Black Friday Cometh

It's that time of year again, and folks have started emailing me deals for black Friday.

Please list any upcoming deals you think the community should know about, and I will put them on an updated version of this page: http://equipboard.com/posts/black-friday

GEAR:
  • EarthQuaker Devices Westwood
  • Fender '57 Custom Champ
  • Fender American Original '50s Telecaster

Universal Audio is doing their thing this year again-

buy any Apollo interface, get a free mix satelight (plus a bunch of plugins)

for those who aren't sure what that means-

the UA plugins are often memory hogs so they have DSP processing offloading options in their hardware BUT-

The DSP in the Apollo interfaces ONLY are used when TRACKING & printing audio in thru those plugins in real time.

The mix satelight DSP is for MIXING only.

If UAD is your bag then this is the time of year to get in.
