The bigest money lost
Because of DSP usage I never use this plugin. I waisted my money on this unusable plugin. Insted of this unusable dsp hungry plugin I am using waves Sheps plugin.

Great Plugin
This plugin is a great addition, I track everything through this for a good base sound. However I am pretty bummed that the price lowered from $129 (when I bought it on the Black Friday sale) to only $99 the next day when it said the Black Friday deals were going to end. I guess I will be more hesitant on buying from here and see what the real prices are first. Great plugin when you catch it at the right price though.

Sounds great on Unison
Having the ability to place a Neve 1073 on my recordings using Unison is totally worth the price alone. Very high DSP usage but I guess it needs to to emulate the detail and character of such a classic Preamp.

Incredible
Do you *really* need a real Neve 1073? Are you that confident that there's hidden mojo in the analog world that isn't possible in the digital realm? If you're reading this review, probably not. Get one 1073, or get this plug+many others for the same price, and you'll never look back. Use it with Slate's VCC (UAD, where's your answer to that at, huh?! ;) ) and you'll be in heaven.

Do not wait to buy this
This has become my most used plugin of all time. I record with as little as possible and I am unable to turn this off. Don't wait to buy this. You will not regret this purchase.

Nice plug!!!!!!
Just bought it today but used it a lot as free everytime i can...
It sounds great on vocals and guitars for me.
Great on mastering too. Great harmonics everywhere!!!!

1073...
What can you really say other than this should be one of the first plugins you purchase with your Apollo….the 1073 is a smooth vintage sounding EQ that has amazing characteristic you'll never find with any other EQ. There's a reason these little gems were renowned as one of the best PreAmp/EQ's ever made. Just do yourself a favour and buy this…you will not regret it.

The salt.
I mean, if you like salt. On your food, I mean.
The analogy I'm trying to make is that most people tend to put salt on food, just because it blends with the other flavors and brings out that essential flavor to what they are eating. This preamp/EQ plugin is not necessarily pepper, nor chilis, but just that hint of salt. On pretty much everything.
I've read more reviews that users have written saying how they have become addicted to it, use it on everything. I'm becoming one of those. It's my go-to. It's just that little bit, that lovely Neve EQ, that lovely little bit of pre-amp potential to drive the sound. Love it.
Hope it doesn't raise my blood pressure *too* much.

Just love it!
My new go-to eq. It does all you expect from a 1073. Absolutely fantastic! I also got the legacy 1073 plug which I still think is good and use in on occasion, but in comparison, this is quite a different beast. I tend to use it as my standard channel eq. Great to add "quality" to any source. Drums and vocals is especially nice to run through it. At the moment I use the 1073 and the pultecs as my eq's, which seem to completment each other brilliantly. Should be among the first 2 plugs you get among the UAD's.

My favorite UA plugin
It sounds great and warms up anything it's on. My only complaint is how much DSP it requires, but I don't always use the EQ so I can get away with using quite a bit of them at once with a quad core Apollo. Nicely done.
M. Guillen
Wow! In love with the sound!
Just cant stop using this amazingly designed plugin, great for tracking guitars and vocals!
M. Grandegger
I recommend this one!
I've used it on bass and on the master track so far..
it instantly made them sound warmer and feel good. Nice.

the EQ is the winner here
the pre is great, but the gain knob is a little touchy
the EQ is radical - its just as colorful as a BAE 1073, maybe a little more exaggerated in the overdriven harmonics which is cool sounding
of course, it's a DSP suck and uses 25% of my DUO processor, but its the gain knob that knocked off a star for me
H. Zwarts
nice saturation
Love this plug. I own the hardware and it sounds almost like it. Awesome job UAD. I'm not a big fan of the GUI knob-controls. Why make everything exactly like the hardware? Please make it more mouse/computer friendly :-)

Feel a bit shortchanged but it glows.
This thing colors up nicely. Extremely versatile over many genres.
My only beef is having to pay full price for an upgrade of something I already bought.

sounds amazing but
The DSP usage is just ridiculously high, I'm not a coder but I cannot simply Believe this requires as much power as it says. Which leaves me to think the amount if horsepower in an Apollo twin duo is not anything to write home about. If native 5* all the way

great Pre amp!
Good~!!
The best preamp
E. Sevmont
Magic!
This is my go to plugin for rock instruments with the Apollo twin, presets are a very useful starting point too! Customers, particularly vocalists usually choose this one when doing A/B tests, if you can use the Unison tech this plug is a must!

Crystal Clear Sound!
I'm wondering reading some bad reviews about that plugin!
1073 is a very powerful plugin and it has rich sound in all frequencies that gives. Is one of the best plugins i ever had!
If you have a good recording, one 1073 is enough to "finish" your sound. If you don't like it, just check your recording, your monitors, your ears!
Uad plugins is a very good investment.
Can't say more, the Uad sound talks!
