WHOO!!
Once again as far as others attempts on such classics UAD far surpasses them. Waves doesn't have shit with their versions but with all due respect to audio, everything can have a use. As far as real these are the ones! I am in love with the LA2 on acoustic guitars which I don't care for much compression on them usually but that one is just awesome sauce for it. The classic analog bundle is just pure bliss and daily uses for me and I don't hesitate their use thus cutting my mix times considerably not wondering what flavor I want.

musical and adds character
i just use it for mastering purposes on the master buss channel, easy to use and sounds musical even with extreme settings.

Can't go wrong with this!
Pultec on Steroids basically... That's the simplest term I can give you! This thing is absolutely amazing. The boost and cuts are soooooo smooth you have no idea. It feels so musical and natural that it's the best thing to have. I advise you to use this on the way in via the Apollo if you get a chance and have the DSP. It does wonders and you save on DSP later on!
Good luck!

Must have!
I use this on the 2-bus day by day and nothing beats this. It brings life to the song soon as you put it in and with just the right settings you just have a Amazing mix which were just Good in the first place.
Must have!

Buy this!
Seriously buy this! This is something that you should have in your arsenal. I pretty much just use this and forget about EQing as this thing can just give you everything. Mess with the control that are under the hood and you'll see what I mean ;)

I love it and you will too!
If you want one reverb and the best reverb you want THIS. This or maybe the AMS. Two different flavours both really amazing. This thing is so easy to use and to get great sound out of it is just a no-brainer. It might take up a bit more of your DSP but in the end you'll understand why as it's just just amazing!

Great Plugin
I use them for a punchy drum sound, so I can get the typical vintage color of the mid early 70s.
Thanx to UAD, great plugin!

Sound, which lacked !!!
Unique device. Excellent PREAMP, vintage EQ, very musical COMPRESSOR and GATE. And of course Cut Filters are very helpful in many situations ... I like the way it works with drums, bass, guitars. Not replaceable unit for me. Thank UAD !!!

Yo! This thing is a monster
I had a real 102 for years, and I used it for masters, EVERY DAY. This plug-in is such a great recreation.... And turning off the 'hiss' is so sweet. I love what it does on my high resolution masters... And it's also fun for crunching up drums a bit.

Lexicon....? More like sexicon... Amiright!?
This plugin has surprised me, in more than 1 way. I actually never used a 224 in real life... But when I first used this, I was able to get some really fantastic ambience on my tracks. When you open up the top panel, you can tweak the pitch.... And really create some unheard of sounds. I'm gonna use this on synths, all the time.

Big knobs & bigger sound!
This sounds phenomenal! As an engineer who tries to use as little eq as possible in my projects, it's important to know that the ones I use give me great results without a ton of trial & error. So far, I'm really impressed with this... On bass, guitars, and kick drum.

ONE PLUG-IN and ship shape tracks
Not much need for further gating,compression or EQ after using this. Very efficient channel strip. It's really all I need to get the drums printed to single tracks.
Each module works in concert with the other. The gate compliments the comp and the preamp sets the stage for the EQ. Recording in Unison mode will save a ton of CPU and extra work once in your DAW. Performances are better because the monitor mix is better.
The GUI is worlds above other API emus in terms of smoothness of knob movement with respect to mouse wheel actions. Actually was avoiding this plug because of clunky action experienced with the Waves models. UA's version does a great job of making the best of a knob arrangement that was unmistakably designed for fingers.

Got To Get You Into My Life!
These are great sounding compressors! Even just the slightest bit of compression adds warmth and glue to a mix. They sound outstanding on drums! Hit them hard and they still sound extremely warm and musical! A must have!

Warmth
The Studer A800 sounds amazing on pretty much everything! I tried it out on an old mix I had done and was amazed at how much it improved the sonics and feel of the track!

Lex 224 works
Taking the weight of reverb processing off of my CPU and using the Lexicon made my program run better and with a better verb than came with my DAW. Thanks UA.

These plugin are so good they find there way onto most of my tracks.

The best one for sure!
Having played with a number of Fairchild emus I liked the Puigchild the most. That was until I finally made it to UAD. The Fairchild was the first one I had to buy given its enigma and others attempts I had favored of in its likeness. Whether this is holds a candle to the real deal is irrelevant to me. Until I find out I am completely content having this. It is becoming a go to and must have on my mixes which are benefitting from it.

Punchy.
I didn't think I needed this plugin, but bought it anyway. Man, have I been missing out! I especially like the strip on bass guitar and drums. What an amazing tool for sculpting!
