Best 1176's !
It just sounds right, I love the bluestripe, all that tight and crisp midrange, really pushing the vocal in a beautiful way!
P. Orr
Amazing!
Within 30 minutes of demo'ing this I took the plunge and made the purchase!
I absolutely love how much character this can add to your sound, I find it works best on group channels and your master. I'd definitely reccomend this to anybody who wants to add more punch and fullness to there tracks.

Teletronix® LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler / Makes my life easier
Definitely, this plugin together with LA2A and 1176 makes my life easier. Easy to use and a very good transparent sound.

A NEW KIND OF MONSTER
I've had the pleasure to work on real Studers and Otaris a few years back and I own a Tascam MS-16 1" tape machine, and both the UAD Studer and ATR plugs, so I guess I have a pretty good perspective on how tape really does sound and what plugins can do in terms of fatness and saturation.
Being a little skeptical as this new plug was released, and owning it's biggest brothers (Studer and ATR) I thought this was just a cheaper version for people not willing to spend the 350 bucks. That was until I demoed it!
Oxide is a completely different beast than its older brothers. It imparts attitude and 3Dness that I love. It's a must for all tape aficionados & saturation seekers. This is not an upgrade/downgrade from other plugs, its something else.

Good buy
The reverb is a great plug in. It's a good option to free up some space in the studio. To me it doesn't have the same depth sonically as the hardware. But, it's honestly a shockingly close replication.

Refreshing quality
It's fresh and inspiring . To my ears it has a more pronounced yet sweet high end compared to the other unison strips . The filters are great and the eq transparent . It is a definite " must have" !

All The Color You Need
This thing can sound good on just about anything with the time constant controls. It adds its warmth and color even if you're just touching the gain reduction. Consequently, its great even for the less aggressive program material. I personally love using it on a drum bus or bass to beef it up a bit. Very versatile compressor with an excellent tone.

Go-To for Vocals
These plugins are my go-to vocal smoothing tools. They can be driven quite hard without any artifacts, just like the hardware units, and they add that little bit of warmth/saturation that grabs a bit of attention and makes the vocal stand out in the mix. Very true to the original hardware and simple to set and use. Sounds great when trying to smooth over a source.

Ridiculously Good Model
These plugins actually capture the excitement and grit of the original hardware unit. The Rev E sounds amazing on drums and vocals. Blows other models out of the water in tone. I've worked with the hardware models, and these are the only plugin models that actually get the tone of the feedback circuit coupling with the attack and release correct. Others are too clean and have to be driven too hard to get anywhere close to the original hardware. Universal Audio nailed it.

Youth and beauty
Ever since my first 'real' studio adventure, in a time far away, in a place called Paradise, I have yearned to hold a lexicon remote control in my hand. That strange white box, reminiscent of an off white storm trooper, boasting an 80's aesthetic that is truly unmistakable and tied to a hidden machine by a rats tail cable that promises a feeling of electricity, has always been an enigma and a holy grail of cavernous and beautiful sound. It can be both delicate and heavy handed, crunchy and sparkling and really can be the go to reverb for any application given the right usage. I'm but a performer and as such could not really hope to own the real thing, but, this software brings me oh so close. Any shortcomings pale in the face of its beauty!

dbx 160 compressor
Sounds like the real thing to me. Simple as that. Simple, quick, easy to use and powerful. I don't use it as much as I used to, but it's great. Period.

A very nice emulation
A very nice emulation that does exactly what it says.

An unexpectedly useful and versatile tool
I rarely use channel strip plugins, but went ahead and purchased this on a coworker's advice. Haven't had time yet to run it through places, but it's clear enough already I *will* be using it extensively. What a lovely plugin. Very tight and defined sound; not as 'dry' as the SSL but has just the right amount of color. The preamp is not harsh, and wonderfully warms bass & drums. The EQ is what you'd expect from an API EQ plugin. What I was surprised with is gate -- it is indeed so dynamic and responsive, just brilliant. Basically, that entire middle 'gate/comp' strip is brilliant and will surely find much use. Overall, I didn't expect to be as excited with this strip as I actually am. But, yes, it does it up DSP instances quickly [sigh].

Oxide!!!!
I love this plugin! It really glues my mix together and removes some harshness even. I have used the Kramer tape version and it doesn't compare to my ears. Good job UAD !!!

Fantastically Amazing
When I use another 1176 plugin the quality of this emulation is just perfect!

Nice GUI. I wish it wasn't such a resource hog.
