PA has a 48h sale.
With the voucher you can get the mc77 for 9 euros.
You need to put another 5$ plugin in the cart since the minimum spent for the voucher is around 32-33$.
Very low cpu and very high quality sound.

I just can't get one more bx_tuner...

I already have 26 licenses...

 

What do you mean cant? I could, lol.

 

What voucher? The only email I've received is one where they say that they have a 48h sale. No voucher included.

 

Monthly - I think.

 

Ahh, okay! I have never paid for any of their plug-ins so I don't receive them. All of the PA plug-ins I have are from their giveaways and "free" vouchers

 

I wonder how much you have to spend to receive a $25 monthly voucher.

 

I wonder as well. You must probably spend at least 50$ in a year to get it.

I do have to say this 1176 acts and sounds like an 1176 should. No pumping like some other plugins, no mud or other nasty frequencies added.

 

No thanks. Dongle sucks.

 

There is no dongle . There great plugins tbh and good developer. There office in Germany got flooded really bad and damaged lots of equipment .
I’ve brought loads of plugs on the deals there’s not many left for me to buy
Voucher wise 25 you have to spend 50 , 50 you have to spend 75 , 75 you have to spend 99 . I get a monty voucher 75 which is brilliant it helps towards extra plugins or higher priced one. Also you get further discount for owning other plugs

 

50 on a 25v , 75 on a 50v , 99 on a 75v

 

No dongle needed . You only need a usb stick if you wish to have license on there . I personally have my license on a usb because I have two macs it saves using two different licenses I only need the one on usb . And if usb breaks I just deactivate it from my account . But again you don’t have to do it that way you can just license you computer direct , you don’t even have to use the plugin manager once you’ve licensed you’re first plugin you can select that device in you’re pa account and download a new license for new plugins you buy . Quite simple process

 

I did pick up the purple audio mc77 yesterday , it wasn’t 9 euros it was $29 and after vat $36 . Was still worth it imo. I spent the day testing it against my klark teknik kt76 hardware clone and I could match my hardware pretty much with the software . The only difference I noticed was the software could be pushed harder with the noise floor compared to the hardware but that’s only down to the tubes inside and I intend to upgrade those once I have a second unit so I can get matching tubes for both and have a stereo link mode done to both units . The purple audio mc77 is a great sounding fet compressor

 

76kt has no tubes, its a fet, solid state compressor.
Yes, purple sounds and behaves like hardware, with a tad less depth that hardware gives you.
The most important are the attack and release here are right, compared to most plugins that are wrong or have a narrow field of action.

 

Yes agreed I head my head in the clouds early here . I was also thinking about the klark teknik eqp pultec clones that’s the one with the tubes . That’s my next order and was looking at mods this morning and got confused between the two units .

 

Got purple77, opto xla3 and stereomaker for $30 with the 50 voucher lol

 

Eqp kt is a very fine equalizer. Here the difference between plugins and hardware is bigger than with the compressors.
Stock tubes sound good. I prefer the sound of klark teknik pultec over the warm audio pultec.

 

Great deal. XLA3 can do a lot of things, from gentle to very nasty, saturated in your face compression.

 

The klark get a lot of bad feedback but I’ve not had any issues with mine and I never used a real 1176 or pultec so wouldn’t know the difference . But I like working with my kt76 on vocals , drum hits . I still want to order another to have the stereo link done and I believe they change components to burr brown chips and the outputs to give a higher noise floor .

 

The noise floor on my 76kt is very low.
I have to say its built like an expensive unit, the knobs also feel expensive.
95% of the reviews on 76kt and eqpkt are actually very good. I have only seen two video reviews where there was a lot of bs told about these two units.
Vintage ua 1176 has a bit more mojo but the 76kt sounds as good as any modern revision.
Its a clean sounding unit, but i can drive mine hard with 4 buttons in with lots of saturation going on, this is one thing where it does its thing better than plugins, driving it hard.
I think some people dont take the time to calibrate it properly and are not versatile with gain staging either, so they have noise or other problems.
