Plus, just the EQP-1A plugin from Black Rooster is $39. It's another $29 for their MEQ-5 plugin.
You can get the whole collection of 3 Pultec plugins from UAD for $39 right now.

So, $29 more for "not worse" and no VST3...?

$39 is that the current price? I only read an offer from Plugin Boutique (?) but I don't remember the price.
Yes, without question, if you are on the fence about Pultec emulations, UAD is certainly an option. As I said, the plugins are excellent.

Any suggestions? I do have Arturia LX-24 and Waves equivalent of the two compressors, but for $14 I'd definitely buy a UA one.
That's a tough one, because you know the UA compressors are going to be way better than Waves' versions. But the Arturia 224 doesn't include the chorus program, while UAD does. Though those plugins will be pretty comparable otherwise.

Thanks, appreciate the suggestions. Since it would be a tough choice, I think getting Lexicon 224 first among them would be a better option as I have bought synths, compressors, EQs, channel strips, etc. from UAD but there's no reverb in my UAD collection yet.

Loving the Electra 88 as well, but I am hoping I will be able to get it for lesser in the coming weeks. Could get it for $75 with the coupons, but I'd like it at $50 or less.

I'm waiting to see if it'll reset one last time for me after purchasing yesterday, but won't sweat it if not. November and December are right around the corner and always big sales months for UA, so the deals will undoubtedly be back the same or possibly better. UA seems to be on a regular cadence of sales, so if you miss something it won't be too long before you can get it at that price again.

You are right, sl1200mk2. Just need to be patient.* Let's see what they have got for sales in October, and possibly new native plugins.

EDIT: Pretty sure the $14 price/plugin would be the lowest though.

( i had to reach out to support to get them btw. )
Did UA support give you Thank You coupons even for purchases you made with Thank You coupons?

can´t tell. Not yet received anything.
( for the first two purchases was it the support who had to put my coupons manually into my account /something ´s not fluffy there )

UAD Manley Tube Preamp? But for low/lowmid warmth I'd say Pultec EQ.
The Manley preamp comes in the Manley vox box. And the Vox Box is a really great plug in for preamp and tone. Really not limited to just vocals.

So... skip the preamp and get the vox box.

You mean the same preamp model is in the VOXBOX channel strip, right?
You don't get the Manley Tube Preamp plugin, too, when you buy the VOXBOX, do you?

LoveEnigma18 · Post by **LoveEnigma18** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 3:07 am

Yes, I think it's exactly the same preamp. And no, you don't get the Preamp plugin when you buy the full channel strip plugin.

Best to avoid the preamp only plugin and get the channel strip plugin if you can.

The UADTUESDAY coupon isn't reset for the fourth time as of now. Guess it's 2nd October everywhere in the US already. Hope they will reset it manually once they wake up and log in. Sorry, but itching to get one more.

If you run out of UADTUESDAY coupons, you can always grab them for $39 at audiodeluxe.

https://www.audiodeluxe.com/brand/unive ... rice%20asc

You just won't get any $25 UAD Thank You coupons.

LoveEnigma18 · Post by **LoveEnigma18** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 10:33 am

Yes, thanks, I do know that. I was just hoping for one final round of coupon reset for the last day of sale, which looks unlikely now. I will probably pick up the Lexicon 224 at the end of the day at AD or PB.

jamcat · Post by **jamcat** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 10:58 am

I think there will be one more UADTUESDAY coupon. They seem to open another up every 2 days: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday …Monday(?)

LoveEnigma18 · Post by **LoveEnigma18** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 11:17 am

Yeah, that's what I was hoping for. Guess it's still not too late? I will wait until I go to sleep tonight.

Still no 4th UADTUESDAY coupon.

6 hours left according to this timer

I'm going to hold out til' the very end to see if they unlock one more on the UAD site, and if not then consider jumping on a $39 one from a retailer.

UAD still worth it?
