Piet’s recent thread about Phil's Cascade having been on sale for $9.99 got me thinking that it might be a good idea to start a “Cheap Bargains” thread in which we post about really low-priced sales that catch our interest.

While the Phil's Cascade sale is over (for now), there are two bargains I’m aware of at the moment that might be of use to people here:

1) SSL's X-ValveComp plug-in is just $9.99 (with the code XVAL9EX9) until August 24.

2) A bundle of all 13 of Pettinhouse’s libraries is selling for $79 (including the new AcousticGuitar 3.0). The sale ends on August 27.

As for the second one, $79 isn’t exactly cheap … unless you consider that it’s for 13 libraries. In that case, I think it belongs in this thread.

In short, this isn’t a normal “someone’s having a sale” thread. If the price is notably lower than a normal sale, and you think it’s a worthwhile product, please let us know here.

Best,

Geoff

The fan base of the Neold plugins is simply too large and also includes a number of people whose opinion I value, to ignore sharing the joyful tiding that Plugin Alliance have a Neold Flash Sale on that has each Neold plugin priced at only $19, and the bundle of all Neold plug-ins for just $69.

Currently 3 euros for the everything bundle .. was supposed to be 24hrs only and started yesterday so might need to be quick! I've not used them myself but have had them recommended to me several times so for that price it's beyond a no-brainer.

I think I did once. Can't remember much of it, I must say. Nothing either memorably bad or good, in other words. Had that snare plugin of theirs installed as well for a while. But it too got removed.

So, these Purafieds are certainly not bad, and for the current price, you might as well take your chances with them, I suppose, but they're also the sort of plugins which are among the first to go, when the day comes when you decide to clean out — or purafy, if you like — your plug-in folder. At least, that's how it was with me.

Looks like this has ended now .. or at least it has a "sold out" label on the website ..

I've just been playing with Panda rooms and think it could be very useful in that UAD Sound City Studios way ...
