Oh joy, another UAD sale
half yearly sale I don't have many UAD compressors, just the bundled and precision buss comp. After trying the demos a few times I'm pretty sure it's the dbx 160 that has suddenly become essential here

Although I would like to add the Lex Verb to my already bloated UAD plug list...I'm kinda cold on UA now. Still great stuff but overpriced...especially when you include the cost of the cards. I find myself using most of my UA stuff less and less. Although the exceptions to that I couldn't live without. YMMV.

YMMV. Hey Pal, I feel your pain but when you consider the cost of the original hardware (Fatso, Manley, etc.), it doesn't seem so bad to me. Anyway, I've been waiting for the 1081 to go on sale again. Sold. :-)

Today's funds require that even I skip the sale on the Lex. It's about the only thing of the last three or four that even excites me.

+1 on the Harrison, I don't regret that one a bit. I talked myself out of the dbx 160 last night. I was able to get about the same results with the pro channel comps. I have reverbs covered with my powercore plugs but I don't have any delay plug that I really love. I'm going to demo those I think.

They each have their place... I have a bad feeling I may end up with both by the end of the month. Echoplex eats a lot more of the DSP, but it has that sound you can't really get from anything else. Already have the FabFilter delay which is great for strange delay effects, but I like the simplicity and sound of the two UAD models I've been playing with.

No, I'm demoing that again right now too. TC's Character is still more to my liking for bass at the moment but I'm warming up to it. I can't rule that one out for my grab this time but I'm wanting a different delay right now I think.

You mentioned compressors... not sure what the discount is on the Fatso, but I really, really like the way it sounds and feels. They market it as tape saturation, but believe me... it's much more of a modern compressor with some character. I've been running one with the tranny on for my lead vocal channel and another on my master buss with less saturation(I think I leave the tranny off on that one). Now, if you don't have at least a Duo, you might not want to get it, as it takes a lot of DSP, but I have a Quad so I grabbed it after demoing it for about an hour. It does things that I can't get with any other compressor or channel plugin. Another notable compressor is the new 1176 bundle, but I don't know if it's discounted much this month. I think it still shows the same $149 I paid for it when it first came out. It's a big improvement over the original 1176 or any of the others I have tried. (I have the Pro Channel 1176 and the IK version as well.)

Before you drop your dime on the UA delays at least check out SoundToys EchoBoy. With it and Timeless 2 you'll have basically any delay type sound covered.

I only have a solo card now so not sure if I can get much mileage out of the fatso Thanks ole pal, I'll try Echo boy and Timeless 2 out.
