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.
As of right now, Audio Deluxe countdown timer says 9 hours.

The coupon code on UAD site says it expires 10/3 at 11:59 PST but on the home page it says through 10/2. I'm hoping it's 10/3. I missed out on this until today and am waiting on my thank you code after purchasing the Fairchild.

We got wiggle room!

Yes. Universal Audio is in Scotts Valley, California, which is PDT. So it's 4:00pm there right now. If the sale ends at midnight California time, there should be 8 hours left, though I wouldn't cut it that close. Audio Deluxe is giving it 7½ hours more, so I assume their prices go back to full at 11:30 PDT.

Waited enough, less than 2 hours left now. As a thanks to UA for the amazing "$14" prices, I just bought Lexicon 224 from PB for $39. The thanks coupon I have at UA will surely be useful for future purchases.

The sale is still going on UA website. I'm just hoping I get a thank you coupon today so I can pick up the 176.

the reviews/comments are glowing. What ya think ?

with two personal coupons + another $50 weekday thing, that would start to look like a nice present to oneself, haha.
"Plugin has turned Drug now"....and the business knows it.

It’s for shaping the sound, not for increasing loudness. I found it a bit disappointing for this reason.

It's not a gear :) It's SAS or PAS.

Well the sale ended but now Audio Deluxe is having a 15th Anniversary sale and UAD are included with the tape echo and Hammond at the UADTUESDAY price. Neither of those were in the UAD sale, were they?

I swear, this won't stop until we own everything :dog: :lol:

Thank you!!! I was waiting for the sale of tape echo and chorus.
I think I can get IK Tape 80 if I buy it now?
It's a good deal because I remember IK 80's sound so good

I like Valhalla Delay and the Softube tape delay better than the UAD one. Also, Korneff's Echoleffe kicks both their asses when it comes to tape (to me) - but it's a different sound.

The Audiority Chorus Ensembler is also better than UAD.

Just because something is UAD doesn't mean it's the best (but, from the native plugins so far, it does mean it'll at least be good).
