Trident A-Range EQ--Softube or UAD?

I have the Trident Softube and it is great. For a while when I first got it, I put it on every track and it never taxed my system. 

I don't have the UAD but the Softube Trident is a great eq, very nice for tracking guitars & drum bus.
I wouldn't  purchase solely for trying to match it with the console though. You could use any eq or combo of channel & bus modules.
I've been trying the new CE's in X2 in combo with NLS & Nebula Alex B.
 I haven't tried VCC in combo yet but will tell you the Trident model on that is probably my fav out of all of them, wide & clean.

You probably already know but if not Softube is having a 'buy plugin, get free fx'  promo starting Sept 19-Oct 16.

For the Trident A-Range Native ($199.99)  the free fx is the Spring Reverb, Tube Delay, Acoustic Feedback

Carl:  Oddly, i can't find this promo on the Softube site; I am probably looking in the wrong place.  Can you give a link?

Am I correct that this is in fact a good price/deal?  I have not been following the prices or sales, but from googling the product, it seems that this deal is about as good as it gets.  


Also, my ear keeps coming back to that Spring Reverb as part of the combo.  Is the Spring Reverb cool?  It has a "tube driver" stage with the bass and treble controls; that sounds like it would be a great feature.


So, any comments about whether or not this price is something to jump on, and also about the Spring Reverb?

Not sure if it's the best deal. Don't recall what I paid but I don't think it was close to $199.99.
Maybe a bit higher because of the freebie promo? 
Haven't tried the verb.

Hey, just wanted to mention that you can pick up those Softube EQs for a discount at Audio Deluxe -- the Trident goes for $170, for example.  That's the normal price, though.  Softube will inevitably run specials on that and their other plugins which will save you good money. 
 
However, if you try those guitar fx units and decide you need one, this is a good promo since normal AD prices on those are close to $80 each.  I just demoed the Acoustic Feedback plugin and liked what I heard -- realistic guitar amp feedback when playing Kontakt Rock Guitar.  As a bonus, this plugin includes a limited version of the White Amp (Marshall stack) from the Vintage Amp Room, which doesn't sound half bad.  Nice deal!
 
Cheers,
Eddie

I checked my receipts, purchased Sept. 2011 at AudioDeluxe for $109.00.

You may want to hold off until there's a better price-point for it.
