumping in with some stupid moves of his own. 

Has anyone asked for (and received) an upgrade offer from them? They discount the bundle(s) fairly regularly, but I don't think I've ever seen an upgrade option.

Lindell TE-100 worth it?

I, for one, really like it. Nice/warm sounding, plus it's simple and intuitive to use.

You can get some interesting plugins very cheap or free

Yup. I picked up Needlepoint for $5.

If anyone is at all interested, it's also worth jumping in now, as they may reset the voucher in a day or two for those who used it, as they've done plenty of times in the past.

I received mine yesterday. And it's great fun. Would have been more fun if it also ran as an audio interface on iOS. 

But I don't have any other multifx, so it's a great way to jam in the middle of the night next to the missus with headphones on. 

And I wonder if they could update the firmware to have either reverb or delay as a timing based effect

Wouldn't an ipad or a phone + IK's HD 2 + software (A5, Tonex)  work better for that? You'd have a more flexible interface, effects, recording, looping, all that. Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought the pedal's place was in a gig rig?

Any Pros/Cons in doing so? 

I use my 65'' 4k TV as monitor often when I'm not sitting at my desk, and I'm thinkin of replacing my desk monitor with a 43'' TV as well. If you choose the right TV, it can be awesome. rtings are the best review site that I found to cover the topic; they test TV's pretty extensively and have a dedicated section in which they explain why each would work well (or not) as monitor. See here.

If you can catch the end of the of the other sale you can combine codes for some killer deals...

 

Doesn't seem to work for me (the previous codes don't work). But maybe you've found a way to stack them that works?

I kinda wrote this off because $599 is still pretty rich.  Then made the mistake of logging in and seeing my upgrade price (for Anthology 12) is $269.  I only have four of the plugs and got them free or on past sales.  Blackhole is amazing.  Resizable GUI's you say? Time to research and talk myself out of it.  Yeah, that's what I'll do. ?

I love Eventide. My upgrade offer is also $269, despite the fact that I have at least 15 of their plugins, instead of 4. So, thanks to you, now I love Eventide 2.69% less. 

This FOMO epidemic is getting out of hand: 

• hmm, this may be a cheapo way to get a decent video editor for when I need one ?
• it would be nice to settle on one user-friendly option ? 
•  feedback is good, seems like a good deal, let's log in on HB and think it over ?
• wow , lookie here, I have purchases from HB, I wonder what they are ?
• oh man, this  one's almost two years old and I never installed it, what the heck is it ??
• hey, it's Pinnacle Studio 24 Ultimate 
•  

This is the first 'wow' sale for me this BF. I'm in. ?

With all of the Plugin Alliance plugins that I own, I received no email with an extra discount.
That's a pretty sad statement.  I wouldn't use it, but just the fact that I didn't get one is
pretty revealing

You mean you discovered a non-random pattern in the way your spam filter is acting up? Could it really be... ?  ??

I didn't get to spend too much time with it. CPU usage is much lower than AT5. But I can't really tell how it was before the new Softube upgrade.

I was just messing about. Amp Room is one of those platforms that I really wanted to like and just couldn't. 

What's the update? It sounds good now? 

299$ ?

I've done the math:

- plugins I'd want from PA at sale prices: 100-150$

- cost of PA plugins I own , don't really use, and would happily let go: 200$+ 

Holidays are near, and in the spirit of Dirk's generous offer, I'd accept a 1-for-1 trade with PA. Quick and easy, no need to mess with kvr sale threads or silly bundles.

I do wish Overloud would sell the additional effects that some of the Rig Libraries come with separately - I've never had any real joy with the rigs getting a sound I like, but do get what I want (usually!) from the amp/cab/effects models, so expanding the effect palette wouldn't go amiss.

Which effects, though? As my case is the opposite (I like the rigs, not so much the regular patches) and only have TH-U Essential, I was looking through the rigs to see if I could identify the ones I like AND maybe come with a nice effect or two as a bonus. Bus as far as I can tell, only the BM rigs have two additional effects (the parallel compressor and a reverb). They used a bunch of pedals to sample most rigs, and they list them with the rigs ("boosted with"), but those are not available as separate effects inside TH-U. Or am I missing something?

