Studer on everything
I took the chance (read: put down the not insignificant amount of cash) and bought the Studer/Ampex bundle because I dig the idea of tape saturation although I've never recorded to tape.
Now I've been using it on all tracks in my band's 10 song post-death metal project and I am very happy with it! It helps tie the tracks of each song together for a consistent expression. It gives the snare great fullness, rounds off the harsh edges of the higain guitars and makes the vocals sound just very pleasing. Bass and kick also gets a go, but I'm still learning to avoid adding too much lowend, it seems it adds up fast. Eats DSP but it's fun to do an all-Studer 'first mix' and then bounce the 'Studered' tracks, and go on to round two (eq, comp etc.)

Great Plug in..
Very musical gain and responsive eq section. By far the number 1 pre amp plug I use on guitars and vocals.

First I was cross...
....cause I thought, great, why don't I get an upgrade....
But then I demoed it and I have to say that for the first time,
I really had the impression that a plugin is sounding truly analogue.
Amazing piece of digital craftmanship! Thank you!

Reverb above all others
The depth and character produced by the Lexicon 224 is unrivialed by any other reverb that I have used.

I can't live without it
To be honest? There are outside a lot of native alternatives of classic gear emulations, every day a new better than the others, and native means more portability/less problems, but this astounding plugin is the real reason why I still work with the UAD dsp system.
The real only alternative is a real Studer Tape recorder!
Period.

It worth, but...
This update is better sounding than the legacy Pultec, so I think it worth, although is subtle on extreme bands and settings.
I use this for the voice or the main instrument, then the legacy version for the rest, to spare DSP power.
My big disappointment is that the price for an update (because, basically, this is!) is too expensive for the legacy owners.
So I had to wait for the best combination of promotional voucher and discount period.
Very bad policy from UAD, IMO, for an average of expensive plugins and updates too...

LA-2A WOW
This units are absolutely amazing. Each one has its own character and takes your tracks to a new level. Very rich and detailed sound! Thanks UAD-Team!
C. Wilson
Great sound
These sound great. UA has really nailed the feel and character of the hardware 1176. Love it on guitars, bass, and kick; it shines on nearly everything. Great buy!

Bravo !!!
Cette nouvelle série des LA2a est vraiment différente du legacy.
La finesse des réglages est d’une précision remarquable, le rendu est fidèle.
La consommation DSP reste correcte, et les trois versions proposées sont bien différentes.
J’aime beaucoup la version 1960s pour sont coté legato tempos…
Merci UAD pour cette refonte…Bien vu et apprécié.

L. Pachetti
definitely worth the upgrade!
i have tried these with different instruments and set up and I have to say it is a really big step up from the legacy one , totally sold to it! get it!
J. Hollander
Just awesome
Moved into a small space and had to transition from nearly all hardware to in-the-box. I've been feeling lost in software land, missing the tactile feel of knobs and the whole physical experience. After recently adopting a Twin Duo, I'm feeling inspired again. The 1176 collection makes me feel like I'm getting the analog experience and sound, and takes up no studio space! I'm in love.

Honestly, a must have.
As someone who has used API before, this was a no-brainer for me. As I started to use it, I was surprised at the fact that I use the preamp section the most. It adds that "console magic" that everyone seems to really love these days. It's very smooth, just like its real life counterpart. With the classic sound of the 550L EQs along with the dynamics section, it's a real must have. If you're interested, buy it. If you're only half interested, still buy it.

Best for tracking!
I use this collection all the time for tracking. Everything from vocals to synths and bass. It can be an amazing distortion unit too. I LOVE IT
