This one is pretty decent.

I was really surprised at how good it sounds. I'm well covered for plugins in that area (yes you could say saturated!) but it's still a little different and I can see it being used quite a lot.

Honestly, I almost haven't used them, I have other alternatives. And I purchased Stereoplacer3 for a special task that I have not yet started (trying to separate cymbals in a drum track).

Too many Plugins not enough time? ? It can actually be like though! Sooner or later I'm sure we'll probably end up getting through them all.. as long as we stop getting new ones at some stage!

Sounds like an interesting use case with separating the cymbals. Hope it does the trick nicely ?

It was free in BPB on the last October... ?

Yeah its not uncommon for the Things to have freebies, or free with purchase at all! Still not bad if someone doesn't already have it though ?

Just now, marled said:

Again, not for me! That's the disadvantage if you already have too many plugins! ? (I got the Monofilter and Stereoizer Elements as freebies, too. And I purchased Stereoplacer3 as a deal).

I feel your pain on that one.. I've had to sit on the sidelines with a number heaps(!) of freebies because I already owned them ?

How are you liking them all? Would you rate them and are you considering upgrading any of them to their full versions?

Pretty amazing freebie (with purchase) this time. Already got Monofilter and Stereoizer Elements, only missing Stereoplacer. 

First decent freebie with purchase in quite a while.. hopefully it's the start of many more! ?

I got Monofilter the other day and it's a little basic, but I don't mind it. This a a great way to get the Elements versions in case you want to upgrade any down the track.

I guess given the price differential and the inclusion of iLok, there must be a VERY BIG difference between xils-lab's version and cherry audio's version?

I'm not sure it's ever really safe to assume that based on that criteria. Some companies just charge a lot more...

I do expect these would be quite decent though and the feedback on them is normally pretty good. I haven't pulled the trigger on them yet, but that's primarily due to price.

The consensus seems to be the Cherry Audio emulations sounds really good, but not necessarily as close an emulation as some competition. If you're purely after the original sounds, then maybe that makes them not quite as good, but if they sound great then that counts for a lot as well. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to have a few options.

Mostly look like their regular sale prices to me, but if you've been waiting for a sale to grab something, then it might be a good time ?

Since PA raised the minimum spend from $25 never used these vouchers anymore.

Agreed on that for the most part. This one is separate to the monthly loyalty vouchers though.

When comes the first no-brainer deal from xils-lab ? - I have been waiting for it for a decade now...  ??

I think we may need Lars back and some super sleuthing to find one of those, because I've never seen one from them either! ?

Bargain! TDR's stuff is always top notch and ridiculously well-priced even when it's not on sale.

Completely agreed. They're worthy of the full price.. In saying that, I've only picked them up on sale though ?

Also, if you're specifically interested in the TDR Kotelnikov GE -- and your interest reaches up and grabs you by August 7th, as mine is threatening to do -- that's on double-sale (80% off) at Plugin Boutique for ten bucks:

https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/71-Dynamic-Processor/4657-TDR-Kotelnikov-GE

Total no brainer at that price. Not for the feint hearted though.. that is one hell of a versatile and complex compressor. If I didn't already own it, I'd be snapping that one up.

Head Crusher by Audio Assault $3 with code! (analog modeled saturator)

Use code AAFIFTY to get it for $3 instead of $49.99. Not sure how much longer this will work.

I've been testing this out and for the price it's pretty amazing and worthy of it's own post. I've got plenty of saturation plugins, but this has some cool options and is easy to dial in a great sound. Includes a mix knob as well, so easy to blend some heavy saturation. Works really well on the drum buss.

No brainer at that price.

Head Crusher

• Analog Goodness
• Head Crusher is an analog modeled saturator, based on 4 different pieces of classic hardware.
• Head Crusher is perfect for giving more "oomph" to any source you feed it, use it to make a bass line cut through small speakers, make your drum bus sound much more powerful, or simply use it to destroy anything to taste.

Can also use AAFIFTY for 50% off which even works on things like this and Head Crusher which is on sale also.

For $3 each it's pretty laughable how cheap they are. Even just for the IRs alone in there it's probably worth it ?

I picked this up in a previous sale.  It’s not yet M1 Native but I assume they’ll eventually update all current amps to be.

This emulates the EVH 5150 but has a knob that blends between the 6L6 and EL34 versions (and the faceplate also changes color from white to gold).  I thought that was a cool feature.

I liked that feature too and they seem pretty good with their updates. It's not uncommon for me to receive a free update out of the blue and sometimes even new products for free based off things I've picked up previously.
