1176 Classic Limiter Collection
I love how they work and they sound really really good! Compared to the real stuff you can hardly hear any difference!

An elegant weapon from a more civilised age
Sweet and warm enveloping sound that sits comfortably in the mix. Not as random or clumsy as the modern convolution reverbs. An elegant weapon from a more civilised age.

What a difference
I bought the original LA-2A plug-in, and I was disappointed. What it added to the sound, I didn't want. When they announced the 'new' version, I was skeptical, to say the least. But, as my poor bill-paying wife would warn you, once you try it, you're going to buy it. I've been using the 'gray' version on vocals and bass and OMG…what a difference! While the first version sounded grainy, with a bit of tin—this one is just pure power in a knob. Rock and roll!

Can't live without it.
Through an unfortunate series of events, I recently lost the authorization for my Lexicon 224 and my Ampex ATR-102 plug ins. I was devastated. I have a huge arsenal of plug-ins from nearly every plug in manufacturer—over 40 reverbs—but I was unable to find any 'verb that sounded the same, or as good. I had no choice but to repurchase both plugs. I know this is supposed to recreate some 80's hardware unit, but really, it's the best sounding reverb I own, bar none. It's so smooth, you forget it's on the track. Take it away and you're scrambling to find a suitable replacement. It goes on sale once in a while, and when it does, do yourself a favor and get this plug. The ATR-102 is also great; I'll review it separately.

Smooth, warm & fuzzy
very impressed with the redesign of the 1176 collection over the original UAD1 1176LN....more more accurate replication of the hardware units, especially when driven hard.....overall much smoother & silkier compression, with a great fuzz when pushed hard, especially on the AE model. Big Thumbs up!

Works great on vocals
I'm using the AE version on a dialogue group and it works amazing. 2:1 compression, with slow attack and dialogue is just There, as clear as it can be. It even brings out that hi-middle range so perfectly I don't even use eq for brightening things. Only for cutting the low end and some other frequencies.
Works differently then the old plugin do.
For 99us at the moment this is a really great buy.

Incredible
My go-to for vocals. Impressed with the sound of these plugs. Also sound incredible on bass and drums. UAD really nailed the sound of the original hardware with this collection.

this is the absolute best software reverb i know.
just buy it. it's so responsive yet it will not overload your mixes, it has lots of "Air", also amazing controls, very detailed.
D. Gallant
A good thing just got really, really good!
I wasn't going to get these 'cause I have and use a multitude of different compressors.
Still, I activated the demo... and now use it on every vocal I record.
I'm absolutely thrilled by what this does to the tracks.
Presence is brought up front but doesn't overpower.
Lovely!

Think Again...!
I was like, "I already have the 1176LN for my UAD, love it...They're just trying to sell me something I already have." ..uh, no. The Classics are in a different class, clearer, more musical...really it was an 'Oh Wow" moment for me. After that, it was an easy choice.

Love these.
I love these limiters. I use both vintage UREI and UA 1176s for tracking on a daily basis. These plugins feel and respond like the hardware, and have all of the subtle character differences found amongst the different hardware revisions. I like the Waves CLA76 "Bluey" plugin a lot, but it sounds a little "harder", whereas the UA 1176 collection sounds much smoother and more accurately matches the input/output gain stages of the hardware. I would love to try tracking a vocal through one of these UA 1176 plugins, I have my reservations, but I use the hardware every day, so let's see what's up!! So great to have these in my mix arsenal! Can't wait to get the LA-2 plugins next!

These really add some depth
Great sonics on these plugs. Nice round character to the sound. Really a great improvement over the original LA-2A. These will get a lot of use.

1176 Collection! Yes Please!
I added it to the Guitar Group channel and the guitars came out like wonderful colors hovering in front of me...
sure it takes more DSP but that just makes you use this smarter and more efficiently.
amazing

LA-2A's are INCREDIBLE!
The quality of these new plugins are a drastic improvement to the already incredible previous versions.

A design for music.
This wonderful contraption in it's many transformations gives a beautiful tonality for the hearing man and woman (and sometimes dog). Electronic work of art to form another form of art. Keep doing your good thing.
