1176 AE Great compressor on Bass and drums
Since I read that the daft punk used a lot the 1176 and LA2-A Hardware for their last Album Random access memory, I wanted to get the similar vibe with some air space and live feel on a disco track.
I used the 1176 AE mainly on bass and Drums, it adds some depth, warmth, space, air, a little bit of pleasant noise and space (similar to a natural subtle reverb or some analog hardware breath).
I wasn't really impressed by the the 1176 LN or SE but when I tried the 1176 AE, I understood why so many studio are using it. It just works so nicely I can only recommend you to test it and forget the LN and SE version.
On bass I combine it to the LA2-A + pulteq EQ-1A + Bx Saturator
On Drums, I combine it with the pulteq EQ-1A + Bx Saturator

Attack times!
Great to have these different units, mostly because of the differences in attack times. The emphasis feature is truly great! What a major difference with the legacy version. This sounds like the real thing, which I happen to own. Well done UAD!
S. Roefs
So great!
Never had the honour to hear the real thing, but this plugin is great on its own. It makes whatever goes thru alive. It brings out the room on drums wonderfully. With this one and the 1176 and LA-2A you have a great palette of colours at your disposal.
R. Boyce
Amazing!
This plug in adds warmth and allows you to control and transient you want. The input can be driven harder for more coloration. This is the best emulation of a Fairchild I have tried. Bravo UAD!

Next best thing to real hardware
The Fairchild Collection completes the Holy Trinity of classic studio compressors. With these, the 1176s, and the LA2As, one can have a virtual rack full of the best compression hardware ever made. These come so close to the sound of the real things that it's fair to ask why anyone not running a famous high-dollar studio would want to bother buying and maintaining actual hardware.
The Fairchilds specifically bring a sense of weight and depth that is rarely available in plugin form. The saturation and coloration possibilities are very nice to have, and the compression action is spot-on. Bravo.

Go-to Compressor
Classic 1176 compressor bundle? How can you possibly go wrong? As expected, they sound just like the hardware we all know and love. Killer on anything you throw at it, and the blue stripe is front and center in so many of my mixes. Previously a lover of the CLA versions, but the slightly different character in the UAD blue stripe has me reaching for these every time.

Great!
Don't have an original 1176, but the plug-ins are great sounding units, for almost every material. I produce techno music, and I'm very happy with the punch it gives to all my sounds.
T. Shelton
Love it
So many reviews I will just say... Beautiful. Yes, it is everything that everyone says it is. Get it.

1176 limiter plugin
So so good!! Great for vocals and drums.
It makes vocals sit perfect in a mix.

The Manley Massive Passive EQ
What a monster eq. This plugin has a clarity and a true emulation of the real hard ware that I have yet to find in most of the other plugins. Though I haven't had the opportunity to use it as extensively as I will. I have high hopes and high expectations for it.

Api Vision Channel Strip plug in
Dettagliato, preciso e versastile. Impossibile farne a meno in ogni session.

Classic UAD improved tenfold
Seriously incredible piece of gear in your virtual rack. The original Fairchild was amazing, and added a thick character to anything you applied it to. UA continues to put out top notch product, and this update is a perfect addition to their updates on classic uad1 plugs. LOVE the new Fairchild, and it's already ended up in every single mix.

It´s okay
Good, but not very good. The Hardware is better! I thinks, this is normal

I loves it, I do!
You get five great plugs for a decent price! Just using the gain knob on the 212L puts character on a sterile signal, and pushes it into a nice emulated analog sound! I use the gate/expander on kick and snare for tight and clean drum sounds. the compressor is wonderful! it can be grabby or subtle, but i go for the grabby sound. the eq is precise and adds character to whatever you are using it as. the ability to put this before or after the comp is cool. I love it and i try to use this on every track on my mix. my quad lets me put this on most of the essential tracks on my mix: snare, kick, toms, overhead, guitars group, bass and vocal group, before overloading the computer. I always use these on my tracks now! it's my secret sauce and glue!

Possibly the best tape emulation plugin ever
This is a great plugin! Thick and gooey mixture of compression, subtle eq shaping, and rich, harmonic saturation. I have 5 different tape emulation plugins and this one is by far the most sophisticated sounding plugin of the group. It's almost always fatter, smoother, bigger sounding.
