Magic!
Great reverb not because it just gives the depth to your mix. It does but in a such sophisticated way by giving to the sound remarkable vintage color.

Lexicon 224 amazing
What a great sounding reverb hard to tell it's even a plug in
Awsome
M. Lerager
Amazing sound
These plugins have made the sound of my mixes warmer and much more enjoyable, it's a subtle effect that takes the digital out of any cold electronic production and breathes life into it, i am very happy about these plugins

indispensable
i put it in all drum and synth tracks before all processing - but it works very well also with the bass tracks - great analog deep sound!!!!

Musical Lube
I'd heard an awful lot about this plug in, and had experience using a competitors vintage tape emulation, but holy c$@p, this one sounds just like the real thing, i use this more a s a natural compression...
However it does seem to make strings (samples i.e. Kirk Hunter, vsl etc) sound a bit artificial, takes away too many transients.
Worth purchasing if you want to add warmth to tracks, as individual inserts on each track, or over busses to glue everything together

Top Notch Emulation
This thing is amazing!
Adds warmth, colour and clarity... exceptionally musical.
The side chain and mix functions are a great addition, much like the Pultecs, sometimes you only have to run a signal through it without moving a dial, and it makes everything sound better.

Excellent Work UA
This is the benchmark for console emulation, i have been lucky enough to record on API consoles and this is as close as it gets, especially having the mic-pre.... i'm looking forward to see more mic pre emulations in the future.
D. Moon
great
much more subtle than the Legacy 670, but probably more true to the original fairchiled.

Great Plug
Let me begin this review by saying I don't like 90% of the plug-ins I try. This one, however, is one of my favorites. The preamp emulation does something very nice, that adds presence and a little high-end information. The filters seem to do their job nicely. Haven't messed too much with the gate, but I love the EQ in the mid/high frequencies. My only slight disappointment is with the compressor; it doesn't sound bad, just is a little difficult for me to dial in. The plug also takes up a lot of DSP on my Apollo Quad. All in all I am very impressed though. UA has made a very powerful plug that I definitely recommend trying out.

API Vision Channel Strip Plugin - Superb!
This is a beautiful sounding plugin, one of the very best sounding I've ever tried.
I've had (and liked for different reasons), both the Waves and URS API emulations. They all have a certain "API sound," but I think this one sounds a little closer to the actual hardware, and is more transparent.

Golden Bus Compressor!
The new fairchild 670 is perfect for clamping down on the 2 bus. I tried lots of 2 bus compressors plugins, and was never quite happy with the results. Enter the new fairchid 670 mkii plug. The mix knob will allow you to add the aggression you need for your mix, and the side chain is very useful. The added headroom screw allows you to choose how hot the signal will get to the threshold, and will add some grit. Throwing in the angry little brother the 660 is an added bonus which sounds awesome on the drum overheads. This plug is as good as advertised great job UA. No 2 bus is complete without the fairchild 670 and the Ampex ATR-102 another great 2 bus processor. If you have any doubts don't hesitate to demo, but beware you will want it.

Excellent
I liked the original Fairchild plug-in from Bomb Factory,
and was glad to get the first UA version of the Fairchild, but thought it lacked some
of the character of the BF version. With this new addition to the line UA has
really surpassed the original and their own early version. The sound is subtle or aggressive, however you want it. The compression can be invisible or massive.
This exactly what I was looking for. Sounds great on everything you put through it.

A 10!
Knocked out of the park UA - the plug is mojo of all mojo. This raised the bar of my mixes thanks.
R. Priest
A thing of beauty
This sounds fantastic on any source, but i particularly love it on acoustic guitar, and as a mix bus sweetener, it gives kick drums that lovely warm thump without distortion within a mix thanks UA.

la2a collection
incredable. i was under the impression the slight diff you hear
about with these units was for egg heads an gear heads.
but saw a great video with that fabio dude an gave em a try.
the bulk of my music is sample based and once i started hearing
how the three can be used to colour or bring to life various
parts.
the silver is the cleanest loudest beast.
grey less impact but increases music while almost smoothing
la2a orig 50s again reduces the material conpaired with silver
ive set up mixs purely with these and they sound better than
anything id done previous.
once you split your mix out using the silver for the upfront
sounds. do same with mid sounds with grey then the 50s for
further back your ready for some fun adding the effx.......

Superbe EQ
C'est vraiment une belle émulation du Pultec, qui apporte une chaleur et une couleur très intéressante sur tout type d'instrument. J'adore l'utiliser sur les voix...
Cette Eq apporte un petit plus par rapport à la 1ère version du Pultec avec des aigus nettement plus doux et l'ajout du potard gain et du cut off ne sont pas négligeable .
Très bon travail de UAD, je ne peux que la conseiller.

Best 1176 plug in made
My most used plug in, this emulation is better than any of the other 1176 plug in I've tried!
T. Malmberg
Drums galore
I've been using these on different acoustic drums. Buss, snares, overheads. Works just fine, and gives me more options than the basic Fairchild I've purchased earlier. If I had no compressors, this would not be my first purchase (rather the LA-2A).
A. Carozzo
good upgrade
I was using the legacy la2a; I can definitely tell that the sound quality of this release is far superior; the compression curves are more usable; and the three different versions has their own use. Tried them on bass and voice and wow, that sound that i was searchin for...there is some creaminess that the legacy was lacking; and at estreme settings they are very usable; more 3D sounding even slamming at -20db...good job
