Neve Unison
Taking advantage of a generous UAD offer, I bought my first Unison plug in. The Neve unison plug in is an incredible value. That said, I don’t usually use plug ins. I am a firm believer in hardware and own vintage Neve pre amps. After a simple install, I was pleasantly surprised how much the UA Neve resembles the real thing. I am a believer now. Thanks UA

Neve Preamp is AWESOME!
The Neve Preamp is AWESOME! You can't go wrong with 2 knobs. Don't let its minimalist design fool you, the Neve Preamp sounds GREAT from the start. I love gear that is simple and easy to use, and I chose the Neve Preamp over the Neve 1073 for its smaller DSP load and cleaner sound. Paired with the Neve 1081 EQ, I get a warm, thick, and fat tone with plenty room on a single DSP chip. Highly recommended!

Neve Power
When I bought the apollo twin mkii I heard that famous neve preamp was available for unison and I had to try it out and sure enough I bought after the demo. I use on all my recordings and sounds that need that extra warm boost.

Professional Grade
I put this on my mic chain & immediately took my vocals to the sound that I hear in the industry. Especially hip hop.

It is the best sound. It seems to be using original hardware. Do not eat a lot of dsp is good. Thank you for distributing free of charge to existing users.

A winner in Sound and Simplicity!!!
I´ve just demoed all UNISON-Pre Amps with a real good (Pop-)singer. And the differences between the Preamps are huge.
We startet with UNISON in clean mode (without an Emulation) and we were really impressed by its flatness and clarity. Its a real good pre for recording without coloration.
Then I tried 610-b - well...for my ears it is a little bit sharp for Vocals and I would use it with an De-Esser.
After that I tried VoxBox which is much more smooth and really ballanced. There is an saturation but not as harsh as it is by the 610-b. I like the option to compress and equalize during recording - BUT - it makes recording more timeintensive and difficult.
After that I tried the Neve 1290 Pre - which really nailed it!!! Without any equalization I got a really good, pleasing sound. It colorates for shure - but in a way, it adds charme to the Vocals. AND - I love the simplicity - only 2 Knobs, which you can easyly control through the big appollo knob.
Then I tried the Neve 1073, which sounds (no surprise) much the same as the 1290. The EQ is not really interesting for me. Equalizing is something I usually do after recording without the singer sitting in my neck - and there are so many EQ-Plugs, which sound similar or better than the one in 1073.
Afer that I tried API, which is very good, too. Its sound reminds me to the VoxBox.
Then we tried SSL, which was in my ears for Vocals too sharp - like the 610b.
Then we tried the Neve 88 - but it has an unspektacular Sound for me, because it sounds like unison in clean mode. In a digital DAW, you dont need an clean plugin, because the DAW is clean for itself.
My Ranking:
1 - Neve Preamp (1290 or 1073)
2 - Manley VoxBox
3 - API
4 - Neve 88
5 - UA 610-b
6 - SSL

It's ok
If you own the 1073 channelstrip then the only reason is to save dsp power. I own all unsion pres except the voxbox and have the 1073 hardware. Tbh I don't like the fact that we are limited in dsp power for plugins that we buy nowadays anyway. It used to be cool when I was doing laptop sessions in dif locations. Now cpu's have improved.
Have used this plug to add colouration to several tracks in a mix like you can do with the studer. It's cool. I think in a multitrack recording it might come in hand so you're not using the exact same pre on every channel. Got it for 50 €. Kind of ok- Could have been a freebie for 1073 channelstrip owners. Very much digging the Helios though :)

Fabulous Neve Pre Amp
This is fabulously fantastic in the Unison mode. I have the Neve 1073 but this have become my go to Pre Amp. Pairs sonically with my SM 7 B mic

Helpful DSP footprint
When multi-mic-ing this has proven to be a lithe tool for maximizing DSP usage in my system.
j. elliott
nice to have a simplified version when i don't need the full 1073 eq.
does what i need it to do, when i want a little neve vibe without all the eq bells & whistles.

Great Vintage Preamp

Good HA!
Good HA & Low DSP!
M. Cartwright
good thick sound
great pre amp. I like its tone and it can overdrive great. If I need an eq I usually put one of my stand alone eq's after it(massenburg, Oxford, or trident)
