Pultec Passive EQ Collection
Love these EQs, The legacy was and still is a favorite and these add even more of that pultec character to my tracks.
B. Horsfield
Very Close
This is the Best plugin out there, at this moment and time, Pultec is the booty of all plugins full stop.

Excellent EQ pultec collection
Bonne equaliseur convient pour pas mal de source, je l'utilise principalement pour les voix.
Excellent !!!

Simply Better
What can I say about this one. If you like the old Pultec you will like this one even better. If you were't crazy about the old one, like me, this will probably change your mind. Anything, even stuff that already sounds fine kind of gets a subtle dimension added when applying the new Pultecs however slightly you chose to tune them.

Kick Drum Killer
I'm getting 10-20% more leeway when giving my kick drums more punch, much smoother sound, less distortion, noticeable improvement over the legacy version. Indispensable.

JUST RIGHT!!
3 Fantastic emulations that cover all of my bases. Simply inserting this plug on any track adds depth, air and loudness I have yet to achieve with anything else. Of course it also allows me to squash the s&$@ into oblivion.
I was going to complain for having to purchase it twice but after wielding this tool for the last month I'd have to say its worth every penny.
Bravo and Cheers
Love,

Better than the First and the First was damn good.
What's not to like? That it's not Analog? I like *this* AND I like the sound of my Tube-Tech PE 1C which is an analog Pultec "Clone". I would use BOTH on mixes.

Perfect
This time this is a slap in my face and this test confirm what I hear:

Very good simulation
I tried a lot of "Pultecs" from serveral firms, but the one from UAD sounds "open and clear". Some competitors seems to do "nothing" accept showing a vintage layout, some do a good work, but this is superb. The only disadvantage is the too long plugin-latency all UAD- Plugins have. Tipp from me: Do not use TOO much plugins of this type (input transformerl) in your channel strip, you will get too much THD when chaining

Used in nearly every mix!
A magical plugin for sure, transparent, clean and wonderful compression. Great on anything, and i'm still using the legacy version!

My New EQ!
I had no idea that plugin EQ could sound this great. I'm not sure how I got along with out it before. Keep up the good work UA!

Very Unique Eq
This eq responds very differently than all other eqs I have used. I am coming from a Waves perspective (which are essential tools as well).
This eq allows you to change the frequencies in a subtle transparent way... the sonic integrity of the signal is never compromised and you can really begin to affect the harmonics of the sound rather than the sound itself.
This is the best way that I can describe it. Try for yourself and see the beautiful transparency that it brings.
Check out https://soundcloud.com/rialety for a demonstration of this eq. I used it on vocals and the master fader for a low/high cut.

UAD Pultec New

but it's magic on vocals

A Difference You Can Hear
I am very surprise to hear a significant difference with them. I've spent most of my time with the Pultec EQP-1A and Waves Puigtec EQP-1A. The UAD sounds beefier. I had to push waves a little harder to get a closer sound but even at that there's still a focus in the UAD that just feels right. That's just one day of playing with it! Still messing with them including 1176 collection. I am very pleased with my purchase. Definitely will be expanding my plugins with UAD.

Sounds great when it works
Doesnt work with Studio One for more than a couple of minutes. Has been a slow process over the last 2 weeks trying to get customer support to fix this problem.
If I have to choose between using my UAD card or Studio One then I might be selling a satellite sometime soon !

UAD2 TRIUMPHANT RECREATION OF THE CLASSICS
I get more mileage out of these plugins than any other plugins I own. Let your ears guide you, nothing I say can benefit you more than your own experience.
I own alot of plugins,but because the quality of the Universal Audio collection, I am abandoning many of my former "go to" plugins. Good riddance to iLok hassles and work flow interruptions and hello positive work flow unimpeded from
UAD2!
The LA2a collection has surpassed any and all expectations and the price point makes it such an easy decision. Well done TEAM UA.

Great EQ!!
I love the warm sound of these new Pultec Collection, I used it on drums and vocals and it sounded awesome!
Y. Peretz
Excellent!
Like it very much. Natural sound and a lot of character...
D. Cunningham
Worth it!
Once I tried these and compared them to the legacy, it was pretty much a night and day difference. I love that with these you have 3 different options and especially within each the emphasis knob is there to fine tune it to your material for which frequencies you want compressed. Though i've never used the original hardware, compared to what the la2a plugin was before, these seem to be a giant leap ahead, with such impressive tonal qualities, you can't really pass it up!
