LA3A magic
Yet another perfect model - the LA3A works and sounds just like the original. I have other brand versions of this but the UA is by far the best. Wish I hadn't wasted dollars on the others now. Works exceptionally well on bass guitar and backing vocals.

Oh my goodness!
Had the original Legacy 670 and liked that, but man, the 660 does amazing stuff for beefing up bass and drums. Notice that it kind of reduces the highs on things, and you can use that to great effect on things like overheads on drums, where you can beef up the drums without the cymbals getting annoying. Looking forward to doing more with these.

LA2 vs Legacy
Must say I didn't expect the difference to be this big. The end result sound is difficult to describe but "organic" with more presence and fuller details.
Worth the upgrade. No doubt my go to tool for anything full and fat, especially vocals.
Would recommended the upgrade.

Exceeds Expectations
This has become my favorite UAD plugin. It is great! It really adds a nice touch to the mid to high frequencies.

Some IR Reverb and UAD
I used to use Some IR Reverb Contained Lexicon's IR Presets for my mix.
but, 224 is better than these plug-ins!
Sound is good, and it has more flexibility for editing than IR Reverbs.

An Absolute Must!
You think you already have The Fairchild plugin so you'll pass on this one. Do yourself a favor and rethink that. I have the "legacy" Fairchild and love it, but when I heard this one I was gown away. I I can understand if you're skeptical so run it as a demo and I'm sure you wound be able to live without it. The new presets are amazing and the depth and clarity ,if you want it, is staggering. I've been using it to crunch drums, bass, and vocal lately. I Can't wait to hit the guitars. Least of all it looks beautiful. I think it helps to be visually inspired as well and sonically. Try it out. You have nothing to loose.

Lots of variations
I just love the feel and the sound of this excellent plug in. I use it in several different instruments' recordings and the result is always top notch.
Forgot to mention that I also love messing around with the settings and tweaking it a lot...so many variations and highly interesting results there too!
Experimenting with it is highly recommended!
S. Mastrokalos
Highly recommended
Very impressed!
Ever since I demo-ed the plug in and after I purchased it, I use it in every recording and mix.
The price may be a bit on high side, but for those who know what a Studer® A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder was/is, what it means to recordings and what is its use, then any hesitation is gone, I guess.
Good job UAD!

Une étape est franchie... !
Une fois encore, UAD démontre sa maîtrise de designer d'algorithmes, et le résultat est incroyable, un son hyper soyeux, de la crème... Dans l'univers du numérique, une étape est définitivement franchie... !

Classic EQ!!
Worked like a charm. The older version Pultec saw a lot of use here and this updated version, to my ears, is certainly an improvement! The only small detail I like about the first version is having the Mid-Band visible on one plug, this one you have to navigate between the two; three if you want to include the LP/HP. It'd be nice to have the option to have them all visible in one instance

Teletronix Leveler Collection
Great stuff. I use it all the time. Amazed how close these plugins sound to the real thing. If you own the legacy model I as did and purchase the grey and silver, I was amazed out how different they sounded. I would recommend these to any studio owner.
S. Woolgar
Sounds fantastic, especially with guitar.
I don't have an 1176 for reference, and honestly don't care how it stacks up. It sounds great though. The reasons I wanted an 1176 was to stack two of them on an electric guitar to create a crazy endless sustain pedal style type of sound. Mission accomplished.

Versatile tool
Many uses and multiple instances of a 2000$ compressor.
D. Tartar
Ferrari of EQ's
Combine the sound of glowing tubes with one of the tightest sculpting eq's you'll ever hear. Both the standard and the mastering versions of the Manley Massive Passive are monsters and perform like sports cars. Warm, aggressive and thorough.

I wish I had more than 5 stars to give it
Title says it all. I love it! I just wish it was all in one wrapper like the legacy pro.
J. Cox
Love it
I absolutely love this thing. UA, please give us more preamp emulations. This thing is really great for adding edge and aggression for lack of a better word. It's just a really strong plugin and is beginning to become a cornerstone for my sound.
M. Dellandrea
Simply... GREAT!
Never harsh, colorful and unique want miss this Plugin! Thanks UA

Its a tough one
I used to use the legacy version on my drums with superb results. I initially couldnt hear how htese new versions were that much better than what i used previously but one of the three really hit the spot now I cant live wihtout it. I'm sure one of the three emulations will hit the spot for you.

Are EQs allowed to be this good?
Fire up the 14 day trial. Stick on the drum buss. Dont even tweak it. Listen.
D. Nelson-ashley
Essential
This is a great plug in that is jam packed with flavour to make drums sound punchy.
