CLA is my guilty favorite as well...but JJP is actually more broad based and useful.

So you guys don't think that Kramer is worth $69???
How about Rennasiance Maxx for $69???

The Lovely Lady has a sign that says
"I only have a kitchen because it came with the house"
I need a bumper sticker that says
"I only have Kramer because it came with Mercury"

Baps,
How do you like REDD??? I can get it for $161 and was
wondering if it's worth it...

Sorry to say, have not tried it yet. Been doing more tracking lately.

The Kramer is my least favorite of the Signature bundles. Maybe good if you're into a '60s-rock thing ... a quick demo will tell you what kind of sound you'll get with those plugs.
I'd rank these bundles in this order of usefulness:
1. CLA
2. Maserati
3. JJP
4. Kramer
But this is mostly a matter of taste. As always, YMMV.
Cheers,
Eddie
P.S. I'm more impressed with the sale price of the API / V-series bundle. Note to self: always wait until Black Friday to start buying any plugins.

That's a good deal ... I think Ren Maxx is way more useful than any of the Sig bundles. At least, it's more versatile and tweakable, if not quite as much fun (at first). Try it for yourself and see. Cheers, Eddie

I have Maserati.... I already have the V-Series, got that with Gold...and it ALONE was worth the price of Gold... I'd love to get the API for $175 right now....I'm just short of that...you can get the API550 and API 560 at Musicians Friend right now for $100 each...but I'd rather get the package with the 2500 included...I've heard these plugs are dead on for the hardware...

I'll give ol Eddie Kramer a kudo since he seems to be taking a few brickbats here: If you want to get that "old school" Zep, Jimi, kind of sound he got back in the day his collection is very good indeed. But it does seem rather limited to that. I paid a c-note for it a while back and have not been disappointed. Of course, in my line of work I have to be able to regurgitate everything from Eminem to the London Philharmonic and all points in between. So I need a BIG coloring box;-)

I was shocked by the redd! I couldn't believe how well it made my guitar tracks sound.
If you want to glue some tracks together, this is the plug. I used the 17 on some guitar tracks that were almost peaking and used the pad and they sound awesome now. Tonight I am running tests on the 51, but really like the 17 and plan on using it on all my guitar tracks. Great sound.
I recorded three songs with the redd 17 and saw a huge difference after adding redd. Very nice glue and feel to it.
Hope this helps.

Make sure you try out the m/s feature while you're at it. Very nice.
