Great sound & character!
Great sound and character, for classic tape slap or crazy fx. Also nice to overdrive the input

It's good not great
I LOVE a good delay and the more words it gets the more I love it. I'm all fairness, in part I am reviewing the unit itself as well as UAD profile of the unit.
As far as the unit itself (software), it's limiting. There aren't as many tonal options as I had hoped for. THIS HAS NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH UAD , But I felt important to share that point. I have used a Binson in the past, so I know what it is supposed to sound like and given that I will say that UAD did a great job with emulating it.
I do wish UAD would add functionalities that are not available on the original units. This goes for any plugin. They are great for one-to-one recreations. Maybe the best at doing that! It would be nice to have more options such as longer delays morphing etc.
This is just me, I don't speak for everyone I realize that.
I personally felt it important to point out.
With that said another great creation by UAD!

My New Go-To
This has easily become one of my most-used compressors for non-percussive instruments and vocals. The attack sounds much quicker to me when compared with hardware units I’ve used in the past, but it’s faster onset is part of why I love it so much (the simple interface is huge for me). It’s very musical and easy to find the sweet spot, and you can push it without having things fall apart. It’s also fairly DSP efficient. Would totally recommend to anyone in any genre.

Just bought my Apollo interface so I can’t comment . But all I can say is that UAD products are so good

Do you really need more tape echo simulations? Just one more :)
Especially when using with guitars, tape echoes add this special sauce, some kind of magic to your guitar tracks. And as you can hear it while you're playing it, it gives you so much inspiration. Combined with the really smooth sound of this device, it is hard not to love this plug in. It comes in both DSP and Native versions so you can use it in real time while monitoring and also give it some final tweaks in the mixing stage. Highly recommended.

Good.....but could be better
The Studio Chorus D sounds good, width, depth etc are acceptable but I feel UA could of done better, especially compared to the competition from Arturia which sounds much wider, fuller and gives alot more flexibility. I hold UA in high esteem in the software market, so hopefully they can take this as a challenge, make a revision of the dimension d and elevate this product beyond its competitors reach! Overall good job, but room for improvement!

average-
sound quality: nothing to write home about
features: lacking DSP version when it should be a must to track your guitar
price: discounted, ok. full price, too expensive.
overall impression: average-
might change my review to 3 stars if they add real time tracking with DSP.

Sounds great - GUI needs work
Having used the Lexicon 22XL back in the 1980's and 1990's I can say that the sound of the UADx 224 plugin is so close I am no sure that there are very many people that could tell the difference between the plugin and a hardware unit. So very good job on getting the sonic characteristics right.
In my DAW I had been using three different reverb plugin to get the sound I was looking for so often. I bought the Universal Audio 224 plugin, and opened my current project and the 224 plugin replaced the other 3 reverbs. No Problem, the sound is superb.
However I have been unable to get the GUI to work properly, I get the Left half of the GUI and the right half is missing, simply not showing up at all. So to access all the parameters I have to drop to a generic mode and type in the settings I want to use. It works, but more time consuming. I have been going back and forth with Universal Audio Tech Support (nice folks there) and have tried everything they recommended and still the issue persists.
I am running an Windows 10 machine and an AMD platform. But the issue exists in Studio One, Reaper, Ableton Live, and Harrison Mixbus32C which is my primary DAW for mixdowns. So I can't blame the DAW. Tried the Windows setting but that also had no affect. So to date the problem remains unresolved.
That said, the sound is worth it.

Simple and effective
when I bought this plugin I didn't imagine that I would use it so much. Super useful to add depth, dimension to any source.
For me is amazing using it in a subtle way, so I need to put it in auxiliary send track because it doesn’t have a mix knob. That’s why I’m only giving it 4 stars.

Good sound
Use it for analog widening.
And to give a sense of room without a reverb plugin.

Waterfall Rotary Speaker Usury
I was shocked and disappointed to see that the Waterfall B3 emulation I bought 3 months ago has been divided up and the rotary section, which looks identical to my Waterfall B3 version , is now being sold as a separate plugin.
OK but I wrote to UAD when I first got the VI stating that it was a great instrument but could they include a direct input to the rotary speaker, bypassing the organ in the next upgrade
I received no word back for the frankly, inspired, suggestion and was disappointed to see that if I want the Waterfall rotary effect, as a stand alone, I would have to purchase it again as a separate plugin.
Frankly, this idea sucks... big time. UAD are presently a huge disappointment to end users who, in good faith, makes worthy suggestions only to be shafted.

Not perfect but very good
Easy to install and get a good sound, very configurable etc. For me at least however (and at least one other reviewer I can see) the speed control/mod wheel link doesn't seem to work with my controller.

Unstable on Logic in low latency mode/latch mode
Sounds pretty good but the main thing i want to use it for is creative feedback riding, where you slow the delay time down and automate it.
Unfortunately in Ventura on Logic (and for a few years) Galaxy Tape Echo constantly crashes and resets if you move any paramaters in low latency mode. Just stutters and stops, or makes clicks and pops.
Universal Audio support have been less than helpful with support issues in the past too.
