Not what I thought it was.
In an attempt to purchase the Ibanez Tube Screamer plugin, I bought this bundle thinking it was included because the "buy" button on the Tube Screamer does not take you to a page for the plugin on the UA website. Even searching for it on the website turns up nothing. I have updated the UAD powered plugins software and still can't buy this plugin and am one day from the demo expiring. The UA support bot is worthless on this particular issue.

Fun to Mess with
These pedals work on everything.

verry nice
Oh,Bermuda surprise me that much .Raw is already of good.Ts9'tone is impressively close to that of an analog pedal.

A high price to pay
They never seem to discount the distortion essential bundle and it forces anyone who really just wants a pedal to drive their amp plugins, to pay a premium. I have to assume this pays off for them or it’s a licensing issue. It’s the missing link for me, between having to use physical gear and being able to use just my Apollo and Luna. It forces me away from the ecosystem because once I need to dip out of Luna, I prefer to use Logic, as luna has issues (I’m sure intentionally) with non-UA plugins. $49 for each pedal is a fair price. Not offering them separately is unfair and dare I say it, insulting to all us loyal customers pumping money into the UA cash cow, knowing the spark sub is going to make us all regret it later. Do better UA!

Stop the bundle
I already have the Raw (as everyone else) and don’t need the Bermuda at all. Listen to your customers and sell the Ibanez alone

Guitarists probably need this
The Bermuda (Fuzz Face) is quite nice.

TS Overdrive not included in bundle that came with Apollo device?
I recently bought an Apollo Solo and this bundle came with it as an add-on. I have been able to use both the Bermuda and Raw plug-ins, however the TS Overdrive still requires a separate purchase. As far as I can tell it has not been included in this bundle.

Love the TS9
I docked a star because as many have said I already had the RAW. I put it ahead of the Marshall Plexi for an Iron Maiden tone and it delivered!

Amazing bundle for 808 distortion
Amazing bundle to add a clean distortion that helps identify your 808’s on low quality speakers.
T. Shimizu
Not that good
I expected too much. This bundle is not that good.
A. Chas
Good sound...
I really enjoy that bundle but the choice is quite limited. No Boss, Marshall, Fender, DoD or many many more manufacturers...from each manufacturer there is at least one pedal that is legendary and worth emulating. So...I'm waiting! ;)

maybe
I've tried all 3 of these on demos and they sound pretty good. The TS and Raw pedals are available from a lot of plugin makers for cheap and there is nothing special about the UAD version. I would love to get the Bermuda but not at this price. Brainworx sells its guitar pedals for $25 when they are on sale and they are as good as anything UA offers.
A lot of people say that got RAW for free. How's that work? I've been a customer for around 15 years and was never offered this for free.

Fantastic range of Tones from these iconic pedals!
Fantastic range of Tones from these iconic pedals and I am loving both the TS and Bermuda!
Docked a star because this bundle should really cost 99USD on sale and not 119USD. That would put it more inline with the price of a guitar/bass amp when they are on sale. Docked a star for the price. As many have mentioned this should be de-bundled and each pedal sold separately for about 50-70USD (sale price) then the bundle would make more sense at 119USD sale price. Still, i'm not disappointed and love most of my UA products. You really can't go wrong with having these pedals in your arsenal!

Great sound!
Adjusting the bundle gives you the sounds of the masters. I returned my pedals after I heard I tried this bundle.
I. Yunakov
808 TS
This man here told you the whole truth
"Listen to your customers!"
It's a pity that everyone is forced to buy 2 extra pedals (one they already own), when we say it, we all just want the TS Overdrive pedal in this package. Please, please, please, do a great service to your customers and stop doing these deceptive things. Make TS Overdrive a separate purchase.

Why not?
Over the year, I've spent a small fortune on Tube Screamers, and boutique clones of it - and other pedals. I was happy to simply plug them into my UA interface, but this plugin saves me the step and sounds more like the real deal (when paired with a UA amp sim).

A. Mikheev
