Very successful and useful plugin!
Similar to Ocean Studios, a very successful replica of the spatial reflections. I can't judge whether the original room acoustics are actually displayed accurately. But the spatiality that can be created, assuming a space that is as acoustically neutral as possible during the recording, is impressive and melodious. The effect can be adjusted quite precisely via the various parameters.

Real as the real thing
I have worked with many tape emulations from different manufacturers and was happy...
Now, I have this emulation of the A800, it's like I've been playing with toys and this really does the job. It's not that you're never 100% sure of the effect the tool produces on the sound, with a trade-off between texture/warmth and sharpness, no. You can clearly hear how the texture improves, without smearing or making things more dirty, it's magical.
This simply makes rivals obsolete.

Great Channel Strip Plugin
It's one of the greatest channel strip plugins I've ever owns.

Use it for Voice Over!
By far the best compressor/limiter for Voice Over and Audio Book Production! Smooths out those digital nasties in this type of audio work. Adds a soft fidelity to spoken word, as a trick, use it with no compression, just going through the circuits and tubes, adds an beautiful ambient halo of sorts.......

Unworkable unit with Zero support from Universal!!
I purchased this Chorus. And yet I am unable to use it as it won’t work!! It shows up in my plugins as purchase but won’t work. Now that’s bad enough, but just try to get in touch with a live human being for help. You won’t get help rather they will refer you to multiple articles for you to read to try to figure the problem out yourself. Think of it suppose you bought a car that wouldn’t run and Unbelievable inadequate and poor Customer Service!!!!

these work well on rhythm tracks.

Ampex® ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder
Absolutely the best. The analog warm will truly take your mixes and your masters to the next level. Thank you, UAD.

Great sound, beware fatal flaws:
The synth sounds great and is highly intuitive. I wish it had a HPF but otherwise it's great. Two major flaws, particularly for live use:
1. You have to license this via a physical iLok or have an internet connection. Ridiculous! It will not work otherwise, rendering it too risky if not completely useless for live applications. Please please UA, allow it to be licensed to the physical computer like just about every other plugin I use with iLok manager.
2. MIDI CCs are hard-coded into the plugin, so if you build a sound you're proud of, don't wiggle any knobs on any gear you have plugged in, because it can easily be ruined. Again, the risk here for live is insane. I had to use a Max4Live plugin to block all CCs to avoid ruining my sounds on the gig. Now I have to go rebuild them in a different VST having learned this...
So sadly it's just not all that useful unless you're super careful to print your sounds or turn off monitoring on the track.

Lexicon Perfect Verb
studying and working with many Lexicon emulations, this is definitely the best

Turn your sound around
I used a real lesley in a number of productions many years ago, it’s great to have this level of realism in a plug-in version !

Smooth sailing
Smooth sailing the waves is guaranteed with this wavetable morphing synthesizer, recommended !

Great
It sounds amazing

Mindblowingly amazing
This is one of the best plugins UAD has ever made. No less than that. When I checked it out for the first time I immediately remembered the great Bruce Sweden, who said the words that disappointed so many of us: Reverbs will never be able to give you the real early reflections that come from a real room. But it is true! And he added, that he uses reverb with long pre delays only to preserve the room reflections recorded with the signal. But where to get room reflections from a good room when you do not have one? This is where this plug in comes in. It can really add to the recording what a reverb will never be able to do.
Thanks to UAD. This plugin has just been a pure joy so far.

Warm And Lush Sound
Open the track aux and put Lexion on it and turn off the noise switch and that's it. Enjoy its warm and deep sound
J. Romero
Very versatile
I've read that it's the best emulation of an API 2500. I don't know, I just know that I love its versatility; And especially the punch he gives to the drums.

Analog Warmth
I haven't experienced using the real hardware, but this plugin really gives the exact taste of what I want. So warm and smooth.
B. Baldwin
Interesting
Slightly odd layout, i appreciate the tone of this plugin so much though.

Wrap around and dark
Aside from the beautiful lush sounds and spaces this gives, the way it wraps around a sound is amazing. I've compared this to a number of other reverbs and this just ads that dark tone, or the right amount of space to a sound. Not too thin, not too bright. Even on pads in electric music that way it enhances a sound and creates more depth and space.

Not showing up, compounded by horrible UAD customer service
I own a LOT of UAD plugs. I bought this one on a whim, thinking that since it was Native it would now be usable outside of LUNA. If it is supposed to be usable that way, it's not showing up in my DAW. When I tried to get in contact with customer support to get some clarity on the issue and get a refund, all I got was a bot that sent me in circles forever. It used to be that when you had a problem with UAD hardware and software you could get actual people who would try to help you. Clearly that is not the case any more. If this is the future of UAD, I regret how much of my money I've given them in the past.

A must have!
