I had no plan to get Dune 3 but then the price seems right, so why not?
Is it multi-touch capable? If yes I will get it.

I got a AudioPluginDeals loyalty coupon that'll further reduce Lunacy Audio Cube to $60.
Pm if interested.

Got one of those as well.

Cube for $60 at APD: LOYAL39-EAMVZSX3

They are running this "Buy 2 Get 2 Free" promo and since it's on you can't use your voucher.
Quoting from the promo email:

Get 4 plugins from a selection of more than 75+ top hits from the "BUY 2 GET 2 FREE" category and add them to your cart. Only 2 plugins will be charged at checkout – you get 2 plugins for free! Dynamic discounts and loyalty vouchers cannot be applied during this period.

Gear4Music is about as close as the UK gets to Sweetwater as far as I can tell.

oh, ok. I tried it without using the "BUY 2 GET 2 FREE" (why must they always use caps?). thanks for the info!

^^^strange thing with the quotes which I´m not certain how to untangle.

I lived in York for ages and went to the Gear4Music sales warehouse once. It’s a pretty big warehouse and I enjoyed not being hassled at all by sales staff while I tried out a bunch of guitars waiting for the MIDI controller I’d ordered online to be fetched from their storage place. I don’t know if the situation has changed, but it was just one warehouse and I thought Sweetwater was a chain?

Yeah I thought it was just a shop like KMR and so on, but it’s listed on the stock exchange and turns over £148m a year!

Going by the number of G4M guitars I see on my local FB market page, I assume they're very popular. Especialy with beginners I guess, good SEO.

And it seems I got Sweetwater confused with Guitar Center.

[VitaminD]

Sweetwater HQ is huge but mostly because the warehouse and the retail store is all-in-one on site. Their biggest notable is their online and phone sales though. They turned over 1.5 billion dollars in revenue last year.

Guitar Center (unrelated chain) shops generally are smaller but still nicely sized with individual 'rooms' for guitars, drums, keyboards, pianos, recording, and dj equipment.

Musicians Friend is an online-only retailer owned by Guitar Center folks. Which is kind of odd because Guitar Center has an online sales presence too. The combined company has over 2 billion dollars in revenue a year.
