Many of the Melda plugins are now on the www.jrrshop.com and many are $39 dollars.
 
In fact most seem to be half price, I know they have been doing half of through out the month on their website for a plugin a day but here they are all available.
 
I have a few and really like them and this is some good prices!
 

Thanks for the heads up on this, I really liked the Dynamic EQ when I tried the demo, just bought it!

MMultibandDistortion for $25! Add MMultibandSaturator for $39 and you've got the poor man's Saturn.

+1 on the MMultibandSaturator.  I decided to pass on Saturn when I found I could get similar results from the Melda plug -- no, the Melda doesn't have the modulation stuff, but otherwise it's fairly close.  The control you get over each type of harmonic is great!  Rolling your own amp sim is a lot of fun, too.
 
Other Melda plugs I use a lot include the AutoAlign, the DynamicEQ, and the Dynamics.  Good stuff.
Cheers,
Eddie
 

I don't have MMultibandDistortion, but I've read the user manual and it does appear to have some modulation capabilities. Not nearly as extensive as Saturn's, but then distortion really only lends itself to certain types of modulation. The only modulation I use with Saturn is the envelope generator, and MMultibandDistortion does offer an envelope generator/follower that can be triggered by either MIDI or signal threshold.

I just finished a comparison of:
 
Pro MB - LOVE the interface! Very clean and usable.
MDynamicEQ - Very nice...very clean - Analyzer functions are nice..
MAutoDynamicEQ - Even nicer with the "analyze"  and recommend function and results...and with the Analyzer, Spectrogram, etc...I think it does just a bit more then Pro MB and is just as clean.

I have to say...I prefer MAuto over Pro MB.
I like the Pro MB's interface better and some of the features better, but sound
wise I prefer the Melda....it seems to add more "Mojo" sauce...to my ears...
And the fact that, even at regular price it's about half of what Pro MB is...

I will probably have to pick it up before the sale is over...
I can get it for less then $60...
(I can get Pro MB right now for $95...which is a great buy too)

Now to find the nearest bank to rob...

The one major difference is MAuto doesn't have the "Band" Solo option,
which is nice to have...but I'm not sure it's worth the $100 difference...IJS...

I'm just wrapping up a lengthy review of MDynamicEQ for the May edition of SoundBytes magazine. I wanted to go beyond what's in the manual, which necessitated diving very deep into the plugin, reading everything I could find, conversations with the developer and most of all, hours of experimentation.
 
I'll give you the short summary of my weeks of research: this plugin is deep. Deep, powerful and versatile. 
 
I don't have enough hours with Pro-MB yet to declare either it or MDynamicEQ the winner, but I can say that just in terms of raw capabilities they are pretty evenly matched. It really comes down to your UI preferences. Pro-MB is a little more accessible. It's easy to figure out pretty quickly and that, of course, is FabFilter's forte: elegant, ergonomic UIs.
 
MDynamicEQ takes a little more effort, requires cracking the manual. But once you "get" the UI it's quite fast to get good results with.

Bit, this indeed was "my experience" with MAuto and Pro MB.  It's not quite as easy and pretty as Pro MB, but it's a MONSTER...that I can say.  I hope that it can get the Band Solo feature that Pro MB has in an upcoming version...

I really do like the Interface and some of the features of Pro MB better...but dollar for dollar, to me, I think MAuto is a winner at $100 less (at retail) then Pro MB.

EDIT:  Forgot to mention, one advantage to MAuto over Pro MB is 7 bands as opposed to 6 on Pro MB.

It's got band solo already. They call it "auto-listen".
