BBE arrived, installed and authorized. That was fast. I think maybe they have a distribution center not far from me. So far, it's cool, very nice interface even by Nomad standards. I guess the sound is what one should expect: somewhere between snake oil and EQ/dynamic EQ/phase correlation/blah, blah, blah. Oh, and it is an actual replicated CD (I know, I used to make them, literally), an empty sleeve with an S/N sticker (I guess maybe the CD was in the sleeve at one point), another sticker with the same number, and air, all in a fancy shrink-wrapped box. Deal complete.

Mine is scheduled to be here tomorrow.

Dear UAD User -

We know that you get a lot of email, and we'd like to say "thanks" for being on our promotional email list. So here's a link to download your free Pultec Pro EQ
plug-in.

The Pultec Pro EQ adds the Pultec MEQ-5 Midrange Equalizer module to the Pultec EQP-1A, combining two of the most sought-after hardware EQs into a single plug-in. The warmth and tone this plug-in delivers is incredible, especially on vocals and guitars.

To get your free Pultec Pro EQ plug-in, visit UA's Online Store
, add the plug-in to your shopping cart and apply the coupon code FREEPULTEC during checkout. Just be sure to stop in soon — your coupon expires in 30 days.

FYI I have no UAD cards at all or ever have. I just attempted to add it to my cart for the heck of it and I am stopped with a popup alert box stating: "Pultec Pro EQ Plug-In requires a UAD-2 DSP Accelerator Card."

so it will not allow one to checkout with this EQ unless they have a UAD card registered under that account.

Hey, VitaminD -- That was kinda cool that you tested the edges of their purchasing system that way.

I just now got a chance to do the 'purchase' and download. I have a couple of old UAD-1 cards, didn't bother with the trade-up deal.

Went through fine; this is one of their older products, so it works on my cards, but I did have to log in and access my account in order to do the deal. UAD seems to be doing their best to exterminate references to the UAD-1, so I can see why they'd only mention the UAD-2 if you come at it cold.

^ Just to complete the tests, you can't order it if you already have it too

There doesn't seem to be much on offer for those who already own it. Just a July coupon (which everyone probably got).

It's a very nice EQ though and it's the one I've used most out of the UAD lot.

I've stuck with UAD-1 (since I still use Nigel) and can only see me going to UAD-2 via an Apollo. I wrote to P. Jnr. a while ago about it and UAD-1 is definitely done. Not a problem though as it is solid.

Got mine today... Only tried it on master bus but it does a pretty nice job. Seems like it is some sort of bass extender/treble exicter with a limiter perhaps on it. Very simple dials.. 3 of them on the whole gui to be exact.

Not a big fan of the high end exciter.. but the bass extender adds a nice thump to my ears. good deal for ~14 dollars all.

Btw it is STILL on sale over at MF if anyone is still interested in the BBE D82.

I'm half tempted to order 3 or 4 and sell them at a tidy profit to our European friends.

I was going to add it to my account just in case one day I did decide to get a UAD card.. I'd have another EQ to play with.. but no dice.

Apparently they thought of me when they designed their purchasing system.

MF asked for $42 shipping costs for a delivery to Germany - that was too much money for me and I stopped the check-out.

Does anyone know how I can get the BBE D82 for the $9.99? I think this is just a CD, so why they demand such high shipping costs?

Because they're lying that it's a "shipping" price. It wouldn't cost them so much to ship it abroad even if they wanted it to.

On another note, I keep getting spam from Musician's Friend after "unsubscribing" from a mailing list I never subscribed to. I never even registered as a user, only entered my email as a "guest" and didn't complete the order. If this continues after the *10 days* they state they need to "process your request" of "unsubscribing" (again, it's unsolicited: spam), I'll do something about it.

The update to Komplete from older versions is 99 euro. Is that the final price or is VAT added on top of it for European customers?

standalone · Post by **standalone** » Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:32 pm

NI uses to include VAT in their advertised prices, so I guess that's the final price.
