Wish it worked on DSP

I'm writing my second review. As I'm using this plugin, I'm loving it more and more, and was wondering why UA didn't make a DSP Version of it. I'm desperately seeking it.

Sounds as good as the pedal

Congratulations. Best Deluxe Reverb emulation in the market.

Perfect hybrid.

One of the first plugins I've put on my drums and thought, "I don't wanna be without this." Can get really close to an 1176, but can get really slow and punchy. Awesome on kicks and snares.

Worth the wait for Native

Having 14 DSP’s in total spread across an Apollo and two Satellites I was still limited to a relatively small number of instances that I could run - not anymore, on my M1 Max Mac Studio, I’ve literally put the native plugin on every audio channel in Pro Tools (at least 16 instances) and along with the other UAD Native plugins I’ll have in the session (Distressor, LA-2A, 1176, EMT140, Sunset Studio and more) I’m still only hitting around 65% CPU.
Prior to the native versions, I had to compromise - and it is a compromise - by using other vendors emulations which quite frankly don’t compare (not naming names, but one of them does charge for an update plan which you can choose not to take up, but you wonder sometimes what are you getting for your money).
Ok, let’s address the elephant in the room - existing DSP owners of the original plugin.

I was expecting this to appear in my UA Connect itinerary as with previous plugins , but adding in external sidechain functionality is not a simple case of adding a button to the UI, so $9.99 is a small price to pay for a feature that works flawlessly.
Bottom line, and this is what it boils down to, it is hands down the best sounding SSL emulation I’ve used, and having an Apollo also allows you to record using the preamps.

Ampex tape machine

I've got a few tape emulations this one adds the magic I like , I'm not a pro audio engineer but this seems to add the weight and depth that people rave about,makes my mixes sound better which is good enough for me.

not great

gain stage is a mess, sound is brittle, not a lot of settings (if the sound was great, wouldn't need but...) and no DSP. When compared to other native brands on pricing/features/sound, I can only give it one star.

very good!!!

finally in the native version, although I have a UAD card, but in native mode it's super, less load on the card. 10 dollars is not a pity

Super versatile

This plug-in is super versatile and works on everything including mastering. We use it on almost everything we record. It’s really the only compressor you need if you only want one! An absolute must for anyone recording at home.

Good for beginners

For beginners, I would give this four stars because it’s everything they need to get a decent sounding vocal. but for intermediate to advanced producers, it leaves a lot to be desired. For starters the deesser is weak. This is so strange because you would think Universal Audio would have the best Deeser around given their access to all of the deesser technology from their plug-ins. The other modules are good for the most part, although the EQ section is very restrictive, as it is in all types of plug-ins like this. For the life of me, I don’t understand it. Free the EQ! I’ll tell you what would be truly awesome. if UAD made a plug-in like this as a studio rack like waves has and each module was one of their emulation
plug-ins. That would be truly awesome. Anyway, I also cannot give this five stars given the price point. This is a $50 plug-in. I don’t know how they are coming up with $200, let alone $400. But evidently, they are targeting a certain audience. overall, it’s a decent product for beginners albeit overpriced

Almost

Beautiful interface. But the gain staging is a mess. No dB value indicator on the in/out faders. The amp itself goes straight from thin (1-3 on the volume knob) to dirty on anything above that. You can get it cleaner by turning down the input volume but then the Out volume at max is still too low (this is all following the UAD recommended settings of no gain on the Apollo input channel, and plugin Input set to Hi-Z). Overall the sound is good but thin and brittle if you're using single coil (audible in the demo video). Does not have the warmth and bass definition of the real thing. Hopefully updates will address some of this.

Wonderful chimey tones!

Already have the Ruby '63 pedal and the ability to have those exact sounds from a plugin were too hard to resist. In my opinion Ruby '63 has more life and feel to the sound than any other competitor Vox style amp sim I've tried, hardware or software... The buy 3 deal made Lion & Dream plugins a solid option too and both are equally excellent. I hope the Woodrow '55 comes soon, as that's now the missing piece in my DAW

OMG!! BY FAR THE BEST VOCAL PLUGIN I'VE EVER TRIED!!

i have tried many vocal plugins in my time and always wanted to buy the Avalon VT-737 Hardware but too pricey. I have never been so please with this plugin and best part are the preset for vocal in tracking and after recording. Love it!!
