I have no Native version (Why???!!!)
Bought this preamp previous year and still didn't get native version of this plugin. Shame on UAD team.

Tone for days
This was a preamp I knew little to nothing about, so I tried it out when I had a SPARK subscription. I recently bought it a few weeks back and it's my go-to at the moment when recording vocals. I like to push this one hard to get all that gooey saturation and distortion but it tend to start clipping too soon. I just wish this one had a transparent master output at the end of the signal like some other UAD preamps.

Off with the dust
Recently got Helios 69 Preamp and EQ collection and tried it in a few mixes. Never worked with a Helios console, but some friends have. After several trials and tests, called some of them to hear. The result was noneless than great. The Preamp gets a bit "crushy" in a very nice sounding saturation and the EQ is what you would expect from a classic board like Helios. A great "dust off" for someone who wants classic sounding plugins in a mix

Excellent - especially on Bass!
A great emulation of the Helios Console!

Helios 69. Great for mixing. Unsupported for long time users though.
This used to be one of my favorite plugins to mix with. Great midrange on guitars. Sadly I own the UAD2 version and can no longer use it on current Native systems without paying for it a second time. Great plugin but not enough to justify forcing customers to buy it twice to be able to use it. I enjoyed mixing with it but it has ultimately been a waste of money since I cant use it now

Very good results
I used it on a big drum, some electric snare drums. Also on a vocal track (a complicated one). In the future I will expand the area of use because the result was very good. Personally, over time I have physically reproduced several models of preamplifiers with lamps with great attention to detail. In conclusion, this Helios emulation is very close (and in certain situations) surpasses the original. We can't develop here but the UAD result is professional.

Great emulation!
I own the Lindell channel and like both for different reasons but appreciate what the feel of the UAD a bit more.

Game changer for me
I hate to use the phrase "game changer" but for me that is what it is. I didn't think that I needed yet another "classic" emulation, but when you find the sweet spot with this there is nothing like it. The series I currently score is primarily for orchestra and electronics. This plug in brings amazing definition and vibe to everything that passes through it. In conjunction with the Manley Variety Mu it delivers instant magic.

Smooth on rhythm session
Love this on acoustic guitar rhythm sessions. Tames down harshness

Can’t hear it
Like the Helios EQ but sounded like a boring preamp with distortion to me which I need like a hole in the head. V76 won in every case with the 1073 up there too and API does something fun for percussion so the Helios didn’t make the cut.

Fat vintage tone
Great preamp. That Low knob ! Delivers plenty of harmonics . I use it for several purposes but love it specially with my drum room mics.
V. Kpoudosu
It sounds really good especially the lows
I love how it works and how it makes me work. The bass boosts are the best that I have ever worked with.

Beauty and the beast
This beast is one of my favorites and never fails to impress. Armijo productions

Helios 69 pre & eq
It's one of the best UA EQs out there! I like the bass and mids, and setting the treble to the lowest +4db is a bit much in general but I understood it properly follows the design of the hardware.
