I'm not sure on that price either.. it does seem like diminishing returns compared to the V5 bundle, at least on initial thoughts.

Welcome Pluto and I would expect an updated version would be AmpliTube 6 or sometimes a small update it might be AmpliTube 5.5 or something. Those Hitmaker ones weren't great from memory.. Their drums like the Neil Pert Kits I do like though. But sometimes with these Group Buys you end up running out of choices!

That's for Amplitube 5 Max V2 though, so the V2 version is of the Max bundle as opposed to Amplitube itself from my understanding. Sounds like adding the effects from the Max V2 bundle would get you the equivalent of the bundle. Amplitube itself still would be the same version though, so not V2 as there isn't one.

That's what I was thinking too. It's an unusual take on the player version. Most companies have a player and when you have the full version it unlocks all the options from the expansion/sound packs on the main version.

I'd agree with that! For experimental stuff and really nice warm analog sound it shines even more. Still great for general delay duties too.

It's easy to dismiss as just another delay plugin, but I do find this one a bit more interesting and it sounds great! I use it a bit, but i don't think of it as often as I should either.

It's possible your bestcoins may have expired, but it you email the guys they should hopefully be able to restore your previous orders. Might be worth asking about the coins too 🙂

Amp Sim also offers several tone shaping options, which unlock a world of sonic possibilities. Tone chasing just got better! https://www.airmusictech.com/truefire-offer/

Yeah it's so bizarre! Have to give them credit for dropping the download expiries though. That was a huge way to alienate customers. If they got someone to proofread some of these things, or maybe even ask AI to write it, or check it, they could solve a few more!

So true Brian, I'd agree with all of that. They're lucky they have some great products and generous group buys, as otherwise there's no way they would do as well!

Would've caused a lot less confusion if they just worded it differently, like you have 🤣

Agreed, I think they went a little far in that direction this time too. If it sounds good, then it wouldn't stop me using, it buying it and it would be easy for them to update with a skin/update but I don't like the visual aspect of it.

Almost (if not) everything Neold make is good.. I don't think I want to demo this, otherwise I might want to buy it.. haha..

https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/42235504915988-FAQ-LUNA-Pro-2-0-Update When is LUNA Pro 2.0 releasing? LUNA 2.0 and LUNA Pro 2.0 will be released on Oct. 21st, 2025. What’s going to be included in LUNA Pro 2.0? We’ve decided not to announce the entire contents of the updated LUNA Pro quite yet… but you can expect 15 additional UAD plug-ins, hardware inserts, Melodyne Essentials, and more! What will LUNA Pro 2.0 cost? LUNA Pro 2.0 will be priced at $199; however, anyone who owns the original LUNA Pro bundle will qualify for a FREE upgrade to LUNA Pro 2.0 once it is released on Oct. 21st. Even better, LUNA Pro is currently on sale for $129, so it’s a great time to make a purchase now and get upgraded to LUNA Pro 2.0 for free on Oct. 21st. Who exactly qualifies for the free upgrade to LUNA Pro 2.0? Anyone who owns the original LUNA Pro bundle will be eligible to redeem a free upgrade to LUNA Pro 2.0. This means if you purchased LUNA Pro outright, or simply purchased all of the plug-ins that make up LUNA Pro individually or through purchasing another bundle like UAD Ultimate 11, 12, or 13, or UAD Complete 2 or 3, you qualify for the free upgrade. Note: Promotional plug-in licenses do not count towards LUNA Pro ownership. If you only own a promotional license for a plug-in included in LUNA Pro, you will not qualify for the free upgrade. In this context, promotional licenses are defined as a license you got for free, like as part of a plug-in giveaway or bundled with hardware. I only own a promotional license for one or more plug-ins included in LUNA Pro, but otherwise own a full license for all the other plug-ins. Is there a discount available for me? Yes! If you only own a promotional license for one or more of the plug-ins included with LUNA Pro, but otherwise own a full license for all the other plug-ins in LUNA Pro, you will qualify for a $49 upgrade to LUNA Pro 2.0. I bought LUNA Pro a long time ago. Do I still qualify for the free upgrade? Yes! Anyone who has purchased LUNA Pro since it was originally released qualifies for the free upgrade. How do I know if I qualify for the free upgrade? The easiest way is to go to the LUNA Pro product page while logged into your account and see if there is an “Owned” badge in the top left corner. Additionally, if the bundle is owned, the “Add to Cart” button will say “Buy Again” instead. You can also check to see if you own all of the following plug-ins and extensions that make up the LUNA Pro bundle by visiting the “Plug-Ins” page on your account.

When the free upgrade is available, we will update this FAQ with instructions on how to upgrade. Can I trial LUNA Pro 2.0? Yes, once LUNA Pro 2.0 goes live, we will have a 14-day trial available.

I looked at some of their plugins ages ago, but from wherever I could see, there was no mention of any of them being VST3. It would be interesting to know if these are still being developed / supported.

I kind of like this analogy, but I'm also a little mixed on it. A lot of craftsman will often buy the very best tool from whichever brand makes the best of each particular type of tool, rather than just a manufacturer that is able to sell them all. Much like the stock tools in the DAW are a complete toolkit, they're often not the best option for all of them (although some stock plugins are often seriously overlooked gems!). I would say Omni is a caliber above stock plugins of course, but I look at it more not as in spending less, but spending the same amount as you could on Omni, on options that surpass some of Omni's functions and add breadth to the options when they might be on par. Same with the car analogy. From my limited use of it and all the demos and walkthroughs I've seen, I'm not sure I'd personally class it as a Ferrari, but instead more an XL, or Sports Edition, or something. I think Omni is a really good tool, but not orders of magnitude higher than the others and not in the same way that a Ferrari is a whole lot more horsepower, design and quality than an average comparison. But I can see the convenience of having very capable options in the one tool for speed and simplicity, especially when you're on the clock. Even for staying in the creative flow there's a case for it too. Unless you have a shortlist of go to best in breed options that you know like the back of your hand as well, as then you stay in zone anyway. That's not to say I'll never buy it.. I think it seems really good and interesting. I might get bored one day and pick it up anyway, but for that price, there's no real gap it fills (for me) to justify spending that much in today's market and even less so with the alternate options I already have for it.

Will be interesting to hear your thoughts on it once you've been able to get it installed and had a chance to play around with it Mark.
