Unfortunately the Scheps Omni Channel is still $149.
It is ok but not up there with the best channels out there, imho.
UAD are doing much better stuff, so are a Slate and Brainworx.

UAD don't do subscriptions but you do need their DSP hardware- their plugins are on another level, especially the Unison preamps.

Slate Digital seems to be geared towards the subscription model. With individual plugins costing around $200 to buy them outright. Whereas the yearly subscription for access to ALL plugins (paid in one payment) = $180 or $25 per month with a "pause any-time" feature.
Brainworx also seems to be geared towards the subscription model. Plugins looks like they need to be purchased via its sister company Plugin-Alliance. Prices vary from free-$200 to purchase outright. The other options is to choose any 10 Plugins and pay $29 per month for 29 months = $841. So after almost 2 and a half years you finally own all 10 of them and don't need to pay anymore.
I also picked up the Waves F6 Dynamic Eq the other day for $29 dollars and it is superb.. incredible value at that price.
Brainworx have only just started doing their pick n mix subscription.
They regularly discounted the hell out of their plugins, I've paid about £50 per plug-in for most of them.

@equalsql It looks like that EQ is still at the $29 price, which seems to be the lowest price the Waves plugins sell for individually.

My favourite bit about it is you can insert another Waves plugin in it. I didn't actually read that about it to begin with, otherwise I'd have probably got it first time around.
Generally I stick Q2 in the insert, and use that to surgically reduce any static resonance(s) going on in the sound. Then use the rest of the plugin to shape the sound, so the Omni's EQ can be used for the broader shaping without getting distracted by a ringing frequency.
In terms of workflow that's preferable to Slate's VMR for me for a bunch of things. I do actually think the Slate Blue 76 and Distressor comps sound nicer but the EQ modules can be restrictive meaning you sometimes need to combine multiple. And if you want to trim in the plugin that takes up the same amount of screen space as any other module. In general I only use VMR for compression these days and use a different EQ plugin separately.
I don't always use channel strip plugins as sometimes I prefer being able to see if certain plugs are on or off from eyeballing my DAW's mixer. But for some set and forget kind of sounds a channel strip can be a quick way of getting the sound and I think the Omni plug is worth a look for that scenario, especially if you have a decent amount of other Waves plugs that can go in the insert.

The $49 is worth it just for the "pre" section on this plugin. I've been using the saturation, hi & low passes and the "thump" buttons and they are quick and easy for luddites like me that want to move quickly.
Noticed today that there is a Q10 available, does it pretty much do the same thing as the F6? https://www.waves.com/plugins/q10-equalizer
