My favorite on bass
Love it on my synth bass. Like it when things are made easy to setup .
R. Osborne
Great for DI tracks
Even though I love the Apollo pres, I've never felt like they got my DI bass or guitar tracks (even with the UAD amp sims, which are AMAZING) to sound how I thought they should sound. This plugin gets them there. Simple, beautiful-sounding plugin.

Just... Wow...
Honestly, I know this sounds a bit over-enthusiastic, but this collection is THE TOOL for bringing clarity, feeling and depth to mixes. I now have the EQP-1a as the last plugin on every channel in my mix sessions - it just gives that final sparkle with the high filter and tightness with the low. It's amazing for bringing out the best in acoustic instruments; makes drums feel 'real'; adds some well needed character to synths, VSTis and samples; and if you put it on your master bus you'll be asking your mastering engineer for a discount.
If I could start over, I'd have bought this selection with my first UAD device. It's an essential tool.

Pure Plate reverb
one of the best reverb plate for the price, hands down and light on DSP.

Simple Plate reverb that's light on the DSP
Great little plate reverb that I really value when I am using my Arrow. It sounds great and light on the DSP.

K. Lee
Very good!!!
I always love UA so much
N. Rang
A little confused by its use.. as a beginner
The hardware controls can be a bit confusing at first, but a very powerful tool that consumes a small % of DSP

1/2 combo with 1176
Boooom!

Classic must-have
What's not to love about these? Sonically pleasing, and have been used on nearly everything. Easy to use and to achieve great results!

Gentle giant
Very capable EQ and not too harsh. Takes a bit to learn, but read the manual or watch some videos- it's totally worth it!
Y. Baribeau
Classic of the classics
This baby right here is a treat for the hear. Tube Equalizer...... do I need to say more?
A. Thomas
Great delay. Interesting vibe verb. Pre-delay would be an awesome addition
I like this tape delay and especially the 3 different tape options, though I usually use “new”. It sounds different than the other tape delay and the cooper time cube, a more useable delay for most things imo - guitar, voice, keys, bgs. The verb on bgs is really cool too.

That RCA Studio B Sound
If you need something a little warmer and bigger than the EMT140, this is a step in that direction. I probably overuse this in my own recordings which speaks to both my lack of talent and this plugins ability to make just about everything sound better. I’ve always admired the Chet Atkins / Elvis / Roy Orbison reverb sound that RCA had back in the 60’s and 70’s. I’ve been in that studio a number of times. I once asked one of the engineers to show me the reverb. He said, “It’s just a plate and a mic stuck up above the ceiling.” Pure Plate!
H. Holzheu
One of the best EQ plugins
It sounds great on everything.
Y. Baribeau
One of the best I own
There is a "special feature" with that one (I’ll keep the secret, sorry) that makes it one of the most used plug-ins of my UAD collection. Thanks A LOT.
C. Campagna
The best tube compressor emulation out there
This plug-in is what made me convert my studio to an all Apollo setup!! I use the LA-2A on all my sessions. It just makes your tracks shine, Use on a solo vocal track, drum stereo buss or master mix buss... it will add punch and focus with enhanced fidelity. The Grey version is my goto every time I deliver a mix.

Perfect for a Modern Bass DI Sound
I was revisiting this to find a clean, modern bass DI preamp and I think it edges out the 610-B and Manley VoxBox for that clean sound. If you want thump, grab the 1084 for bass.
