Versatile
I worked with Hardware for a few years and loved using it for Voices, Bass, Guitar and now having it as a plugin is simply fantastic!

I like to see this VI develop more
I would like to see UA improve the Waterfall rotary speed midi options. I am used to Air's DB-33 organ, where it is easy to assign the rotary speed (slow / brake / fast) to an expression pedal, so you can play with both hands and change speed with your foot (left in my case). UA defaults to the rotary speed being controlled by the Mod wheel (so you have to take your left hand off the keys to modify it), or you can assign it to the sustain pedal but then it only switches between fast and slow. No "Brake".
Another thing is some people complain is about harshness in the upper frequencies. I notice that as well when the Vibrato is on, or when some of the upper drawer bars are full extended. I compared it to the DB-33 and where the Waterfall is sometimes harsh in the upper frequencies, the DB-33 is also harsh in the lower frequencies.
When it comes to the Leslie, however, the UA Leslie is far superior.
So I like this instrument very much and with little effort, it can be made to sound superior to the DB-33, but the lack of expression control for the rotary speed is a downfall that I bet would be issue to fix.
Also, so many people want plugins ported to Spark. I'm the opposite - I would love to be able to stack the Waterfall Leslie in Console, after a Unison amp plug-in, but that's not in the cards right now. Sure, I could add the Leslie in PT but then I am working with latency issues which is what Apollo handles so well. Native stinks when its the only option. We have paid a tiny fortune for these DSPs and I would like to use them to their max.

Amazing reverb that kills CPU
I love the sound of this plugin, it's amazing but it comes at a cost. The CPU hit is too much. Please can UAD look into this and make it more usable on windows?

One click perfection
It’s really amazing… it’s almost effortless to achieve a great result. It really brings out some beautiful tones!
B. Bigelow
It does the thing.
I was using a competitor's G Bus compressor but became discusted with that company and stopped using their software. This compressor is a suitable upgrade. If you have experience with the SSL Bus compressor sound, you'll recognize it immediately with this. It's instant. Great work! So glad to have this sound again.

Great sounds!
Trully amazing synth!
B. Löffler
Turn it on and it sounds good out of the box
There must be some mojo to this one. It's somehow subtle and yet it improves the sound, so you miss it once its gone. I have more obvious tapes and distortion plugins, but this one becomes more and more my goto. Specially on acoustic guitars, which I use on almost every song. To me this plugin is very well done!

The magic touch for the master bus!
The best tool on the master, simply the best tape emulation to give the final touch.
F. Costa
my go to
When I want to compress with the 'SSL' style, it's my go-to! I really like the sound of this plugin and the punch it brings to the mix. The 'sidechain' function is also essential! By adjusting this setting, you can really achieve compression that's even more precise and better suited for each mixes. I highly recommend this plugin!

Excellent SSL Channel Strip
For me, this is probably the best-sounding SSL Channel Strip on the market right now. When I want to EQ a vocal, it's my go-to. My only regret is not being able to use it on every track because I don’t have enough DSP to handle it. Such a shame. But if I could, I’d probably put it everywhere.

My favorite Distressor
This is my favorite 'Distressor' plugin! I use it in all my mixes !
I really like using this plugin on snares or in parallel on drums. I also love using it in parallel on the lead vocal when I want a sound that's a bit more transparent than the 1176, for example.

Clean Character
Nice clean control of the frequencies without too much coloration yet just the right amount of sweetness with out saturating. Very cool EQ
