Another color for the palette!
Use this mostly on drums with good results.

Very Nice
I bought this bundle because I needed a tape plugin, but this just gave me so much more.
I really love the Pultec eq's on vocals, just so rich, and the galaxy echo on just about everything I've tried it on so far, same for the oxide tape, and the La2a's.
I'm super satisfied, everything in this bundle sounds great.

Excellent for a vocal chain
Great for recording a vocal using the preamp with a touch of compression and EQ.

Exceptions can be made
I am a loyal SSL user. 99% of my workflow is SSL complete plugins and a UF8 console. However, there are two plugin bundles that will have a place in every mix for the rest of my days: Pultec EQs and the LA-2A compressor. I'm saving to buy analog modules of both.

Excellent VST's
This is a great range of plugins at a fantastic price. Iv only just started using them but they all a great addition to my plugin collection

An analog touch
In the midst of so many algorithms, nothing better than returning that soft color of the tape to our tracks. Very good work!

Disappointing buying experience
With a friend I was discussing what made Motown so special, he believes the musicianship. I believe the sound (it's both of course, but not one without the other). To prove my point I try to make a song sounding like Motown and as a hobbyist this plugin ((partly) essential Motown) on offer was within my budget (€31). However, hours after buying and installing it I saw UAD also had on offer a five plugin bundle, including this one, as wel as a.o. the praised Space Echo and Pultec emulation, for €59. I would have preferred that, but I was too late, I already had installed my purchase. I should have done an extended search. Let me be clear, I understand offers are valid for a limited time, but these two were valid, and still are, for the same period. Complicating factor is that UAD mails me, a Windows user with the EMT140 offer, that only works on Apollo. And this one, although being an EMT140 emulation does not have the name in it. I already had to do some searching to figure things out. It's hard to keep an overview. The name is confusing. All this keeps from being satisfied with my purchase. I could have been better off.

Really Good Plug-In
Sweet sounding plug-in. Sometimes a part needs a little extra something. This can make it just sound better.
B. Rucker
Really nice reverb
The plug in is good,but for me not what I was looking for as far as using it on a snare drum,not enough selection for me.

A warm blanket for your music with the precious Pultec
Just running a signal through the Pultec EQP-1A, without turning any knob, already can give my music a desired character. I love putting this on my sampled strings, for warmth and a little more energy. It also makes instruments or aux signals sound more lively, coming out of the speakers just a little more (not volume wise). The knobs do react very smooth, blending the sound in, hard to go wrong with this one. And also love the GUI's simple appearance, it keeps you focused on the jmusic. Glad UAD has these big time sales regularly where these amazing plugins are so reachable.

Recording Godsend
I just bought this last week on sale and I’m wearing it out already. I use it more for recording than mixing because the DSP is reasonable and I can get basic EQ, saturation and compression color going into Unison so that, during mixing, the “fancy” inserts don’t have to do the heavy lifting and can be utilized for flavor. The plug-in has a warm, tube-like sound and it’s super easy to use. Highly recommended! .

I wish I had this collection years ago.
The Teletronix LA-2A Collection has become my go-to for compression. They are super simple to use and they sound great.
It can be easy to go down the rabbit hole of trying to find the best software compressor - I've tried quite a few. And, while many of them are decent, I almost always end up using a Teletronix LA-2A. They just work.

Get the EP-34 before going for this tape echo!
Ok, don't get me wrong, this is a cool tape delay! If you had never used the EP-34 you would love it! But, the EP-34 IMHO is just WAY cooler sounding. Wait for a big sale on this one to add it to your plugin library! It has its own flavor that can add in certain situations!
T. Godoy
