ralfrobert Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Compared to the freebies last year, this is kind of ... meh I would say. Any other opinions? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidos Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Motion Harmonic Lite will probably be given away for free anyways like all the other Excite Audio Lite versions... Differences between Motion: Harmonic & Motion: Harmonic Lite: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me not want to buy anything cheap, that I probably won't use, to get something for "free" that I will also most likely not use. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwise Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 (edited) For those of you who are considering PB freebies, I highly recommend pedals from this bundle (also available individually). These are high quality Marshall pedal emulations. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/81-Bundles/39-Effects-Bundles/7810-The-British-Tanks-Collection They also stack exceptionally well, which is not always true for real pedals and nearly non-existent in the digital realm.

A great recommendation. The individual pedals are often discounted by 50% so each comes down to $10 during sales. But I haven't seen this bundle get discounted proportionately during those periods. Meaning, the four Marshall pedals on sale add up to 4x10=$40, so purchasing all four separately works out to be cheaper than the bundle, which shouldn't be the case. Though ofcourse, if you were buying at non-sale prices then the bundle would appear cheaper ($44 vs $80). Also, you can download a demo which emits noise periodically once the trial expires but it still good enough to give you a feel of the overall product should you be considering purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFigg Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I really like Audiority stuff. Especially their Echorec and their Electric Mistress. Was disappointed with the Bluesbreaker pedal in this bundle though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it's a good idea to demo stuff first. 😊 FWIW, Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal is the secret sauce in John Mayer's signal chain. Last time I checked, there were not many plugin emulations of this pedal or the entire series, recently re-issued by Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more of a tonebender mk2 man myself. Just bought a Blues Driver pedal (not a bluesbreaker) and it’s got a really great tone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracingArcs Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Phew! I was lucky this morning then. Bought TDR Kotelnikov GE at 11.30 am (UK time) and got Dawesome Love as my freebie. Maybe 30 mins later would have been different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to get his style of tone with a Strat and a Two-Rock or Dumble, no $150 pedal needed. I've used a King of Tone (which is a more refined BB circuit) for over a decade and since it is a pedal it will reduce the dynamic range and touch sensitivity of a good amp. I've also had an original BB, and while it is better than a tube screamer, it certainly can be improved upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundwise Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 I thought we were discussing sleeper plugins that are actually worth paying for, especially if you want to get one (or more) of the freebies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally the strategy is buy some low priced junk you will never use so you can get the decent free with purchase item. In this case the strategy is to buy something decent for cheap so they throw in something you have no interest in. That being said, I think we can all appreciate a month free of temptation like this one is this far. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it's just me. 😄 On the other hand it means that the generation gap just got bigger. While Xers and Boomers tend to cling on to more traditional, analog-ish stuff, Millennials and Gen Zers are brave enough to explore new ways to process audio. Things that don't work for me, for you or other similar minded folks might work miracles for others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
