@guitarfishbay have you had a chance to mess around with it yet?

Yeah. It takes a little more CPU than the Waves one but it does some pretty awesome stuff and it’s still reasonable on CPU.

Using a stereo instance you can run both sides the same or run different channels which will give a slightly wider sound.

I found on busses that would be mono information for me (eg bass bus) I prefer to run both sides the same, just because I wouldn’t want uneven low end boosts/cuts happening there. But sticking it on a guitarist a vocal bus can get some great results especially when you’re adding top end.

You can randomise all channels on all instances from within another plugin. So if you have a lot of instances you can try different channels quickly across the whole mix.

The saturation is quite good too. Switchable EQ revisions is another nice touch.

Its definitely worth a demo. I still like the Waves one but the BX console is more versatile.

I bought it.

Great thread, was kind of hoping we'd get something like this...subscribed! :-)

EDIT: Holding out to hear news of $49 sale on Echoboy at some point...it's at $99 at the moment.

$49 Echoboy is pretty rare. You might want to join KVR and pop this guy a PM...

I'm a-waitin' for the Liquidsonics sale. $20 off Seventh Heaven would do me nicely.

I paid $249 down from $349 for Echoboy the day it was released, if that makes you feel any better.

I'm in no rush, was $49 a couple of months ago. Thanks for the link, how would that work, would he be able to transfer it directly to my Soundtoys account?

This seems to have had good reviews and for £1 it's not much of a punt:): https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/10-Delay/4384-STA-Delay

The best thing to do with Sound Toys is buy their super cheap deals, pick up the free plugs, and upgrade to the full bundle on Black Friday. The more plugs you have the cheaper the upgrade, even the free ones count IIRC

Sounds really good

Heartfeltdawn

It is. I sold my Exponential and Valhalla reverbs for SH Pro. Actually was more than I need as I use Reverberate for more experimental reverb sounds, so a combo of that and the smaller Seventh Heaven is enough for me. Sale time will be soon...

Aye. So it's worth picking up Echoboy Jr now and then waiting for Black Friday. 

@Jonathanthomas83 yep. If you PM him, say you want it, pay $50 via Paypal (go normal for safety), then it will be yours. As iLok is involved, it'll be a case of transferring the licence from his iLok account to yours, and that will trigger a licence change within the Soundtoys camps accordingly. 

I've bought and sold loads on KVR. If you act sensible with payments, you'll be fine. I bought Ableton Live 9 there last week for a shade over £100. Chap was brilliant, said he'd give me his Ableton account so it'd be a quick change rather than a transfer process. Asked me for a suitable email to change the account to, set it up with a temp password, I logged it and changed the password and took over the account, paid him after I'd done it. Can't go wrong with that.

Oh my. This intrigues me greatly.

That Waves Abbey Road Chambers might be interesting - I think the Plate is the best vst plate reverb I've used. Feels like sending signal to a real sheet of metal.

Haven’t tried it but I like their Spark plugin, the 800 is cool. I don’t own it but I’d be interested in buying it next time it is on sale
