Next level
Absolutely awesome - the 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection reach the next level ! Highly recommended!

Superb compression
I love the LA-2A's. They sound amazing on vocals and horns, and one of my favorite things to do is run the Silver and Grey models in series for extra color and even more gourmet leveling possibilities!

Pultec Passive EQ Collection
I'm finding these plugins to work very well. It's easy to dial in tonality. I now use them on almost everything. Bass, acoustic and electric guitars and even drum sounds benefit form this fabulous modeling. Highly recommended.

like it
great. better than the first generation. I know its not true to the hardware having a bypass / output volume control but this makes it much more functional and quick to A/B (EQP-1A). The Low boost and Attenuation seem to have a smoother effect through their range as well. 90% of the time I use the EQP-1A though the MEQ-5 and HLF-3C are sweet sounding as well. Presets actually very useful to learn some new tricks.

super!
Had the legacy version since the early days of the UAD, but this revamped version sounds a lot clearer and more open.. No Brainer!

"My Go-To" Vocal Compressor
Previously using Logic Pro 9 native plugs to compress my vocals, I would often have to work very hard to employ serial or parallel compression techniques, fiddling with the settings until I could get my vocal to sound good on its own, let alone within the mix. The LA-2A plug's simple settings and distinct and sought after "coloration" allows me to spend more time focusing mix overall, rather than fussing over the vocals. Use the LA-2A when you need your compression to be "transparent" with a just a little added warmth.

These take the grapes and squash them into the finest wine.

LA-2A Collection
Love these!!! Especially the LA-2 and the warmth you get just by putting it in the chain.

EQ as it Should Sound
Like the original hardware, it is very difficult to get a bad sound out of these no matter how much boosting or cutting you seem to be doing. Between the EQP-1a and the MEQ-5 you can cover a surprising amount of ground. Even given the limited frequency notches, I don't find myself wishing I had more selections. Aside from how well these modules do as an EQ, the vibe you get from just putting this in your signal chain is great. Super rich and fat. Whether I'm using any EQ or not, the EQP-1 or the MEQ-5 will always be on my master buss just for the warmth.

1176 learning curve
Very excited to receive the 1176 collection. Certain UA plugs are routine players in mixes. It's always fun to put audio through them and hear for the first time how they react. They each have a character, a color and an instrument/voice they works best on. I'm still trying to figure that out.
F. Mendoza
Oh Yeah!
This Eq is so pleasing to my ears. For color I used it for mastering for the first time ever and I was just blown away. Oh Yeah! :-)
R. Sheridan
Ua do it again!
I was seriously considering buying a 500 series pultec style eq.
Until I heard the pultec collection at work. The legacy model is fantastic I agree, but the collection has everything you need in eq plug ins! It's character too is undeniable. Great plugs, great sound I'm sold!
Would be as well selling all my hardware and other plugins the way ua is making these!

More subtle than the 1st version
Great EQ!!! I use it on most projects-not all! This and the original version of the plug definitely have a "thing" gong on in the high mids. More subtle and refined on the new version though!
There's a cool thing that this does on a buss that almost gives the illusion of doing something really cool to the stereo field, which it isn't messing that up at all. If you have a mix that is kinda meh sounding throw this on and check it out, you literally don't have to set anything. Just running it in the signal path will color it in a cool way!
Should have been a free upgrade though!

My Go To Compressor
I love this emulation! It gets more use than any other compressor I have. Absolutely stellar!!!!!! Should it get a 5 star review, yes! Should it also be a free upgrade to users of the old version, YES! Minus one star!
Used it on the front end to squash a picked bass track and add some grit-stunning! Used it for subtle compression on acoustic guitar, great! Beautiful job on this!
M. Smith
Good, not great
This is a really good upgrade to the UAD 1 version. I find myself using it less often though. I can't tell if it's the love affair I'm having with the newer 1176 revision or I'm just not that bowled over by this one!
On vocals and acoustic guitar (if I want "that" sound) it's really good, but when I need gooey color I'll find myself using the new Fairchild more often.
I also think all these "revisions" should have been free for the users that actually bought the original version (maybe not the folks who got it for free though?)! Considering this is my 3rd UAD device (2 previous ones discontinued), I've invested quite a bit into the company! Funny they decided to give 1/2 of the 610 plug for free to Apollo users. Kinda weird!

workhorse
these compressors are powerful shaping Tools, I can get up to 5-7db of reduction before it breaks apart - thats alot for a software compressor.

A tool that does what it shoud do
Sure everybody wants a Pultec style eq? Well for what reason? In my opinion it all about size, what a real tube amp could bring to the table!
We all trie to make the loudest and fatest mixes and there is plenty of ways to get there. But to strap a pair of pultecs on the drumbus or on the mixbus has it's very own way of adding a third dimension, fuller bas and a airy top.
Now with some of the harmonic content emulated its finally possible to use this sort of tool very early on in the mix and save the real deal for the masterbus. Also makes the recall part more speedy as you only has to patch up your analoug masterbus chain.

Great Compression
Just like the real thing. I haven't had the opportunity to A/B the real thing against these emulations in one sitting, however, these plugins sonically please my ears just as much as the 1176 Rev A and E do. I'm a big fan of these plugins and use them in so many of my mixes. If you own the 1176 from the Analog Classics Legacy bundle and are thinking that you are set as far as 1176 style compression goes, you need to pick up this bundle. I'm not much of an advocate of plugins over using hardware, but how many of us can really afford to go out and drop several grand on a few 1176s that might have the sound we're looking for. An affordable alternative that go far above and beyond the 1176 that comes in your AC bundle. Give it a try.
J. Braun
Stunning!
Well worth the price of admission. All of the revisions have their own unique set of characteristics. Great purchase!
