All software; no hardware.
I know right? Where are the hardware sales? Maybe those are forthcoming.
Thomann got a bunch of hardware on sale, with daily deals even.
There are tons of hardware deals listed, but it looks like Synthtopia didn’t make 50 links to Reverb/Sweetwater/Thoman/etc for the same sales.
Chase Bliss is having an “old-fashioned 15% OFF SALE” on almost all of their pedals. They also have what they call the “Chase Bliss Mystery Box”.
“It costs roughly the equivalent of $299 worldwide and the worst thing that’s going to happen if you buy it is that you get a random Chase Bliss pedal (valued at least $349) with some extraneous goodies. All Chase Bliss Mystery Boxes, at the very least, contain one Chase Bliss pedal (not EXP or any other utilities). One detail I should mention though is that the only pedals that we have that are listed at $349 are Dark World and Warped Vinyl HiFi and we actually don’t have very many of those left, so chances are that you’ll probably get a pedal worth $399 or higher.”
Oversynth.com is running a “20% off sale” for all products now through December 15th.

Thanks for the feedback Darryl. I added this to the database!
