I Love it :-)
I've already tested the hardware versus software and it was different - sure!
BUT the characteristic, the texture is very close. The sound isn't better or worse than the hardware.
I think the most important question is: Is it useful? Yes, indeed it's very useful! That's what's happen (i mean soundwise) when you turn the knobs is different compared to the hardware but not worse!!
All in all it's a very good sounding EQ. Even extreme settings sounding wonderful. Try it - buy it :-)
btw.:there's an interesting video regarding Manley hardware/software comparison in German language online https://youtu.be/UUs_hpT_sYY

Analog and versatile
The UA top notch quality. It was one of my first purchase, always happy with those ones !
The sound is authentic, grainy, strong and it's so simple to use.
Incredible to have this gear ITB, so well modeled. Can't go wrong.

Excellent !
Excellent Compressor, compression on the point. The Fairchild plugin makes a beautiful coloring. The 670 is great for Mastering.
The Lat/Vert mode is very useful for nearly each signal. The legacy version is definitely far away from the remodeled Version. Great job !
.
These should be the first plug-ins you buy!
And what a great deal on sale. I never worked on the hardware, but these sounds better than any software compressed than I have used.

Faithful API sound.
I was lucky enough to own a an API 3124 for a few years and as soon as I put the API Vision on a few synth patches a smile crept across my face. The sound is very authentic. It is such a great tool for adding that complex saturation I have come to know from the real thing. For aggresive sounds, I drive the gain into the red for some pretty amazing results.

ADD SOME AIR...
I really love the 27k band to add some "American Air" to the mix.
But the real KILLER ist the 4.7k band to make drums come alive and really "pop out".
I use it on every mix. It has become my go-to flavourish EQ.

WHOA SHIT DUDE!
this thing it insane. thought my mixes already sounded good, then i used the massive passive. THEN they sounded GOOD
.
Wow, this is really nice.
Love this thing, I have a hardware clone of the fairchild which sounds awesome, but I only have one. This I can use anywhere in the mix. Great modeling!
S. Jensen
I so agree!
I love the butter here! I have had the classic version since the UAD-1 plug. But it's now got a full modeling of the tube warmth and the color of the transformers etc! And what a color! I can just add it in to the mix and it sound better. But after using a preset or tweaking same. Now I have got a sound Bill himself would be proud of.....
Like others have said this is my got to comp. 1st one every time!

My Go To Compressor
The 1176 hardware units were always my "go to" compressor Now with the UAD platform, it's my "go to" plug-in! I use it everyday in my studio to bring out the character of my sounds. Great job Universal Audio!

Great and clean
A great compressor that don't color the sound to much. I can't say I have tried an compressor plug in, that can go mile for mile with this one.

Great for Bass and "In Your Face" Compression
This is a great plug to make the bass stand out in a mix, it gives it that in your face sound. The only plug in I have tried that comes close is Native Instruments V2 compressor. Really happy about this one
P. Nørgaard
Great EQ
So musical, and a great tool for sounddesign. The closed I have been to plug in like this is Native Instruments Eq's - Great stuff

Opens the Mix
Open the Mix up like no other plug ins. I love this plug in

Kinda magic?
Hmm, is it kinda magic? I don't know. Somehow it is. I like the low end and the highs. I like the design. I like it on vocals and acoustic guitars. I like it on the 2 buss. Oh, ok...you get it. I like it.
The DSP performance is a pain in the ****. But compared to the price of the original hardware unit it's a wonderful deal (esp. on sale ;-) )

So much mojo
I'd use multiples of this everywhere if it weren't so DSP hungry! Still, the results are astounding so I use it where I can. I really like having a version for mixing, and a separate version for mastering. Really, really powerful tools.

Functionally DENSE
This in a unison channel has provided me with DAYS of exploration. There is so much that can be done with this plugin that I feel like I could use it every day for a year and find a different use each time. Thrilled to have this in my toolkit.

Spoiled for choice
UAD has given me so many flavors of tape and I find each to be really useful and great for explorative sound sculpting. This deck has found a happy partner in my Tom Oberheim Two Voice Pro. From chugging basses to twinkling tenor range sequences, this deck really allows for a high degree of sheen and shine. I can get each voice to settle down nicely in the mix with this. Great plugin.

An astonishing array of possibilities!
Using this with my modular synthesizer has unlocked tonal variations that I never new existed before now. Can be subtle to radical depending on how heavy a hand I use when mixing. Really pleased with this in my arsenal.
