If you're getting 3-4 plugins...
Make sure to include this one. The hype is real. Harmonic distortion is uncanny... test it out and see for yourself.
As others have stated. You have to be strategic in how you use it as it is a huge DSP hog. I use it mainly for tracking or mildly distorting an instrument bus.
My recommendation. Start the demo on your next tracking/mixing session and see for yourself. I also have the 31102, but use the 1073 way more, even on VI and synths. This plug really creates the "distance" and warmth one is looking for when using hardware...this is way more accessible and easy to use... instant results.
1073 EMT 140 SSL G AMPEX essential. 1176 if you have extra $$

Whatever it is I just can't stop!
I really love what this does to this thing called music. It inspires to make good instruments to sound musical and gives good things to the soul. The EQ adds delicious amounts of bottom and highs while maintaining a thorough middle. Only drawback is that you can't put it on too many tracks. If you could, this would easily have gotten 5 stars! Ace product UA. Keep on rocking in the Free World.

Preamp Emulation
I use the Apollo system as a portable rig for live and location recording. The basic preamps in the apollo are quite usable, but the 1073 plug-in adds harmonic character and intensity of tone. I have the UA-610 plug as well; they both improve the results that I get when tracking through the Apollo's preamps. I use both pre's for mixing as well-- when I want to add weight without serious compression. What I really want? A higher end version of the Apollo with better analog circuitry, and more inputs. The Apollo is close to being a studio-in-a-box for me-- I'd be happy to pay a premium for a higher end version!

Love it!
I've never had the privilege of using an actual 1073 but I borrowed a GAP73 clone from a producer friend and I was going to buy it from him..until I got this unison plugin for my Apollo twin! Sounds fantastic with every mic in my humble collection.
I mainly record/mix downbeat/ambient electronic music. Now with this plugin joining my LA2A and 1176 collections I have everything I need to record vocals and guitars parts. Best of all I can throw it in the bag with the macbook and track anywhere!
Thumbs up!

Serious contender against some boutique preamps!
I like all 4 flavors of Unison preamps. (And to be honest, I don't like the apollo preamps much by themselves.) The Neve pre brings some intimacy and sweetens sibilants. It is a great balance of warm but clear. The EQ is just enough to sculpt a great shape without getting obtrusive. The low end is tight and big. The highs are open, not harsh.
This isn't my go-to channel insert for EQ or color because it is a big resource hog. But it is my first choice for tracking through Apollo.

Increíble!
Mi experiencia con el Plug-in Neve 1073 modelado por Universal Audio me dejo sorprendido, lo he usado en guitarras y con el logro un carácter en el sonido que nunca había logrado con ningún Plug-in, estoy muy contento de haberlo adquirido ya que se ha convertido en una herramienta invariable para mi trabajo como Ingeniero de Audio.

It's like magic...
So good! I'm amazed. At first, I was really skeptical, but now I'm a convert. I haven't done side by side comparison to the hardware, because I no longer have access to them, but this plug sounds absolutely legit to my ears. Smooth, gnarly, wooly, clean (ish), it does it all, just like the hardware. UA nailed it (IMHO)!

Amazing tone
Adds the coolest tone to tracks. It's part of that sound I always tried to get...
C. Jespersen
Perfectly modeled!
I do not use my Neve 1073 hardware pre anymore. It is so much easier with the Uad software version - And they sound the same!
Thanks for the really delicious eq that comes with the pre amp.

I can't NOT have it on vocals now! UAD just keeps changing the game!!

Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ Plug-In Collection
This is easily my favorite plugin ever. The 1073 gives you tone, dynamics control, EQ and best of all an output attenuator so you can really crank the levels and trim back for further processing.
This is a must have for.......well for all sources. Vocals seem less harsh, drums slam and sound huge, guitars....well c'mon, 1073's were meant for guitar.

Gorgeous preamp for voiceover artist!
I have been doing voiceover for more than 12 years. Now I'm excited to find this plug-ins runs in Apollo Twin Duo. This means I can carry my voiceover studio on road without sound quality compromising!
Although I already have an UA-610B plugins on board, I felt it's not quite suit my voice style.The UA 610-B is a little bit too "hot tempered", "fiery" to my voice, which is not good enough for smooth voiceover. It's like chewing a cocao bean or raw chocolate.
And I have a real physical UA LA-610, it's like chewing 2 cacao beans or 3 raw chocolate.
The Neve 1073 is fat and smooth, like a 60% milk chocolate in your mouth. Always colouring my voice right.
Sorry for my English, that's my best way to praise this fancy gear.
