Best sounding LA2A out there
If you know what an LA2A sounds like, then you will enjoy using these. Each of the 3 versions are useful in their own way, and it doesn't take long to get used to what each one sounds like and chose the one that works best for your application.
Why 4 instead of 5: DSP use is high. I consult a company that makes plugins, and have done beta testing with SSL and Slate Digital, so although I am not an expert, I am familiar with the process of designing and making a plugin. Also, it shouldn't be hard to switch between the 3 versions within the plugin instead of having to reload each one. A-Bing means loading 3 instances (one of each) and bypassing. Not end of the world, but could be more efficient.

Great on drums and vocals
I much prefer the sound of this to the legacy version, I use it for almost all of my drum busses and sometimes creatively with vocals and synths. It's got a great character and really thickens things up.. Keep your finger on the mix dial in the bottom right to get the best sound.
Even with light compression it adds a lot of depth to the sound. Great work UA!

I put almost everything through the 1176 compressor
For a long while I assumed the 1176 legacy was "good enough"; I didn't even demo these versions. As soon as I did I used the current custom bundle sale to buy them and I simply haven't looked back.
This was one of the smartest buying decisions I've made with plugin software, it sits on almost every track; vocals, bass, drums, etc.
I simply can't say enough good things about this!

Luscious sound
For really long luscious sounding tails you can't go wrong with this; it really is the best plug in I've found for a truly long reverb.
I've drowned vocals and guitars in this baby and the result is just so pleasing that I often find I have to remember I'm not a prog rock producer and dial it down a little. It sits in the mix with relatively little processing, exactly what I've come to want from ITB reverb.
It's now my goto reverb.

Colorful and Dirty
We all know that this is a classic.
Compared to other version of the 1176 this really does capture it properly. it drives in the right areas and using different versions within the collection can really change the character of the sound.
it is a go to compressor whether it be hardware of a plugin.
i love it on vocals and it is great for fold back in headphones.

Multi-tasker
In using this plugin for a while now it has become a go to dynamic processor of choice.
It has great characteristic and it's own sound, this is especially important as it colors sound and has lots of functionality such as the HR control, side chain and the mix control.
Worth the money spent and i use it on everything from vocals to drums.

Great on everything
This is a lovely plugin, put on everything and be happy.
I use the pre (unison) on overheads, hi hat, kick and snare sometimes, just lovely.
Buy it and be happy!

Pultec Passive EQ Collection
After a five-minutes demo I was convinced... this UAD Pultec EQ is so much better than . Finally I found in this the perfect EQ for spoken word.

Great... but bring on the mkII!!!!
I love the LA-3a, both in hardware and software form. My only real gripe with the UA software is the teeny, tiny GUI and that I can't help but wish for a MKII version since all of the other compressors that have been updated are so much better than the original versions.
BRING ON THE MKII!!!

api sound.
overall.. can get punch.
nice bunch of features.
gate is useful and musical.
i need more dsp cards.
J. Battle
Awesome!
LA-3A??? Yes Yes Yes! I prefer 2A on vocals because 3a is a bit more aggressive it seems. With that said I put 3A on individual drums. Great plug!

Precision & Quality
I only had twice the opportunity to use this Manley EQ in its hardware version and its price range made it unaffordable for my home studio use.
Thanks to UAD & Manley R&D teams to propose us a plugin version. On my Apollo, it's working like a charm. The presets are very useful for newbies or for non experimented EQ users.
Hope one day to see a Manley TNT as an UAD' plugin

TELETRONIX - Bar None Vintage Modelling
I bought this collection immediately after hearing the included emulation of the original LA-2 model (the oldest version, pictured at the bottom of the stack). I have every other LA2A-inspired plugin emulation out there, and I've never heard anything like this. This is one of those rare plugins that really tap into that analog magic/voodoo. I never buy a plugin until I've used it for the full demo period, trying it on everything. I'm not impulsive that way. And I'm very picky with compressors in particular. Most compressors, once you properly gain match the before and after clips, don't make the cut. This plugin was just so on the mark that I bought it without thinking about it. This is a phenomenal accomplishment from UAD. Bravo!

My favorite UAD Plug-In
This is my go to reverb plug-in. It is musical, with rich and versatile spaces. For me it's paid for itself over and over again. Spot on!

1176 review
I was skeptical to say the least about how good this plugin collection of 1176s would sound, but, I have to admit I am pleased with the results. I own the waves and softube emulations that also sound good, but I am impressed with the sonic capability of this UAD emulation.
