Beats me!
The idea is to post new/latest acquisitions
(or anything, really... I'm relatively new to the platform, so I like to hear peoples takes on various plugs)

Sound City Studios is by far the best this decade on any platform.

Say I had a coupon, and say I was doing the 2/99, and already had one plugin locked in. Do you think Sound City is a good choice for the second?

It's full of character and vastly different from any other plugin I've used. It's still hard for me to tame, but when it hits, it's unreal. It's easily the most fun I've ever had with a "reverb" plugin.
It also gives me studio envy like whoa.

It's not "new" necessarily, but it's become my "go-to" for amp sims......
Home - Blackstar Plugins
I know, I know, I'm a ho' when it comes to amp sims, but really, this thing is 3d. Very versatile. I think it's the cabs more than anything else. Other than that, I have Spark so until they come up with something new or ported, got nothing. Speaking of Cdnalsi, I am "looking" into the SSL sub. Not sure if I need, but it's a great way to get your feet wet.

How is the St James EL34? I am usually looking for variants of light to medium crunch tones, which are hard to do convincingly with sims in my experience. High gain is no problem for sims, but spankin and crunchin on sims leaves me a bit cold usually.
Is SSL "Sub" part of the fusions series?

A: The SSL "sub" seems to include everything plug the Harrison stuff.
B: Either of the St James are perfectly fine, but that OD pedal seems to be of great use here, so I bought the "full" version. Also, that "black" amp they have has some beautiful clean tones. I'm very versatile, I like clean, crunch, beef, or any/all of the above.

Are the UAD/Console amps unable to pull any of this off? curious.

I seem to be in the minority but I personally love (and use professionally) many of the UA/Brainworx/Softube amps via Console or Luna (with an Apollo obviously).
Caveat; I know how to tweak an amp and an amp model and I take the time to do it. Generally, presets are a no-go for me.

Yep. But the Blackstar actually has some really good ones for a change, they are dry so you can use your own verb. Great starting points.

What's the best all-around UAD-2 amp for playing complete chords (not open 4ths or 5ths) with some amount of crunch or overdrive?

Hard one. Try the Suhr.
