Great collection!!
Of all of the mkii compressors, I use the LA-2A collection more often than the others. My go to compressor for vocals and drums. I really would not be happy without having this collection! They are truly spectacular!!
R. Karamoy
Legendary quality!
These are the most precise LA-2A emulation plugins. So glad UA even added the original LA-2 version. The sonic impact is astounding!

It's all that!
A lot of great things have been said and it's all true and said a million times.
Only thing I might add is that being a novice mixer with a band (and my own electronic music aspirations), this pack was exactly what I needed. So simple it's almost braindead - you simply can't get it wrong and that's why I now get perfect vocal compression all the time.
I still haven't had time to test them on anything but vocals, but I'm gonna 'cause I'm a bit unsure of their actual differences. For now I just blindly reach for the LA-2 for its strange and delicious powers to make me (me!) sound good :-)

Studer on everything
I took the chance (read: put down the not insignificant amount of cash) and bought the Studer/Ampex bundle because I dig the idea of tape saturation although I've never recorded to tape.
Now I've been using it on all tracks in my band's 10 song post-death metal project and I am very happy with it! It helps tie the tracks of each song together for a consistent expression. It gives the snare great fullness, rounds off the harsh edges of the higain guitars and makes the vocals sound just very pleasing. Bass and kick also gets a go, but I'm still learning to avoid adding too much lowend, it seems it adds up fast. Eats DSP but it's fun to do an all-Studer 'first mix' and then bounce the 'Studered' tracks, and go on to round two (eq, comp etc.)

Great Plug in..
Very musical gain and responsive eq section. By far the number 1 pre amp plug I use on guitars and vocals.

First I was cross...
....cause I thought, great, why don't I get an upgrade....
But then I demoed it and I have to say that for the first time,
I really had the impression that a plugin is sounding truly analogue.
Amazing piece of digital craftmanship! Thank you!

I can't live without it
To be honest? There are outside a lot of native alternatives of classic gear emulations, every day a new better than the others, and native means more portability/less problems, but this astounding plugin is the real reason why I still work with the UAD dsp system.
The real only alternative is a real Studer Tape recorder!
Period.

It worth, but...
This update is better sounding than the legacy Pultec, so I think it worth, although is subtle on extreme bands and settings.
I use this for the voice or the main instrument, then the legacy version for the rest, to spare DSP power.
My big disappointment is that the price for an update (because, basically, this is!) is too expensive for the legacy owners.
So I had to wait for the best combination of promotional voucher and discount period.
Very bad policy from UAD, IMO, for an average of expensive plugins and updates too...

Real or Plug???
The best PULTEC PLUG ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
A. Soares
Melhor que isso, só o real
Sem dúvida o plugin que mais gosto da UA, excelente som e diversas opções de timbres. Uso bastante nas ambiências de bateria, para filtrar os agudos dos pratos e, é claro, no mix bus. Melhor que esse, só um ampex atr 102 de verdade.

LA-2A WOW
This units are absolutely amazing. Each one has its own character and takes your tracks to a new level. Very rich and detailed sound! Thanks UAD-Team!
C. Laurent
Bravo !!!
Cette nouvelle série des LA2a est vraiment différente du legacy.
La finesse des réglages est d’une précision remarquable, le rendu est fidèle.
La consommation DSP reste correcte, et les trois versions proposées sont bien différentes.
J’aime beaucoup la version 1960s pour sont coté legato tempos…
Merci UAD pour cette refonte…Bien vu et apprécié.
L. Pachetti
definitely worth the upgrade!
i have tried these with different instruments and set up and I have to say it is a really big step up from the legacy one , totally sold to it! get it!
C. Russell
Honestly, a must have.
As someone who has used API before, this was a no-brainer for me. As I started to use it, I was surprised at the fact that I use the preamp section the most. It adds that "console magic" that everyone seems to really love these days. It's very smooth, just like its real life counterpart. With the classic sound of the 550L EQs along with the dynamics section, it's a real must have. If you're interested, buy it. If you're only half interested, still buy it.

LA-2A
Good stuff ! Close to the real thing! Great on vocals and bass
E. Solberg
Great channel strip
I use this with Apollo, the unison technology really seems to work very well. This plug is great when added to prerecorded material too, I find myself choosing this over the other UAD strips more and more often. And then for tracking it really shines with Apollo. I have a rack full of quite good 500-series preamps (512c, Lola, capiVP 28) and other good outboard pres. They all get a run for their money with this plug. I still prefer other pres for essential stuff like kick, snare, overheads etc, but I suspect this is out of habit as much as anything else. I would happily use this plug for everything. Highly recommended!
C. Huber
awesome
i really love this one, i use it very much on vocals, electric guitars and drums,
the Legacy Version sounds a little bit harsher, which also can work great if you are after a more aggressive sound, the new updated version sounds more smooth and transparent, and really adds some nice mojo to the tracks!
J. Stedt
Great collection, a must have!
The majority of our productions are bass heavy dance music orientated so before getting this collection I tried all the demos of the different compressors available from UA, found a lot of interesting variations and colouring of the sound from all of them but the one that really stood out was the LA-2A Grey for the basses, really amazing sound. I was so convinced we would go with the 1176, dbx or the TLA but this one really has such an amazing tone to it. Did not get the chance to try the Manley yet but this collection is a must, find it really useful on vocals as well. I had a few coupons so ended up paying like $79 for this collection so yeah, all in all really happy I got it.

Outstanding collection!!!
You know, I bought my Apollo Quad audio interface for its inherent quality (and quality there's a plenty!) and, of course, to have access to UA plugins.
You can try them, you listen to them and you can wisely choose the tool you're looking for to get to your envision; the Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection is just one of those tools (three, actually!) that is so magical sounding on the widest variety of music genres that you don't have to think twice before you buy it!

Dance to the Console
I mix EDM on SSL 9000 or API , the sound of the API often winds
Up being the favorite sound.. So for in the box- Steven Slate's virtual console
With the UAD API channel gets it done...
