Ich bin begeistert
EInfach klasse! Ich habe den Effekt auf Vocals angewendet. Schafft Räumlichkeit und Wärme, ohne sich aufdringlich in den Vordergrund zu spielen. Perfekt, ein neues Lieblings-Plugin.

Would honestly like a refund....
I did a little bit of research before purchasing. I saw on someplaces it said "you need UAD hardware to use these plugins," or "you just need to download and activate the licenses before you can use them," OR "UAD will literally not let you purchase this without having previously purchased UAD hardware." Well, I've purchased, I've installed, downloaded and activated the licenses....and TA DAAAAA.....they don't work. PS, I don't have UAD hardware, and if it's true that they won't let you purchase without having previously purchased UAD hardware...what a scam.

The Pultec Passive EQ collection> Excellent
Way back in the 70's I remember going to a studio in NJ that had the Pultec EQ in their rack. I could not believe the sound they produced. Now UA has done an excellent job in making this series of EQ's that come the closest to that original sound I heard in that studio...This is a must have for a home studio and I could not be happier with this purchase...Wonderful and keep up the great work...Regards, Michael

Great product for the money.
I have demo'd many of the other Pultec plugins and owned the new production hardware unit. This plugin version attempts more of the tube mojo than the others, and pulls it off as well as a plugin can. As with any plugin when you start layering saturators etc the signal falls apart somewhat; which is the physics of 0's and 1's vs real analog but buying this plugin anytime it's on sale is a no brainer. Yes you can shape that "Pultec curve" somewhat with other EQ's but sometimes simplicity is best. I'm glad I bought this, hope to own another hardware piece some day!

Smash the Wonk!!!
So yeah if ya need a lil' sumn to kick that wonky , a lil' scale that rock wall on a state solid donkey !! It is essential to tinker with the knobs until you freely fall into blissful sounds . That surround as they grab you up , and command your precious attention . Leaving you with an undeniable longing to twist further still . Leading you with foresight , hungry , and awaiting your next meal .

Beautifully simple.
Love the sound. Love the simplicity of programming this that can yield amazingly complex sounding results. Well done UA. I bought this and the Opal and they are both stunning.

Best Pultec Emulation!
I had the pleasure of using Pultecs at Coney Island Sound, and this is the most true emulation on the market.

Amazing sounding EQ. Adds analogue warmth and body.

UaD Pultec Passive EQ collection
Definitely the best Pultec emulation I've ever used, it brings a very present analog coloring.
UaD's Pultec Passive EQ collection has already earned a place in my Mixing Chain.

Should have 5 stars but........
... Too many plugins in these bundles that are included when I bought my Apollo unit. Other than that, i got an amazing deal between the sale price and my discount code. I never would have bought the Century Tube Channel but now I abuse this plugin when people send me tracks recorded at home on lesser preamps/interface.

classic
if you want to strenghten up your tracks, give them body and punch, and make them really heard in your entire mix without touching your volume fader, this is what you need..
J. Telge
good analog sounding Synth
Like and use this one a lot. Yes, to be online its a little bit anoying, but for me at least its ok. I only work in my Studio.

This Was A Major Surprise - The LA2 & Pultec Combo
I needed an affordable soundcard for some laptop work outside my main studio, so I opted for the UA Volt 1, the cheapest option available. That turned out to be a great purchase, well worth the price. Along with the soundcard, I received a bundle of free plugins, including the LA2. and the LA2A Gray and Silver compressors and the Pultec EQs. Over the years, I've accumulated numerous plugins, but I don't even install most of them anymore. For the past seven years, my go-to EQ has been Fabfilter, which is functional and does the job. For compression, I usually rely on Ableton's stock plugins simply because all my other comps are no better. I spent years searching for plugins with that elusive "mojo," and I had basically given up and made a decision I wasn't even going to bother downloading the bundle.
But one evening after using the soundcard for about two weeks I thought, OK I will check them out, expecting the usual underwhelming results. Plugins downloaded, fired up a session and to my major surprise, I found myself very quickly impressed. I started applying the LA2A compressors and Pultec EQs on various tracks and very quickly replaced all other comps and Eqs in the session with the LA2s and Pultecs. Just initiating the LA2's without adjusting anything seemed to hit the mark every time - and still does.. The EQ;s I was pushing to max and still track elements sounded good. However, I told my self its just my imagination, after all I've been here many times before and its probably just that placebo effect of thinking something sounds great and the next day I will know its just my imagination. But the next day the session still sounded good, and what I was hearing suspiciously sounded like Mojo. I was beginning to realise the plugins had genuinely helped me improve the sound. The mix had a vibe reminiscent of what I used to achieve with analog consoles, and the compressors added a cool, pumpy quality to the tracks. Even when over pumped, still sounded good - It was just more vibe.
But because years of reality hitting and the ultimate come down I was still thinking this newfound enthusiasm will wear off because that's what always happens. But, that's not what happened. I've continued to use the LA2A and Pultec plugins in every session since. I'm actually enjoying EQ'ing and compressing stuff - Imagine that!. Yes, I also hear that 3D thing others talks about in their reviews.. Coming from someone who had grown jaded with plugins over the years, believe me, this is a significant endorsement.
I don't know what magic the UAD coders have worked, but to me these plugins are very musical and have legit Mojo. And you know what's also great about them - no fancy flashy distracting Guis which force you to mix with eyes. Needless to say the coders have done a 10+ star job. I've never owned the original hardware, but have owned some emulations in the past and these plugins outshine others by all others I have tried or owned by a huge margin. The fact that I got them with a £100 soundcard, which also included a decent Plate Reverb, an Echo (not really my style), a channel strip, and a Synth, is incredible. But its the LA2A and Pultec plugins that are the true stars of the bundle though and its well worth picking up the Volt 1 just to get the plugins.. They are now my absolute and only go to EQ and Comps and only if I need to get very surgical will I fire up the Fab.
