In your face vocals!
I am very impressed by the LA2A collection. It realy sounds like the analog gear to my ears. I use these regularly in sessions on vocals and acoustic guitar. LOVE these plugins! I've used many other emulations of this hardware and none even come close to UA stuff. Highly recommend!

More nice look, more nice sound
Beautiful look I love it. However, any of them sounds better than the legacy version. More clear, more big, more close.
I have a 6176 hardware to make the records and then I put one of these at the end of the chain as a limiter.
Better than anything.

Dead easy, gorgeous looking, sweet sounding
I've never worked with a real Pulteq, and quite frankly I never understood why people were raving about this old box. Haven't EQs gotten so much better over the years?
Well, I don't know if it's the ease of use or the character it has but I do see now why it is still so popular. It has become my go-to EQ for guitars and individual drums, even sometimes vocals.
Many times just because it's so dead easy to dial in.
This new version is not all that different sonically from the legacy plug. It does have some more beef low end and some slight improvements, but sadly not enough for me to pay the price.
The GUI is one of the most beautiful UA has put out there and it is also optimised for retina displays which few of the UA plugs are. A+!

Really Great
I lean more to the player/computer geek side of things. So I wanted to take a while with these guys before leaving a review. Having said that, the Passive EQ collection is simply great. They sound great, the presets are very usable and tweaks are easily made with musical results. Again, I don't have tons of experience with the hardware version so I was a little apprehensive. That quickly went away. Well done to all at UA.

Love the silver
Love the faster time constants on the silver. I use it a lot on vocals and other sources. The mkii collection adds some nice extra special magic on crucial tracks over the original la2a.

Incredible software compressor from UA!
I’ve worked with the actual LA2A many times and this software version comes amazingly close to the real thing! It gives unique vintage taste and works great at the Master channel strip as a limiter. Its natural and analog character adds a bit of “life” to each sound.

Work just great !!!
Work just great !!!
I put it on every single track and every chain in my DAW's Thx UA. Great Job.
A. Giusti
Great sounds right from the presets
I never used any of the hardware this plugin is based on but I can say they make every track sound awesome. Just swapping between presets is aurally pleasing.

FULLNESS!
I only have used The LA 2 since I've got this pack. But BODY AND WARMTH AND DEPTH, DEFINITION..
I love this as a 2nd compressor in the chain. Beautiful master piece of a plugin!
GET IT! WORTH having in the arsenal

Très efficace
Très efficace et différente couleur suivant le modèle. Je l'utilise sur presque tout
R. Trias
Smooth without the Hassle of Tubes
UAD has done it again - I assume that MK. III of this plug-in collection will simply be them shipping the hardware straight to your door.
D. Sanchez
another great
while I nearly always have the LA2 compressing my mic'd synth pads, the brushed LA2A is my goto on so many other things..
M. Ape
Excelente
Es todo lo que esperaba. Por supuesto trabaja de manera diferente a los compresores actuales donde se puede modificar cada parámetro y los que no conocimos estos aparatos en su versión hardware debemos tomarnos un tiempo para acostumbrarnos, pero vale el esfuerzo. Una vez más felicitaciones.

Teletronix LA-2A
Pretty happy with the Teletronix LA 2 Blue Face. I record guitars using the POD and throw one over the Insert. I've been dialing in the JJ-Blues Guitar preset and adjust the gain and it is instantly present.

Amazing Tools From an Amazing Company
The LA-2A Classic Collection is Great to get things Balanced and sounding right. Get your LA-2A from the Original guys that Created it....
A. Guild
Speechless
They nailed it. Awesome Analog goodness!!! This is how plugins should sound. Silky smooth filters. Brings out the fundamentals very nicely.

A sculpting dream
Love this EQ for it's lack of a bad spot any place. It's pretty much salt to taste anywhere and you can't do anything wrong. Listen to some of my work I've done here galacticpolicy.com

AWESOME - Trite, but it applies!
Can't believe the difference this makes on my tracks. the LA-2 is simply amazing. I've used it on several different voices, instruments, genres -- blues to bluegrass -- and it's buutah! The silver and grey are great too. Haven't had a chance to use them as much yet, but the silver was killer on some acoustic guitar stuff I tracked. My favorite plugin so far.
