Not Just Another Comp...
I already have the L2 and 1176 collections plus the Fairchilds; I really thought the LA3 couldn't keep up...until I tried it. This little compressor brings a sweetness to everything; try it on the output of your 224 or EMT140... Awesome.

Great Plugin, Easy to use sounds great
If you're liking for a good compressor that's quick and doesn't hog DSP this is it. Doesn't slow you down and once you learn it dialing things in becomes second nature. Great for sound design and the production stage.

Best single purchase so far
I've got a modest but respectable collection of UAD plugins at this point. For some reason I had been avoiding getting the 1176 upgrades despite hearing how good they are. I've used real 1176's and never really "got it". Finally I demo'd these plugins specifically with the goal to try to understand why the 1176 is supposed to be so good. Turns out I just wasn't pushing them nearly hard enough and looking at the meters too much. I can't say if these plugins sound as good as the real thing but I know that when I heard these clamping down on bass or drums or vocals I recognized the sound of records I love instantly. These plugins have changed the way I mix; I find myself using less EQ and getting better results. These are a must-have.

Love the richness!
I loved the legacy Pultec Pro plug, and this ups the mojo. It's killing it on my drum busses.

The Best Pultec Emulation you can buy.
I've used several Pultec plugins from different brands and UA is the BEST out of all.
It's based on my personal preference and UA version had most Punchy low end.
For the price, it is definitely one of the must have plugins.

Great Compressor, but new version please!
Man- this thing has it all. The La-3a is simple, practical and for some drum mixing, it is all it really needs to go through to get the job done. Really enjoy working with this! The only complaint is that the GUI is so dang small! My eyes are bad, but even with glasses, I find it hard to see. I hope the new version includes a larger screen! My EYES are not a fan, but my EARS love it!

OMG! It's DAWsome
I will never ever have the money, to buy a REAL one, and so i don't know, if it sounds REAL...
But how cares about that. The Pultec Plugins are Great! And that's the only thing that matters for me!
I use it on every guitar, bass, and sometimes on vocals and busses and it works just so fine!
It sounds GREAT and REAL!

Best tape plugin for multitrack by far
This is the best tape plugin for multitrack colour and feeling and "warmth" without exception.
It comes into its own when working across many tracks and using the gang capability.
I tend to use other plugins for tape effects and saturation on single tracks but this is my go-to for multitrack colour and feeling, bar none.

dbx 160 for punch
This made playing the bass on the basic tracks FUN. The snap, the punch, the distortion is just right. I have been curious to use this plugin, having used the hardware unit on a session years ago, remembering how well it worked on bass. Rock bass! Have yet to try it on drum anything.

Best Reverb Plug by far
I know it's subjective and I certainly haven't tried every single reverb plug-in/hardware, but this thing is absolutely fantastic. You can really shape a great sound with ease. It sounds killer on anything - I use it on vocals 99.9% percent of the time. You can be nice and subtle or you can really make something sound like it was played 10 years ago and is just now catching up - if that makes sense. Can't say enough good things.

Pultec Love
After I read an article where Tchad Blake said he ALWAYS had a Pultec (hardware) in his vocal chain, I knew I needed to give this thing another shot. I always liked the sound but couldn't figure out what it was doing. I read the online manual for Manley's hardware Pultec and it started to make sense. Now I know what I'm listening for. If you spend some time really listening to what's going on in the whole frequency spectrum, you'll notice changes in the upper harmonics when you fiddle with the low cut/boost and vice versa for the high boost. Not to mention the sound of this unit with it just being on. I can't imagine a hardware unit sounding much better.

Top Drawer!
Just superb. We have an original Rev E, and having the ability to use a few of them and access to the other Rev's is fantastic. The MKII models are unbeatable.

Great Plugin!
The most natural plugin I ever used. Great on everything!

Pultec Passive EQ Collection
This plugin is totally worth the price for the upgrade and sound superior to the competitors products. If you want a real "classic" eq then this is your plugin. Besides the nice vintage user interface it comes with a series of really usefull presets giving instantaneous boost to your eq repertoire.

Great!
Great sounding Eq Collection. Not useful for all signals( for me ), but when i need a special character i love to use the Pultec`s. The warmth is awesome.
