I suffered from sonitus for years. Through diet, exercise, meditation, powerful antibiotics, laser and ultrasound treatments, I can finally say I'm cured.

If you need these types of plugins grab them. $19 is a total steal. They are very high quality.

The toneboosters look nice. I'm just having a little trouble with Reaper plugs for the way they look and feel.
I also enjoy good GUI beside performance.
I'm not a producer and I can't justify an expensive effects suite for the fact that I'm not a pro capable to use them at their best.

I would advise you to invest in ToneBoosters rather than SonitusFX plugin for the simple fact TB plugins are active, I just saw an update released couple of days back whereas Sonitus is a dead product IMHO.

These are DX only.

Really? The bundled ones are DX? Weird.

I have them in Sonar and I really like them. I use them from time to time. For $200 though? wow I didn't realize they were that much. Seriously cats think I am crazy but grab Amplitube 3 for $99 right now and run with those fx. That's what I do turn off the cabinets and the amps and have at it. If you have access to a guitar rig upgrade thats a good idea too. For $50 those are some pretty good fx too. They aren't just for guitar players.

They can. Caveat : You have to use the xlutop DX->VST wrapper to do it.

I'm glad you cleared that up. I hear XILS Lab were working on a cream.

I would say that's almost gauaranteed. When Cakewalk puts something that hasn't been updated for a while on sale it's usually because they're either discontinuing it completely or absorbing it into Sonar's Producer edition as an added "feature." And the Sonitus suite has been included in Sonar Producer for quite a while now so...

I have them, and find them to be somewhere between good and very good. But at this point there are so many free and low priced alternatives (those Tonebooters plugins really are worth it if you want a "suite") that I'd say even at $20 it's not worth it unless you have some specific reason that you really want them.

Thank you sir. That'll be a pass from me then. Even in S X1 Prod I don't even use them that much.

It's more a converter of sorts than a chainer though (i.e. you have to convert them once and what you get is a .dll that looks and feels and behaves just like a normal VST plugin (what kind of black coding magic is going on there I have no idea though))