I don't think they were always demo-able, thus I found my self with some Rigs that didn't really suit my needs.  Having said that, I found the Plexi, DM Mark, and Randall heads to be excellent and very flexible.  They're not included in the Essentials package but I'm also more interested in just a few of the Rig packs.  If they're captured separately from the cabs, the Rigs can be blended nicely with IRs that you can load into any of the speaker cabs that are provided outside of the Rig Player.

I'm going to try some more rigs, but they're so many, and you can only demo them for 1 day (I have no idea when/if that resets?), that I feel I have to be strategic about it, or I'll lose track of what I liked and what I didn't. IRs, yes, that should be fun, as normally I use a selection of IR's with everything, so things might only get better with them. ?

I have TH-U Premium or whatever they like to call it, pretty much the only thing I use it for is a glorified IR Loader with SuperCabinet.  That's another bottomless pit you can get into. The Jensen's are very good, well suited to Fender/Fenderish tones, but also others. The Amp Factory (TAF) and of course ChopTones are also very good, the latter's Boogie and Bogner and Friedman being among my fav's of theirs. But as for TH-Us standard amps and cabs, they do nothing for me, they just sound horrible, always have, don't know why I've kept upgrading since TH2, probably the same reason I stuck it out with NI's Guitar Rig since GR3, Guitar Rig, now there's a S.P.O.S if ever there was one, FX are ok I guess, I think I was just hoping they would come good, alas . . . 

I don't mind some of the stuff available for the Rig Player, I have a shit load of them. These are some of my fav's

BHS Friedman Hand wired 100W
BHS Friedman Naked
Choptones Fried Jackie
Choptones Fried Jerry
Mad In Italy MK50
MF TB 3Classic
MF TB 008
TB Puncher
Vocs 30 Heratige Hand Wired
LRS The Snake
Choptones Bogie Alone
TAF 80's Hair High Gain, not as hi gain metal mania as it may sound, personally I like it alot.
BM Filmprojector which was surprisingly good and very usable for an old Film projector amp/amps. Very good.

That was my surprise as well, having demoed TH-U Premium before, that the rigs are quite a step up in quality. I haven't tried many of the rigs in your list yet, but I'm with you on BM Filmprojector, I really liked it. I'm more into cleans/crunch, yet I found some excellent heavy patches as well; I liked the Bogie Dual Reverb 25 a lot. Is 50% off the best/target sale for these? They add up quickly, even when discounted. 

I just messed around with rigs for the past 3 hours or so. It's great that you can actually demo the rigs without owning TH-U, I had no idea you could do that. I've only demo-ed a couple of TH-U versions before, and wasn't too impressed, but the rigs are something else, there are some real gems in there. I picked up the TAF Summer Sunshine rig, but I might get some more in the future. Some personal/subjective notes:

- some of the rigs/patches sound/feel at least as authentic as any other amp sim I've tried

- comparatively limited options for usable tweaks; once you start playing around with the knobs (particularly with gain, for example with the Fender's) in the rig player, that authenticity quickly disappears (I guess that's what you'd expect, given that rigs are based on sampled amplifier signal chains)

- there are only a few basic effects included in TH-U Essential, so TH-U Essential + rigs is mostly about the amps and cabs  

- the interface is meh, but workable 

- there doesn't seem to be a TH-U Essential installer; the installer Overloud links to is the same as the full (demo) version, so I guess that the entire package has to be installed, with only the activated bits becoming available in the interface; not ideal, if this is the case

That "limited time discount" for all 3 should at least be perpetually held for owners of V1 when one considers there is no upgrade price for same? 

That would make sense. But I'm pretty sure it's going to be available for this amount and probably less going down the road. For people using their products professionally, it's a no-brainer purchase, as is. For the rest - and most of their existing/future customers, it's a value proposition, so they'll inevitably continue to try to get it out to as many people as they can via sales (just as with v1). I'm in the second category; I'm sure I'll get it at some point, but I don't feel any urgency (i.e. v1 satisfies my needs just fine without the new, admittedly significant, features).

 Unless IK introduces a pricing model where your TS upgrade price is based on what you already own.

They already have one. They just prefer to call it a group buy, for some reason. 

Forget about Black Friday. For someone just starting out, this is the best value package on the market. For many/most people, it won't even be close.

Upgrade to everything from RX10 Advances is $167.16 with code GROUP at JRR
https://www.jrrshop.com/izotope-everything-bundle-crossgrade-rx

It would be funny if this worked with RX Elements. Seeing that you can apparently get the upgrade price from O10 Advanced while only having O9, maybe they just don't care? ?
