A Workhorse
I cannot say enough good things about this emulation of the API Vision strip. For the price you cannot go wrong with all that it has to offer.
I especially recommend the comp and eq for anything guitar!

Excellent Emulation
Having used the original back in the 80's I must say that this plug-in captures the bright-crispy sound of the original very closely! My first test was to recreate that classic 80's snare verb with the gated effect and it did not disappoint.
This is a great "go to" reverb and a must for rock snare and piano. Great job all around and I would recommend to all.

This is the must-have channel strip.
I've always considered plugins to be convenient but not as natural as outboard gear. This plugin changes everything. If I'm going with gentle eq and compression, I have no worries about pushing this plugin to the DAW track as it's recorded. It sounds absolutely incredible on drums on vocals. I have yet to try it on guitar but I expect great results there too. Zero disappointment and, if you had to buy only one UAD plugin, this is it.

1176: The essential compressor
I just had to take a moment to say how great the UA 1176 compressor collection is. As soon as I tried the demo, I was hooked and bought it the same day. The UA 1176 adds character and loudness without making things sound compressed, and it's become part of my go to vocal chain along with the LA-2A. Just a touch of the 1176 to catch the peaks, and the LA-2A to even things out and add a glow, and you're golden! Superb!

LA-2A collection review
I've been using the LA2A collection for nearly a year now I believe and have really implemented it as part of my main dynamic control tools.
Favorite applications:
1. Leave vocals - 1176 with slow attack, fast release followed by the LA2A grey getting about 2-3 db of compression on the high spots.
2. Drum Overheads - tames harsh cymbals and pulls everything in together.
3. Bass - Typically with bass, Ill stack the LA2A first and get maybe 2-3 db on the high spots, then add another compressor (often 1176) behind the LA2A to give a slightly more constant compression.
I typically prefer the Grey and Silver models, but each has its own vibe Also really love the emphasis control. This is a MUST when used on vocals.
Loving these comps

Lexicon 225 review
I'm positive there are many more out there that have mastered this reverb way more than I, however this is one of those plugins where no matter how you have any setting, it still sounds good.
I think this is probably one of the most realistic verbs Ive used. On drums, if you set the Lex for a plate or a medium-large room size sound, it's just amazing. The high end shimmer is soft and not harsh, the low end isn't muddy and woofy like some.
This one definitely take a little work to get the hang of, but start off with presets and adjust from there and youll have a great sound in no time.

Amazing sound and value, buy this!
As soon as I tried out the LA-2A collection demo, I had to have it. It really sweetens every vocal I've tried it on, and having three LA-2A's to pick from depending on the sound I'm looking for is just incredible. Combine this with the 1176 collection and your vocal chain will sound first class. I can't believe that I now have the sound of this legendary hardware in my DAW for this kind of money.

80's goodness :) Cant get enough of this plug! but beware its a hungry one!

Tubey
If tubey is a word, then that Studer describes it. I picked this over the ATR, not sure why but it just felt better. I've tried out the ATR and I did get it, but I still prefer this better.

Warm it up
This plugin is incredibly cool on guitar tracks - fuzzing it out is what I'm after and found such a great tone when doing that!

Hello
I am very happy that I can simulate a recording studio in the early years with UAD. In addition your great product maintenance. Very beautiful is in your instructions, which will once explained the history of the equipment. This is music history!
This feedback is representative of all purchased products from me.
Music history for me and many other bands like Cliff Richard & the Shadows.
I would very much appreciate it if you would a real Vox Amp (Ac 15/30) model. It would be very nice fit to the echoes of Maestro and Roland.
Best Regards

Psychedelic Reverb!
For sure this is an Outstanding plug-in that you'll ever hear! Great for Alternative, reggae, dub and no matter what. It is gorgeous, smooth, clear and deep.
One of the top reverbs, personally I haven't work yet with the real lexicon 224 but i'm really in to all UAD plug ins because of there great experience and dedication to creat top quality equipments such as emulating the big guy's tools.
I hope they could do some discounts for college students cause they are little $$$ expensive.

Unbelievable
This is an expensive plugin, but it's really worth it. The hardware would cost you a fortune an this sounds unbelievable. Alongside the EMT140 plate, this is my favourite reverb. I'm using at my mate's studio as a reverb unit on his analog desk and he can't believe the sound. With the Apollo interface and the console app it works with no noticable latency. Amazing.
P. Macino
Fantastic
Works like an instrument and becomes part of the mix. I've tried other LA-2A Clones and Similar Plugs, and this collection, particularly "The Silver" has become a go to and in every mix.

API Vision Chanel Strip ...
For me the sound is amazing. It is warm and punchy but also helps to have a crisp sound in various applications. Great tool ...

Another choir boy...
This plugin collection hardly needs another glowing review to convince potential buyers at this point. That being said I am very pleased.

Musical compressors
I'm really happy with these compressors, they are very musical. The AE version is a nice bonus with its 2:1 ratio setting for a more subtle character.
Well done UA!
M. Payne
actually flexible
Between the 3, you have a lot of options. If you want to keep it fast, keep the gain reduction low.
You can also use LA3A beforehand it it gets pushed back too far.
