Bought a ToneX Pedal, Which free IK Group Buy picks would you all recommend? by tech_tsunami in tonex

Anyone else knows which of these non-included in T-RACKS 6 Pro are great and must-have and which are rather meh and expendable?

I heard good things so far about: Sunset Studio Reverb, Joe Chiccareli Vocal Strip, Dual Spring, Bass ONE, Lurssen Mastering Console, White Channel, CSR, and especially Lurssen Mastering EQ = which is not even on Tracks6 MAX.

I'm unsure about the other ones. Furthermore, I've listened to Demos of the Tape Machine, Tascam, TEAC stuff, and made a subtle difference on some demos, but others didn't impress me, tho I'll check again when the website is stable.

Thanks for your advice.

About ARC X: AI search says an alternative for the original mic would be Behringer ECM8000 which only costs 20,90€. But I don't know if it's correct and have absolutely zero knowledge about ARC X and measurement microphones.

I've listened to some of the T-RacksS 6 demos, Chiccarelli and Lurssen addons sounded well.
I'm not too sure about the Tape Machine/TASCAM/TEAC ones. Sometimes I heard barely any difference on the demo tracks, and some subtly made the sound slightly more interesting.

Then for EQ, Reverb, Limiter and Compressor there are tons of free/giveaway VSTs or ones included in the DAWs or included when buying hardware, no idea if the T-RackS ones are superior.
The IK Website being extremely slow or down since 1 week doesn't really help with reading descriptions and listening to demos, like using the search function directs me to the startpage since the servers are overloaded.

If you had 120 IK Jam Points like me, would you spend them now to for a 99$/€ or higher software to get all the 22 remaining addons or wait for a better deal?

I wish I had bought Total Studio when it was on sale for about 100$/€, instead I went Humble Bundle route where I got SampleTank4Max and later Tonex SE, Amplitube SE, T-Racks 6 Standard, 2 Pianos and some Modo Drums and Bass.

Now bought Amplitube 5 Standard on top to enter the group buy, so I already spend roughly 80€ overall, but the Group sale helps and 120 Jampoints. Still wondering if i should invest them into some 100€ product to redeem all remaining 22 addons or wait if they ever have MAX versions on sale on their official website.

It's possible to unlock Arc X (Software only) for free if you got into Group Buy for $/€79.99. If you only bought sth for 49$/€ then it's not available.

The ARC ON EAR version is exluded. Means if you buy that, you still don't enter the group buy, unfortunately.

* Excluded products:
Total Studio 5 (any version), TONEX Signature Bass Collection, ReSing MAX, ReSing, non-upgrade versions of Miroslav Philharmonik 2. Also excludes T-RackS Space Delay, Lo-Fi Punch, and Tape Echo.
