It's a great price.

I paid $69 last BF - that was a good price.

Lol, haven't hear that song in ages.

Pre MTV - back when guitars were mighty and album art cool...

After getting use to it I like it.
I like Neon - it makes it easy to see what the status is on the controls.

I like when knobs have the additional band around them that show the amount of change like this:

For controls that have either left/right or -/+ values it instantly let's me see whats going on.

But some skins implement it differently and with those I think it just confuses things.
For example the Minimalist skin:

I consider the above misinformation or even a bug.

Arghhhh.

It seems to be coming late this year.

So you're wondering what's the deal?
or how to deal with it?
 

Personal I'd rather postpone and not deal with triple digit heat ALAP.

I use to work with a Mercedes. She was cute, smart and unlike the car - high maintenance.
 

Not that it really matters that much but still no VST3 version.

Bummer of a first pedal.

I have the NO-2 version of this pedal.
NO-3 processes nothing twice as fast with no sonic artifacts...

Looks interesting but is there a demo or any YouTube videos on this? 

If you install it and don't have a license you have the option to run their plugins in demo mode.

https://www.toneboosters.com/download.html

from above web page:

• All plug-ins for personal computers are efficiently packed into one plug-in installer.
• The installer is provided in the form of an automatic installer as well as portable zip archive for manual installs.
• The installer can be used to install ToneBoosters plug-ins on your computer and to update existing installations.
• Demo plug-ins can be trialed without time limit; saving of settings will however be disabled in demo mode.
• Upgrading a demo plugin to a fully functional registered version requires purchase of a registration key file or activation code.

I've installed it as a demo, since I don't currently have a license, but won't have time to test it for at least a day or 2.

East West Goliath & Silk have updates.
No details...

That auto deal on their site did one funny deal

Metal Basics Drum Midi Pack $7 $5

Lol, well if you're going to make them work on a holiday weekend...

Zynaptiq UNFILTER is on sale – $149 instead of $389 through May 31st.
https://www.zynaptiq.com/unfilter/

UNFILTER, the original and award-winning "smart" equalizer, solves even the most tricky corrective EQ tasks automatically (or manually, if preferred) - adaptively catch rogue frequencies, gently re-balance frequency response dynamically, apply sampled filter responses to a sound, or just use it as a clean, tight and smooth sounding free-form EQ. Suitable for artists and engineers working in sound design, mixing, mastering, forensics, broadcast, and audio-post, UNFILTER is a highly flexible precision tool.

The key UNFILTER features at a glance:

• Mastering grade adaptive, free-form and graphic equalization plus 96dB/oct HPF.
• Automatic detection and removal of EQ issues like resonances, previous equalization, roll-offs and comb- filtering from recordings.
• Export of filter responses to or import from linear- or minimum-phase impulse response files (WAV).
• Application of measured filter responses to other signals.

For more information please visit the UNFILTER website; to download a free trial, please visit the UNFILTER downloads page.

Edit: this plugin was update May 22nd, 2019 - see post below

XLN Audio updates are available for DS-10 Drum Shapper & RC-20 Retro Color.
Can't find any info on what the changes are or when they were actually released.

Run the XLN Online Installer to obtain.
 

If your Windows 10 system doesn't see the 1903 update here's info how to manually download it...

The alternative is installing it manually. This is a little more involved and for me worked like this: First, go to the Update Assistant page.  There, it says: "The Update Assistant can help you update to the latest version of Windows 10. To get started, click Update now."

Then download the "Windows10Upgrade" file, open it, and a screen pops up that says "Update to the latest version of Windows 10" and at the bottom says "Update Now."
