Okay for new users but not a great buy for Neve 1073 plug owners
If you own the Neve 1073 plug it's not worth it. You can just disable the EQ. It should have been a very small upgrade fee. The sound is amazing but you already have it in the 1073. If you don't want to spend the money on the 1073 then this is a great way to get a good sound out of your apollo.

Wow!!!!
This plugin made an instant difference. Warm, clear, fat sound!! I love it. It has become my “go-to” for a quick great sound. Thanks UA, you guys always deliver the goods.

Fantastic!
I've recently bought the Apollo Twin (MK II) - again. I owned the MK I version a couple of years ago. Then I tried other, great interfaces. I had wanted to scale down my recording gear to the bare minimum without losing quality. And the quality of my equipment before purchasing the Apollo Twin MK II was high. However, I had felt that I also wanted a bit more variety in tone, plus, my voice, I thought, needed a bit more colour in my vocal chain instead of using only clean (despite being great) interface pres. So after considering hardware preamps, I decided to buy the Apollo again and using the 610 first (which is also beautiful) before later at some point buying the 1073 channel strip. This was also a decision based on monetary issues. Just as I was demoing the 1073 (I had owned it before but wouldn't have been able to justify the money at this point) again, I saw this little plug-in. And what can I say: THIS is all I need, namely, a beautiful and lush-sounding Neve-style preamp to get my recordings into my DAW. THIS is all I had wanted. Using my coupons as well, I now have an inexpensive but perfect recording chain. Somehow I also prefer the pure preamp sound of this Neve to the 1073...

Excellent plug-in
Love the warmth and sound this adds to everything I put it on. Excellent

Goto unison for analog synth and more
Love these "more straight" Variant of the 1073 for most recordings. Simple but versatile, the handling is bit new to ITB geeks (like me), who usually avoids "overdriving" any inputs. This thing "loves" high gains - more then the "full" 1073 Emu and more forgivin for my taste. This makes unisono even more useful for me. Nice!

UAD doing what UAD do well
This is a great more traditional emulation in UAD's comfort zone. The Neve emulations are my favourite, with SSL coming a close second. Of course I have never had the money or the opportunity to ever try out any Neve hardware as this world is very good at depriving, probably better than it does anything else. For that reason it is a good thing that UAD are around so all us mass paupers get to at least have some tools of our trade. UAD gave me this for £15 because I am a loyal long standing customer. I am very thankful to them. They have done me some great deals over the years and my music is much improved because of their software genius. They are the pigments. There are no other plug ins that colour so well with such unique and individual character.
This Neve Pre is very different to the 73. The 73 of course is perhaps the best software emulation of a Neve on the market. It knocks socks of Steinberg's Portico and all the others. This new Pre is a real tool. It works on everything and it has a very nice sound. The shape of the output sounds like better quality with slight gain and even a little pseudo Neve colour. All frequencies benefit and respond very well. It works with everything; the synths sound good, even deep real bass sounds good, drums sound great, keyscape LA Custom sounds BEAUTIFUL through this Pre.
Keep the useful plug ins coming. It is mighty hard work warming the digital waves up, lol, more like steps not waves. I still wish I had the best analoueg studio on the planet, with the best mixing desk and reel to reels. Yet that also comes with the need for a jolly reliable maintenance crew and regular expensive bills to buy their skills. All that is getting so rare now, may be even soon to become extinct.
I ask any developers out there: Keep helping all us poor people who have the passion for music to warm up our digital steps. Thanks.

Definitely Worth It
I wasn't sure, since I already own the 1073. But the price was right so I went for it. I'm now in a habit of visiting each track I don't love, add the preamp to it turn it up til I hear the amount of clipping I like, and then I like the track. I've even found it to be a great addition on my mix buss.

Decent plugin
Should have been free to folks who had the unison version of the 1073.

Top alternative zum großen Bruder
Wenn man nicht so eine große Menge Dsp hat ist dieser Preamp eine gute Alternative zum großen Bruder.
Liegt bei mir auf Sub Gruppen, dem 2Bus oder wird gezielt zum anzerren einzelner Quellen benutzt. Feiern wir sehr!!
