Truly a classic!
Great plugins which gives your tracks the analog feel

The best La-3a emulation available...so far.
I have a sequential pair of original La-3a below the 1000 serial number mark. Nothing sounds like them.
This plugin does a pretty good job of emulation but is still missing the sweet spot that a well kept original can give.
Love it though.

Pretty darn close to the real thing.
I've had the hardware 2500 for a number of years now as my main stereo is compressor. I tested out the waves version and the UAD version and decided on the UAD one. It's REALLY close to the original. I've switched between the plugin and the hardware in sessions and they perform the same and sound almost identical.
The only spot the plugin lacks is the sonic 'bloom' the original has when boosting the makeup gain knob.

Fantastic. I Give 4 stars simply because it lacks a link button between input and output.
Ive owned this since the beginning of my UAD experience. Its one of the plugins that live on my projects. I use it all the time to get that extra cohesion, smooth out harsh highs or that low end bump. A must have in my opinion. I Give 4 stars simply because it lacks a link button between input and output. UA?

aka The Crusher
Ive seen this eq used a few times for crushing drums on a drum crush bus and every time i was blown away. I finally purchased one recently and... I just love plugins with a few features, easy to dial in the right sound, with fantastic results.
Looking to mix drums with some edge to it... dbx 160... do it!

Manley Masive Passive EQ. Massive many ways like the Gokul dark hole dark but also heavy duty. Smooth soft and natural. THE Manley Masive Passive EQ

Never sounds bad often sounds great
This is probably one of the best all around must have plugins available. I'm both grateful and scared that there are so few modern day equivalent pieces for reverb. I'm glad it's character was preserved so well. I'm sad/scared there won't be a reverb with as much character for our generation.

Almost like the real thing
It sounds almost exactly like an API 2500 compressor. I'd say we're 90% there. It does have the API attitude, but doesn't have the tone. The bass is much bigger and tighter in the hardware, and dense mixes tend to collapse when compressed hard on the software, which doesn't happen with the hardware. However, I have to admit UA did a great job and for a fraction of the cost of a real 2500, it's up to you to decide if the difference is worth it or not (probably worth it if you're doing some mastering though).

Smooth
Really smooth, simple and easy to use. I'll say you can hardly make things sound bad with this. Give it a try and you'll fall in love at first listen ;)

If you can have only one chorus....
This is it. It can do subtle to lush, without garbling the signal. To me, that's essential, and difficult to achieve with most of the others I have used. It's always my first choice.
P. King
Real or not...?
Can barely tell the difference between the tone of this and the original low serial LA-2A that Ive had for years. I'll always love the hardware, but now I can run as many as I need on a session!
The only downside is these plugins don't quite seem to have the 'sweet spot' that an original LA-2A has, when you hit the right spot and the tone just jumps out catches your ears.

Wonderful on my Vocals and Bass too!
Everyone needs a little LA-3A in their life, now I do too!

My new go to
Got it for low DSP and to insert it 1st on every channel to simulate an 16 track tape recorder. Love it and reminds me of the good o'l 80's days...

By far my favorite plugin
I use this on all my tracks, and all my mixes. The sound difference between using this plugin versus not, is astonishing. As said before, the tape sound glues all your tracks together. You can go far beyond what the original unit could do in its day, especially by applying the sync mode. However I am happy enough using this tape machine as originally designed. This is by far my favorite plugin.

Apex of optical compression
This is an emulation of the successor to the LA2A, thus it's a bit quicker as a compressor limitor. I love it on guitars and keys. If you want speed approaching FET, but still the nature of an optical compressor, then this plugin is for you!
