McDSP is offering a new bundle for a limited time only (November and December) – the Winter Special bundle. The Winter Special HD bundle is sold for $1695 and the native bundle for $895. It includes Analog Channel, Chrome Tone, CompressorBank, DE555, FilterBank, ML4000 and Revolver. They’ve also extended their Classic Pack special as well as decided to lower the price on the Project Studio bundle.

I’m a fan of Analog Channel and ML4000 in particular. The DE555 has become my most used de-esser, more because of ease of use and it’s resource-friendly nature than sound qualities perhaps, but I think it sounds good as well. I’ve never really used Chrome Tone as a guitar amp modeler, but it’s actually my current chorus and flanger unit. It’s possible I could do better in that field, haven’t really looked around. FilterBank and CompressorBank are classics, and I think they’re still capable of good stuff. Technology has of course improved and neither of them are go-to plug-ins for me, but I could definitely live with them as only EQ and compressor.
