Very natural sound
A lot of pianos have excessive reverb giving a false sense of nice but the ravel is quite natural sounding and the tones are great. I haven’t seen a preset saying 80’s reggae yet So that’s something to look forward to in a piano preset menu.

It does what it's supposed to do!
Another vendor gave me this plugin for free, but it was not good. I can always count on UA to produce a nice plugin! And I got it at great price with a UA coupon!

Changed Everything
Before purchasing this, I had only ever used stock compressors, and even then, I had only used them sparingly, as I had never noticed any significant effect apart from limiting. That all changed when I decided to take a chance on this plug-in and see why I had seen "1176" in just about every mixing discussion I'd ever heard or read. The very moment I hit play after throwing this on a vocal track, my entire perspective on compressors changed. The grit and presence I'd been hearing for years on countless records instantly revealed itself to me, and I was floored--absolutely beautiful tone. I have since gone on a deep dive into compressors and eq's, realizing what I had been missing out on for far too long.
I love this tone on my vocals; it fattens up my kick drum; pulls the grinding body of a cello to the forefront; brightens or delightfully swamps up a banjo; and with some more experimental instrumentation, it grabs onto sounds and noises you thought were lost in the recording and throws them back into the mix in a big, haunting way. I absolutely love this set of plugins; it literally made me a better producer by showing me why people call compressors "tone boxes," as the 1176 is all tone, color, and character.

Great...!!!
If you want to shape your sound character, Pultec EQ Style is one of the best choices... Love it so much!!

Very excellent..
I use it for vocals and acoustic guitar... And I'm sure it can also be used for various other instrument purposes... Love it.!!!

It is, what it is, and that is great
Some say, this is not "modern" sounding. Some say, this is not drastic enough. Some say, this is not ....whatever.
My Ears tell me, this is a great Reverb. Once, you learn, how to use it, it makes your instruments shine and breathe, as if they were recorded in well....Capitol CIty ;-)

Very useful plugin
It’s a powerful tool for mixing and sound enhance. Bass and drums get more clarity and air. It’s brilliant to me

Huge !
I use Distressor on almost every track. It's bigger, precise and bring warmth.

Amazing! Now do Wally Heider's.
This is an exquisite plug in, and the explainer video is one of the best I've seen, revealing all the esoteric engineer tips and tricks. Absolutely transformational to a mix I'm working on now. Did anyone dream 20 years ago that we'd be 'recording' in places like this... um, yeah. I guess someone did. As a Bay Area native, I'd love to have you guys do Wally Heider's (now Hyde Street Studios) if you could close that deal. The room sounds on CSNY's Deja Vu album makes me weak in the knees. Same sound signature on lots of my fave records. Carry on, yall.

Sounds Just Like My Hardware UA-6176
I was iffy at first but man oh man this thing is the truth. I did A/B vs the hardware and this plugin is the truth. thank you UA now I can get the same sound without having to bring my hardware with me . this is a game changer for me

Sounds Good
This plugin sounds good, is easy to use, and is indeed usable. I am not going to give it a neck in neck comparison with the real hardware because I don't have enough experience with the real hardware. My only complaint, that during a session that goes for much more than an hour, the recorded tracks start doing random strange things (strange random notes and settings...I am using Cubase) and you either have to mute the track or reload the project that you are working on...fortunately the random changes don't save.

Magic
The UAD Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder is pure magic! It adds an incredible warmth and depth to my mixes that I just can't get with anything else. Super easy to use and instantly gives that vintage, pro sound. Whether I'm working on a final mix or just adding some tape flavor, this plugin never disappoints. Totally a must-have for anyone serious about their sound!
