the UI is tricky to master, but it's a great plugin. 

Wow - that's an impressive delay tool. 

I'm going to ponder about getting this. 

I don't see how I  could use one one-thousandth of its features, but it is very intriguing.

Now's your chance to own the definitive delay plug.  Don't hesitate.  All of FF's stuff is absolute top shelf. 

How long does the sale last?

until May 1, 2013

This is kinda historic. AFAIK, FF has never held a sale on an individual product before, just bundles. 

And the 50% is in addition to whatever discounts you already qualify for as a return customer. For me, that puts Timeless 2 at $56. Not bad for what has to be the ultimate delay plug. I may have to empty my coin jar... 
 
I don't know if the 10% referral discount still applies, but if anyone's considering this who hasn't bought FF stuff before, be sure to let somebody here refer you. You get a 10% discount and the referrer gets a $13 store credit.

[Correction]
The 50% replaces - rather than adds to - whatever discounts you already qualify for as a return customer.

Yep, and I suppose we can hope that it's the start of a new marketing strategy.  Could it be that Timeless 3 is in the pipeline?  On the other hand, $140 is kind of steep for a delay in the first place.  I can see how they can charge that approximate amount for Pro Q, for example, but I doubt they've sold many delays at the list price.
 
Timeless 2 is a very flexible piece of gear, but its capabilities are being overshadowed by some new competitors, FXpansion's Bloom being the latest.  So, maybe that's the real reason for the sale.  I'll hope that other FF plugs will come up for the 50% off treatment, but I'm not really expecting such.

Hi Dmbaer
Have you tried FXExpansions Bloom yet?

Steep for me, too. 

But consider that the popular SoundToys' Echo Boy has long been considered the "ultimate delay" and it sells for even more AND requires a dongle. 

I demoed Timeless 2 and didn't buy it, not just because of the price but mainly because it seemed overly complicated. I'm more drawn to delays such as Audio Damage's Ricochet, which has a plain 'n simple interface and costs $49. But then I'm not much into sound-mangling. 

I also looked at FXpansion's Bloom when it came out. Same deal, I think, as Timeless 2: very flexible, great for serious mangling, but too complicated when all you want is a simple echo. 

You know what would be great? I'll tell you what would be great: somebody at Cakewalk would rescue the Sonitus Delay from 1999, fix the tempo-sync bugs, make a mono version and add modulation. I'd give 'em fifty bucks for that.
