One of the best UA plugs
Combine this with LA-2A on a drum bus and you're in heaven---you don't need the hardware. You need this. Top 5 UA plugs. Lot's of options, from subtle to squashing. I know some mixing engineers who have a uad card just for this. Good CPU to performance ratio, doesn't cash your system like the also awesome 1073 and Ampex plugs.

This enhances the vocals like no other
The LA-2A collection is pure magic. Simply adjust the 'Peak Reduction' and the 'Makeup gain' and you will obtain the best sound as posible in your vocal chain. This is the ultimate effect for the main role actor in your mix. It brings a brilliant, present sound, but natural, silky and well-defined. When you try it on main solo (vocal or instrument) you won't ever ask for more.
The perfect chain for vocal: Pultec--_Cambridge EQ --_LA-2A--_EMT 140 plate. These four effects rise the vocals to AAA result without any shadow of doubt. And if you add the Studer A800 at the beginning, the magic is done even more.

The best compressor
This collection of compressors works incredible with basses, bassdrums, snares or any percussive instrument. You won't find any device which treats the sound better than this. The musical character and the smooth and silky finish will amaze you. On the other hand, you will receive a punchy sound: solid and present. Highly recommended.

A MUST
This piece of gear must be present in every channel/bus/mix.
The simple act of inserting a pultec with flat settings enhances the sound whatever it be. Nevertheless, if you tweak any parameter, the result is still musical and warm for every sound. I have used it on almost all instruments (vocals, pianos, guitars, drum elements, synths...) and the result is always AAA. Highly recommended.

supérieur à la legacy
Définitivement un degrès très supérieur à la version legacy.

PULTEC PERFECTION!!!
In my opinion it should be the first set of UA plugs you buy,(then the LA-2 and 1176 collections)...What the UA Pultec does different than other "emulations" is that (like the original)just running audio through it gives a bit of a "lift" to the track...I used to use the Waves versions but not any more..This is solid, dead on, and I use it on literally everything. It's 100% chock full of "tone and vibe"...and worth every cent...and in my experience is about as close to the "original" as can or will ever be had...BUY IT NOW!

as real as it can get!
I'd rather put it simply : this may be not the real thing but the damn closed next thing to the real thing!
I use it all the time for voice, guitars, bass, anything really...
I couldn't thank you enough....
:-D

More dimensions and flexibility
I didn't think it would be that great a difference. The collection gives a lot more flexibility and it sounds massively wider. The plugin flattens the dynamic while adding dimension. Impressive. The saturation (no attack) modes are great as well fit coloring. Overall a must buy.

Very analog
Man... I used to think the Legacy LA2A was great, but this is a whole different thing. These sound pretty damn analog to me. Love them!
M. Romanov
Very cool compressors
Each version of LA-2A has its own sound. Very good for vocal. Excellent value!

A great up upgrade to a very good plugin.
I do Audio Post Production for the film and television industry. I liked using the original LA-2A from the Analog Classics bundle on Dialogue tracks just to smooth everything out. I tried out this upgrade and fell in love with the original LA-2. I love the slow attack, it's very transparent, adds great character and warmth that I didn't get with the original Analog Classics version. Sometimes, when composing music I like the use the LA-2 just for the gain knob on synths and samples. I love the character and the smoothness. This is a great upgrade.

Makes a classic more versatile
An improved model of the harmonic character of a studio classic. The different versions offer different time constants for a bit of fine tuning for any particular source.
The emphasis screw is a great addition to tailoring the plugin to a stubborn sound.
I actually like the smaller GUI from the legacy versions, since they take up less screen space and there's just no need to have them be this big; it's not like it's actual hardware that needs room for transformers and tubes. but that's not a big deal.

Making drum racks has never been so much fun. Show no mercy on those snares !

What they say is true
It really is true, these are so nice on vocals and acoustic instruments. It's crazy how just putting them in a channel instantly makes stuff sound better. Great work UA!

LA2A works
I have two hardware La2a's, I can't tell the difference between the software and hardware; they both sound fantastic at all times on the appropriate instrument/voice. My only complaint....I love to feel the real thing, virtual knobs are not very exciting, I suspect that's just an old man thing!!!! The same review applies to the 1176 software I purchased at the same time.

One of the Greats
The LA-2A collection is a great addition to my arsenal. What a fabulous tool for vocals. Not to mention, the LA-2A is one of my go-to's when I'm looking to add a little character and snap to a rock snare drum. I cannot say anything too terrible about the 1176 collection, as it's one of my favorite collections as well, but the LA-2A set gives it a run for its money... And for the money, this is a killer plugin series and a must have!
