About as good as it gets.
Regrettably I only bought this after the 88RS and API Vision, due to the extra filters/gate/compressor etc compared to the 1073, and because of how many 1073 emulations I already own.
It took me until now to appreciate how great it is to drive the line amp section in conjunction with the EQ and channel fader. This EQ is all about how you combine the various features, and no other plugin comes close. The tone is incredible, as a unison pre it's fantastic. Just a great shame how much DSP it consumes.

Great sound!
This Preamp and EQ do the trick. I can't explain in detail what makes the magic happen, but when i mix by ear i just love what the sound turns into. I barely can record without this Neve. This is my favorite. It feels like sonic home. For an analog fan who loves grit and soul this is what does it for me.

Colour and Character
Getting back into writing music and just bought the Apollo twin. UAD plugins and in particular the 1073 is an amazing extension to my song writing that I never thought possible.
I’m so excited that I made the decision to invest in this amazing platform.
Well done UA!

Worth the money, lots of fun!
This plugin sounds excellent! Everything I put through it gets a little bit better to my ears. I especially love to use it as a bass di. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this one at all! Thanks Universal Audio!

Neve 1073 Preamp
This plugin is very good, I often use it in the mix on the acoustic guitar and bass guitar
E. Polat
Surprisingly good!
You feel the difference when trying to replace by another pre or eq! Then you say, 'omg, that's the thing!'

Great preamp and EQ
I love the coloration that the 1073 adds to my recordings in the Unison slot. The EQ is very musical and the impedance switch is a nice option to have. I also like using the Legacy EQs that come with the 1073 as they use low DSP for such nice EQs.

Extremely wonderful
Just using this plug-in makes it a NEVE sound. It is very wonderful to use for both recording and mix.

Sounds brilliant!
I am recording acoustic guitar and voice through the NEVE 1073 Plugin and it sounds very good. The quality of the sound is solidly brilliant.

Amazingly close to my actual 1073's
Yup. I said it. In many ways, it can do what my hardware EQ's can do. I don't use it as part of the Unison system seeing as I track with my 1073's. But as an insert it is amazing. I now rarely go out of the box for this tone once tracking is complete.

I died and went to heaven!
I have got to use a real 1073 and I am shocked how good the plug in is. Its my go to on everything and just sounds great even without using the EQ. Thanks UAD for making it possible for my to afford a KILLER 1073! My favorite UAD by far!

This thing is great! Really.
I don't know what sorcery is going on with the programming behind this 1073 plugin nor have I ever had the pleasure to use a real Neve 1073.
However....there is most definitely something here. Something really, really good. I can't tell you if it sounds 'exactly like a real 1073' but I can tell you, for example, I slapped a SM57 on a small Fender tube amp, played a Telecaster through it, just at the point of breakup, like always, only this time - on playback there was THE sound that I have heard on a ton of records. Keith was in my room. I actually had to pick my jaw up off the desk. I have real Telefunken/TAB V376 pres - which are absolutely amazing, but this 1073 plugin really has 'THE' sound. Though I tried, and I really know what I am doing, I could not get this particular sound before. I get great sounds mind you, BUT this is THE sound I have been looking for. Why, you may ask, do the old 70's records sound like they do (best rock guitar and vocal sounds ever)? Space around everything? Definition? Better than real? Well. Here's why. This 1073 plugin seems to give a tightly focused space and definition to an instrument or voice like nothing else I have used, ever. If a real Neve console sounds like this, and it must because I have heard these sounds before, it is no wonder they are legendary. For fucks sake. UA has really outdone themselves here. I am only pissed its 99 dollars now. Hahahaha. Well, I paid more than that and I don't feel abused at all. This is a GREAT plugin if you are looking for that particular sound that nothing else will give you. I am very, very happy with this. Between this and my real Telefunkens and LA2As I'm pretty much the Record Plant, 1974. Very happy.

Tracking vocals
I got it with my Apollo Twin at October Sale. While tracking vocals it's magical... Not limited with vocal tracking but I mainly use for vocals. Adding great warmth & saturation. Also great on electric, acoustic or bass guitars.

Amazingly accurate
When compared to my BAE 1073 mic pre, I'm stunned at how much better I like the plugin vs my hardware. Wow
