Sorry, didn't try that.  Hopefully, they are just making some updates or something. Hope something bad didn't happen.

When I read that, it made me realize how petty my little checkout frustration was. Hopefully, nothing bad did happen with Bernie's condition.
 
I just tried again and the order for the bundle succeeded, so it probably was just some site maintenance or something minor. Cool!
 
It was nostalgic watching YouTube video demos of the Echoplex and Echorec emulations in the echo plug. They sound like I remember them from the 60's and don't have the common problem with the tape breaking.
 
EDIT: BTW, Nick at Don't Crack responded to my ticket and said that they ran out of serial numbers and had to contact Nomad Factory to get more. That's the reason no one could buy them for a while.

I'm anxious to play with ECHO - My EP3 is my favorite guitar FX unit and I've never heard any reproduction come even close. Fortunately, I have a good friend that is a tech and really knows how to maintain these machines! I once even had the privilege of speaking to Mike Battle (the creator of the Echoplex) shortly before he passed. I got to tell him he had an official fan club here in Omaha - as I have a number of friends that all use them. :)

 I would love to hear more about the Magnetic and echoes plugins....I believe you have all talked me into getting Cosmos already. This is a nice thing for Dontcrack to do.



I haven't used much of Echoes, but you really have to hear what Magnetic II does on drums......it's my goto and definitely falls into the "this doesn't suck anymore" plug. You can use it practically on all instruments, but it truly shines on drums.

Me too. It is a really cool effect and, in the 60's, it seemed amazing. Tried to splice a broken tape on one (I was only about 13yrs old) but the splice was audible. Very cool that you were able to talk with the creator!

I've got a box of blank 8 track tapes, a razor blade, tape splicing tape, a head demagnetizer, a splicing block, and cleaning solution. Talk about retro! And the ECHOES plug-in doesn't require any of that - or a dedicated tech! :)

It's interesting because if they were truly trying to raise money for Bernie it would be a bit crass to set an arbitrary...and undisclosed...cutoff point.

not really , we hear about the cost of hospital care there..  and if you bothered to read the notice on the website, it does state till the 31st of december

DontCrack post at KVR stated:
 
Thank you so much for your kindness in giving support to Bernie ! We've already collected close to $10 000 ready to be sent to Bernie's wife but we'll certainly need much more to cover the hospital's fees :-/
Kind Regards - Peter

Eric,
 
Hope you see this.  I have all the Nomad stuff but I'd like to contribute to the cause.  Can I buy the $49 bundle and pass the activation rights on to someone else?
