I would have said the same 6 years ago, but the market has shifted. Most of us realize that the majority of effect based plugins do not give us more than a few dollars worth of actual value in real life. There are exceptions of course but most TD stuff is the I already have alternatives in the collection types and thus an expensive purchase for more of the same is off the table now.

They also had to release an update right after an update release on the same day after people had been beta testing this for a bit already. For perspective, between the announcement release, the 2nd release and then the actual fixed release. I downloaded over 18 GIGs from them to get my computers operational with the new update. Imagine someone doing this on a poor connection or even a metered one. Not to mention a couple hours of my time doing the installs and waiting on the fairly slow downloads due to the limited bandwidth servers (not the connection getting to said servers). I'm not complaining because the product itself is so good, but I understand the critique.

Interesting, I didn't realize this one is another colab thing. I'd also like to get Deedger but they priced themselves out of my range there.

Looks cool but also wonder what made them come in at a substantially higher price point for this release than other things they have done in the past. (other than the super esoteric and odd lathe cutting simulator they released)

have you used it? It seems so poorly implemented that it is worthless. Ether that or my computer is broken.

Always appreciate an included update but also surprised they didn't allow for more dramatic resizing. Certainly not terrible but when we see 1 update every 5 years I'd like to see attention paid to current requests.

Getting extraction issues on the 1.10.1 update across multiple computers here.

The capture batch processing is a LONG awaited update. That said, I find this part concerning and am curious what this looks like as I think it could muddy the waters if it lowers the capture quality for people with mediocre systems that were willing to let an advanced capture take many hours. This shouldn't be a problem for my system in particular but I can imagine buying a capture pack and not knowing if TONEX makes a call based on "best results for their system in the shortest time" vs literally the best quality possible which is what I'm after.

Appears the authorization is via a License Key (instead of other ridiculous systems). Don't need any of them I'm sure, but why not.

Unless PA went back on their word all existing codes should no longer be usable as they set a date that already passed where the codes would be valid until. I'd be careful about buying any at this point unless you confirm with PA directly. That said, which plugin are you planning to get with it? If I have it, there is a chance I'd sell the license itself as most of them I don't use much.

Seems like the free pack is just 5 wav files (4 of which are the same gun recorded at different distances) unless I'm missing a code to get the full pack

Gave it a quick demo. Easy to use and a very nice highly resizable interface. I'd argue that the repeats are certainly ok but do not sound like actual tape (or BBD) degradation as the feedback repeats continue if you are used to legitimate hardware. That said, I certainly find the interface and ease of use better than quite a few paid options out there.

Another plugin maker making things needlessly complicated. Own a real Deluxe Memory Man and it doesn't have anywhere close to that many options/knobs/switches, though if you ignore the "new stuff" it is fine.

That is closer to Strymon delay tweak ability. I'm thinking more time, feedback, level with an on off switch (and maybe a mod on off button). 😁 (and I also have quite a few plugin delays, but honestly most of them simply do not work like an old school guitar pedal - or they don't sound like one). The only delay plugin I actually like is the Audiority Echorec and it is pretty complex and cpu hungry.

I disagree. Most delays in a DAW do not offer the sound and simplicity of a basic guitar pedal delay. Haven't used this yet, but seems like it might actually do that.
