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

Nice 'n Fat
This gives jujst enough texture and full-bodyness to my flamenco guitar sound and a smooth cushion on the highs. Beautiful!

From a transient point of view ;-) - the best in my opinion
I have many softw. emulations of G BUS Comp including SSL's one, so I was very eager to check out the native demo from UAD and I am delighted.
I played with the original HW on a large console, but I don't have it. I have one from another company, with digital recall.
I always test compressor plugins on raw acoustic drums recordings, because then you can hear whether the compressor really destroys transients or not.
This one is supposedly quite an old plug-in, but it is gluey and punchy as hell on Mix-Bus and I consider it the best in this (SSL Bus-comp) role at the moment ITB, definitely.
Additionally - it barely touches the CPU.

Saturates the vocals and adds even more "FAT" :) Perfect
I have an analog LA-610 MK2 on board, and it is always great for recording vocals and other instruments. But this combination in digital format for PC is a masterpiece from UA. When YA makes its analog devices into emulation "plugins" with a similar interface - it's TOP! Thanks UA!

Mi compresor favorito
Me encanta como suaviza todo lo que pasa por él, sobre todo lo uso en voces y las suaviza súper bien además por el color que tiene a veces simplemente lo puedes usar para colorear

Mi preamp favorito
Tengo un Shure sm7b para grabar voces y este preamp colocado en unison me ha cambiado por completo la forma en que suena este micrófono , es súper fácil de usar y me quita todos esos medio graves de una forma muy natural y muy fácil , excelente .

Very realistic- It sounds sweet with everything
I am an Organist/Guitarist and I actually own a real Leslie. But of course you need a good sounding Room and several Microphones to capture it's magic, so I was looking for an alternative that is easier to set up, and most importantly, that can be played quietly with Headphones.
The moment I tried the Demo I was completely immersed. The mechanical Noise is spot on and I actually turned around to hear if my actual Leslie wasn't spinning in it's corner. A big plus for me is that it doesn't have a complicated Interface. Many Plugins of that sort let you change the position/angle and whatever of the microphones, as well as 1000s of parameters and I always end up tweaking myself to death. With this one, there are several distinctive presets to choose from, and that's it. Enough variety for different situations, but it's not overdone. And just like the real deal, it sounds good with EVERYTHING. Grand Piano, Rhodes, Mellotron, Guitar, Bass, you name it.
My only criticism is the price. I find the regular price a bit steep to be honest. But as there are several sales over the year, one can grab it at a discounted price anyway.
I strongly recommend it- especially for Hardware Guys who don't want to tweak endlessly.

Not for Apollo Unisson but no latency issue using Cubase
You may or may not like the sound of this plug-in, test it to check, and it would have been great if it had been compatible with Unisson but in any case, as far as latency is concerned, I play with this plug-in in Live without any latency with Cubase 13 or 14. Of course, the same applies to Lion and Ruby. And it works really well.

Sounds like there’s so much potential. Pleased I purchased it.
Put it on a track and it just makes it better. The metal on the drum kit really shines. Anyone worried about the CPU usage I have 8 cores M1 chip 32RAM and none of them were over 25% when I used 5 inserts of the plugin.
Superb.

Great Sound
This is a good sounding plugin. I truly don't understand all these negative responds here. If it only runs natively, doens't make it a bad plugin. I got great sounds out of it. Even with my Cordoba stage guitar taken directly into it (and the plugin was not designed for nylon guitars). It perfectly suites my Fender Stratocaster. I think it's better on clean sounds than on distorted ones. But both are very fine. So thumbs up UAD!

Fantastic plugin
Absolute go-to plugin for tone shaping! 5/5

Musical and Subtle
Love the 175B and 176 compressors for maintaining a rich natural and warm fat sound. I use them primarily on clean guitars and for squishing room mics in a way that just sounds natural. If you're into just wanting to give a little 50's/60's character to instruments that need just a little something special, these are hard to beat.

Amazing
This Lion plugin is amazing.
For starters, I thought running it as an effect plugin in my DAW would cause a problem with latency. There is no problem here. I'm using an M1 Studio, Logic, 44.1k and 64 sample buffer and 2.7ms output (10.7ms round trip). I cannot hear any latency at all. Sounds just like it's plugged in as a unison effect. So I can play it and listen in my headphones (or FRFR) and it sounds like a live amp. For the haters, yes, it takes some adjustment compared to unison plugins. If you are A/B'ing Lion and the Plexi Super Lead on the same input channel, you will have to do some inconvenient muting and switching of input monitoring. It would be nice if Lion could be plugged into the unison slot, but it's not a deal breaker.
This plugin sounds different than the other Marshall unison plugins, including the Plexi Super Lead 1969. To my ears, the Lion sounds MUCH better. The Plexi has this cry or wine that I've never really enjoyed or learned how to mange. The Plexi 1969 also sounds really bright/harsh and distorted on almost any setting.
I feel bad for those that bought the pedal and had to buy this "again". Doesn't seem fair to me. Maybe some sort of discount would have been reasonable? With that said, if you buy at the right time or with the right bundle, you really don't have that much to complain about. You can get this plugin for a price that is not only reasonable, but an absolute steal considering what you get.
When you start playing this plugin, it's immediately pleasing. This amp has an amazing characteristic where it has "clear" distortion. It's hard to explain, but it's bright, but not harsh. Warm, but not muddy. Distorted, but not over compressed. You can easily sound like some of your favorite guitar players, but even better, you can take that same tone or something similar and add it to your style of playing and you get something perfect for you. We are so fortunate that we live in a time where you can have access to Lion, Ruby and Dream 65 for a small fraction of the cost of owing one of these physical amps. Plus the software doesn't fill up your room with huge amps. LOL
The only thing I do not like about his plugin is not a problem with Lion itself, but all UA amp plugins (including unison). I'd like to be able to change the "Power soak" or final master volume of each factory preset so the volumes match. As I scroll through presets, some are too quiet and some jump out as super ear piercing loud. Some are set so high, they clip the Console output. Without changing the sound or any other setting for a factory preset, I'd like to change and save an output level (or the power soak) of a factory preset. I'd like have the option to easily reset it back to default too. I'm sure it could be done.
Yeah, I'm a bit of a UA fanboy, but if this amp was not great, I would not give it a great review. It is truly great! Just buy it!
