You cannot transfer inactive licenses, or inactive licenses which require a fee to be paid. You cannot transfer subscription bundle licenses! If you have a license for a multiple versions of a plugin (for example, bx_digital V2 and bx_digital V3), then those licenses cannot be transferred separately. After the license has been created in your account, it is blocked for a license transfer for thirty days. (This affects license purchase, license transfer, etc.) FREE Licenses can’t ‌be sold, for example the ones you get when you open a PA account, like bx_cleansweepV2, bx_rockrack Player, bx_solo, bx_subfilter, elysia niveau filter, bx_freeranger, etc. Not sure about deals on the MEGA Subscription as I like to own plugins they sell and since the voucher can only be used in a single shot, there is stress around picking the right time and that likley means you are not realy gettign the best possible deal on owning them as that only happens when you play your cards right over time. ONly the latest PA plugins are "cost prohibitive" to buy where if you want them a Subscription makes sense, IMO.

Most assuredly, the question is who is going to bring up the fact the email when they were sent out said they are good till the end of September, not the 26th? They had quite the backlash last time, would have thought they would be more careful moving forward.

Only becuase it isn't resizable. It is actually one of the most basic/straight forward EQ layouts I can think of that offers a few extra features on it.

You can't load IRs direclty into it, but there are free IR loaders out there and there is a convienient bybass the built in IRs button.

True to my word, a very generious benefactor supplied a $25 voucher and I bought it without any demo whatsoever. I fired it up after the purchase and knew within 2 minutes it was money well spent. The clean channel doesn't stay clean for long but has a good range of chime and grit on tap in the low/mid gain range. Channel 2 provides excellent Plexi tone, I like the clarity and voicing better than say the BE100. The feedback (turned up) is nice for giving a more amp like no hold barred tone. But can be turned down to mellow things out. Crunch, Boost, and Bring add a fair deal of versitility when coubled with the other controls. I appreciate the Depth to allow various levels of "3Dness" when dealing with static IRs. The key to all of it is realism in both tone and response to playing. I'm placing it as standing among some of the better PA Amp sims and a fair amount of versatility too considering you don't expect that out of a "marshall" style amp. (though the clean channel is suposed to be in more the american vein though I'd say you woudl have to turn the input gain quite low to get the clean level of headroom I associate with "clean american" amps) . Primary critique would likley be the noise floor is a little on the high side. Of course you get this in a real recording scenario, but always makes me wonder if it isn't possible to get rid of more of it in the digital realm with these simulations.

Train II, and Overdrive Supreme (though this one can get some fizz in the top end on the clean side) can be setup to sound and feel surprisingly authentic. I have experience with real tranwrecks as well as a Dumble ODS. They are not the same, but given you can run these things at low volumes I've been impressed with the general response and tone. Rockergain was a surprise to me. (I've been to the Orange HQ in GA as my friend knows the lead amp tech for America) so I've played thorugh some solid modded oranges. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is. If you try the Train II make sure to spend time adjusting the input gain...that has a massive impact on the versatility. I'd likley argue that is one of the most unique offerings from the PA amp lineup as other Wreck style emulations are few and far between. (Dr. Z-Wreck with AT5 being another one, but that doesn't have the same range on tap) Not all the PA amp sims are equal though that is for sure.

I actually think they are the best in the business (not a fan of the ENGLs though) I would buy this without a demo of it in a heartbeat if I had a $25 monthly voucher.

On a related note, I have some magic beans for sale if anyone is in the market....

Or if you add the "free meter" code and don't use that, the total comes down to $23.99 due to dynamic discounts.

Got the same offer here and was also a bit sad I already have everything offered....I mean at least tempt me with melda I don't have. Good stuff for those that don't have these though.

I have a single physical dongle also with something like ~40 things activated on it on the main tower. But the laptop then gets the local authorizations. The problem is I'm not aware that you can have two ilok accounts on the same machine. Thus the laptop gets ~39 authroizations (all the other non-slate) plugins.

Yep that beats the deal I posted (which also ended up returning to the normal price).

This one is great, but the problem is that they only allow 1 single "non-cloud" ilock authorization. Extremely frustrating for those of us with 2 or more computers to have do deal with such limitations...free or paid. Kinda treats the customers a bit like trash by doing this...

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is "yes" you can key lock to scales and you can do so in a few different ways.

Yes, I didn't mean to imply using a CC directly but using a different form of payment with PP than direclty out of a bank account. Though if you use a CC to pay with PP I've always gotten the foreign transaction fees (of some kind) so that doesn't avoid that problem...I'm simply suggesting that pulling out of your bank account might have the transaction fees but it also likely gives you less recourse as a buyer (obviously dependent on the bank it pulls from, how PP handles, as well as your CC company). So speaking in generalities.

Yep, but also having Paypal pull directly out of your bank account has its own shortcomings too. Much better chance of having recourse with a bad transaction if you have a good credit card as the payment method. Plugin Boutique has never given me any problems with what feels like countless transactions...(for the record)

I made the attempt and got a payment rejection each time (with different sources). Not sure this going to be of any value to a US buyer.

It is really a cool plugin. It has uses beyond the master bus too. So even if you don't get far into a project keep it in mind as an effect!

Unless you are in the UK, how did you get them to ship hardware to you if the checkout process literally will not accept a non-UK zip code?

I don't either, but the checkout process (before payment) suggests shipping (and requires a UK address) and no option for digital delivery...so I'm weary of putting in a UK address to fulfill the order only to simply be out the monies. Thus wondering if anyone tried...

Seems they want a physical delivery in the UK any way around this?

I personally didn't have any other EQs where I can literally draw the "form" I want...then it applies filters to sounds more or less like what you wanted (and you have settings to vary the accuracy, number of filters, etc. It is more of a difference of workflow than function with this one.

meh, this is nothing. I complained when they increased my voucher from $25 to $50 that in next level ingratitude. (granted, it actually worked well last month and I ended up using the $50 thanks to the flood sale - and I also didn't complain anywhere other than this unrelated forum in a random post).

Yeah, I have some kilohearts stuff, but never really use it. I find their sales never get to the same places as other vendors and in that sub $10 range never have anything I want (or don't already have). the Melda EQ wasn't an essential or higher tier Melda offering so it was more of a just buy the cheapest thing to get it. So I'm viewing it as buying the EQ for $5.60.

This was the cheapest crap I could find to get the Melda EQ. https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/wav-samples/vocal-trap-melodies-2/ Should be worth it.
