I have UAD's Pultecs and Manley Massive Passive and probably a few others i've forgotten about.
Plugin Alliance is having a $29.99 sale. The regular price is listed as $299.
I do a very natural style of recording in the Americana/Folk-Rock styles.
Should I bother with it?
( I know it's cheap, but if I really don't need it I'd rather put that toward something practical, like an SM57).

I only just noticed it Ragan, so I haven't demoed it yet. There's a cut-off to the sale in 15 minutes..
Welcome to the forum Marlem. I was mainly interested in hearing from people who have used it. I probably have 200 or more plug-ins. Of 100 + Waves plugs, I only use 2 now on rare occasions. So it's not about the money, it's about not wasting it.
I have a dozen things I'd like to buy, so even $30 if put toward something like a better music stand or an SM57 could be more useful and the money better spent. But if the Bettermaker is special and worth the $299 standard price, then sure, $29.99 is a bargain.

Oh well, I went to buy it at 11:58, but by the time I went to check the discount code, it was 12:00 and the code had expired, ha!
I'll try demoing it, and if I like it, I'll buy it the next time it's on sale. I rarely demo anything though, except UAD's plugs. I've had terrible issues when a demo's time is up crashing my system and taking hours and occasionally days to fix it, so once bitten, twice shy.
