I'd suggest trying it out. With all due respect to the video creator....yes it is nice to get a video out quickly to gain views but setting all the amps to have the knobs all at "12 o'clock" isn't exactly going to showcase how an amp should sound or respond. Just finding 2 amps in there and really tweaking them to actually sound good would have been far more valuable to the "community" interested in buying the thing. IMO.

I'm not a piano expert but it is the best sounding piano vst I've owned. The size is related to the number of mic pairs you can use (and blend). It has been a demo for a few months.

Yeah, I read that but I also think it is misleading since AD automatically applies it for you. The website linked is simply skimming the listed website prices - which doesn't tell the whole picture. It might be different if you need to be in the know about what a code is.

Nah, audio deluxe is cheaper you just have to login and add it to your cart.

No question it is worth that! ?

I like the Mturboamp for what it is (and think the intro price is about where it should be to get people interested in it - since you also need to have some cab sim /IR after it otherwise it sounds terrible). Related to the tweaking rabbit hole - for me in particular this thing isn't like the AxeFx becuase the tweaking it has isn't normal guitar player stuff and while it is interesting to tweak things under the hood - I don't feel like it actually encourages it. If there were clear knobs and parimeters to the normal amp circuit and biasing stuff along with endless cab combos and mic lockers it would be different. I tend to stick to the front end of this thing most of the time. (I started demoing this thing what must have been at least a year ago)

Also $19 at Plugin Boutique (plus playbeat lite thrown in) https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/18-Amp-Simulator/9219-MTurboAmp I'm waiting on Direct from Melda to see if they will lift the exclusion on this from referal credits redemption. Also curious what Audio Deluxe will come out with for a potential discount.

Of course literally the only plugin from Waves I care about = not put on v14

Because many of us are only interested in the top tier plugins at $31. The vast majority of them we wouldn't buy at that level. Sales plus vouchers (timed properly) can still put us at below $31 as the right combo comes along. I've also said it before, I think once this "Soundwide Intro" bundle offer passes we will either see the voucher min change or the PA store is going to get more Izotope/NI products added. As we have seen all month long, they continue to run sales on individual plugins at the $20-30 level (i.e. below $31).

Have both but that one is an easy choice, Amek 9099. True Peak has been less than $30 a few times and expect it to happen again. I like it, but there was a decent amount of criticism on release on the other side of the fan faire.

Mine was over 20 seconds. But I am on an older machine (but do have SSD and 16 gigs of ram)

I have another account, but I just created another account in literally less than 15 seconds and was logged in.

This. And for the people that just want to try the tech out and don't need all the extras there is a stripped down "micro" free stereo version. https://www.dear-reality.com/products/dearvr-micro

Vox isn't entirely the issue I use vox too. But once you combine that with the word "amp" it is no longer about vocals and 100% about one of the most famous guitar amps in the world.

This. I expected a guitar amp sim. Vox Amp and distortion, either they are intentionally trying to get views or created by someone with no guitar experience.

Well the amp I'm sure was super loud in that small room and therefore sensitive to feedback (even though the gain / saturation wasn't that high -harmonics can be insane with them). When he switches the vocal mic off most of that major noise you hear goes away which is a testament to just how loud the amp was compared to a speaking voice even when clean. It will pickup dirty pots and things like that more than other amps, but if your electronics are well shielded, clean, and potted then Wrecks are not "noisy" amps...they are however extremely loud. I measured my friend's Rocket with an Ampeg 4x12 with pre-rolla 30s in it at over 120db about 8-10 feet away with the gain knob a little past 9'oclock.

There are a number of adjustments you can make on the NA to get a less in your face sound

I've played a few of the "real thing" and there is some truth to no two are alike the basic circuit is much more forgiving than a Trainwreck is when swapping out components. Most ODS models have some fairly similar characteristics that help define the sound and how the controls work. Between particular amps some might have more gain, more compression, and all that kind of stuff so there is some difference but at the same time simply changing mics or mic positions and cabs also dramaticly change the tone and feel of an amp perhpas even more than the changes in components. So in terms of an emulation, I think there is a lot of "does it get the basics" mentality. I'm not one who buys into the hype on these but I do like the voicing of the clean channel more than most other amps. The actual overdrive isn't really my cup of tea as for all the "touchresponsiveness" claims, the reality it isn't anywhere in the same ballpark as a Trainwreck. Dumbles are overly compressed and far less dynamic in a tactical approach. As for the BX vs NA takes. I will say the NA has the less fizzy top end on note decay on clean stuff and some of the functions like "harsh" and the Mic position, mixer and ambient control on the Cabinet tab really help to shape the sound in a way the BX doesn't have built in. (though the smooth filer ca help some like the harsh filder on NA) Note the BX one is made by the same guy. I'll have to spend more time with it, but giving the slight edge to the NA over BX for the sound/feel/adjustability. Either one is a really good amp sim though.

Might come in handy to meet new min spend for voucher requirements

I think we can expect $30.99 or whatever the forever 29 deal is...and that is how to get it.

Meh, looks too similar to actually sound different. ? Seriously though, curious about this as I think the original is pretty good.

The trick is they are all cheap once you sign up for the newsletters and start getting vouchers, etc. (well that was until they raised the min purchase price). A few years ago I thought they were all out of my price range too until I found out about the way the company operates. Now I own around 90 of them.

FYI I don't think v1 had a serial number. Id imagine proof of purchase would be all it takes to sort it out if PB can't help.

T-Bone 2 - Free update for current owners We intended to just give T-Bone a quick update, but we ended up getting carried away with the whole thing and now it's waaaay more powerful than version 1. It changed from a simple tilt EQ to a full blown Tone Machine. While we probably should have just called it a new plugin and sold it as such, we're still going to give existing owners of T-Bone a free upgrade to version 2. https://www.bozdigitallabs.com/my-account/downloads/ I always liked T-Bone, haven't gotten to use this to any extent yet, but thus far looks like a great update. Good interface and a resizable update also

Make sure you actually get the freebies then. The promo clearly stated that any synth acquired via a give away/freebie would not qualify. I know I registered one from a give away and was even a V2 and it did not unlock the GB, I did however pay to get in on the GB.
