Best emulation of the Pultec
This is by far the best Pultec emulation I have heard to date. The low end sounds much better on this than my Waves version. I highly recommend this plugin.

Pultec Passive EQ Collection
I found this new release of these plug-ins to be quite handy on many sources. It is quite a step up from the originals. Makes the drums shine, but they are useful on just about anything. It was a great deal and I could not be happier adding these to my eq arsenal. You cannot go wrong with these.

Fairchild Tube Limiters a go-to
Having used many of the plug in emulations over the years, I've always had that reaction of "this knob doesn't do much," or, "not better than bypassed." Now, this powerful Fairchild Tube Limiter plug in really does something. I use the 660 and 670 plug ins on vocals and drums these days. The "poof" that you get on a drum set is as addictive as any compressor can be. Overcompressing a vocal just gets bigger and more electrified. If you want to use it on a mix buss, you may find you "can't hear it," while getting results of more loudness on your meters, which is ideal for me.
Having the hi-pass sidechain, the headroom control, and the mix feature absolutely make it the handiest and best Fairchild emulation I've used.

Nothing like the warmth of tape!
I love the Studer. This thing is a beast. I insert it on the Master bus and sometimes on every track. Deffinately my go to Tape plug I grab for everytime! Outstanding job UA!

In your face vocals!
I am very impressed by the LA2A collection. It realy sounds like the analog gear to my ears. I use these regularly in sessions on vocals and acoustic guitar. LOVE these plugins! I've used many other emulations of this hardware and none even come close to UA stuff. Highly recommend!

1176 Classic Limiter lives up to it's name
I've been using an "old faithful" UA 11776LN hardware unit for some time. I love to use it both when tracking and mixing. In the past I've not been incredibly impressed by the other software versions I've tried. Some aren't bad, but until now I haven't found one that really captures the sound and character of the unit that I'm used to.
Now I have that 1176LN sound on as many channels as I like, and thanks to Apollo, I can still use them when I'm tracking.
I'm really impressed. The 1176 "Blueface" and AE versions are stunning too!

Great on Kick and Bass
I use a lot the 1176 AE on almost everything, the fairchild on Bass, moog synth and LA2-A on Vocal
But Since I tried the dbx 160 Compressor, It became my one to go for Kick and bass. What I like the most, it keeps the low end present and punchy more than the other one. It's a most try on kick and bass !

More nice look, more nice sound
Beautiful look I love it. However, any of them sounds better than the legacy version. More clear, more big, more close.
I have a 6176 hardware to make the records and then I put one of these at the end of the chain as a limiter.
Better than anything.

Dead easy, gorgeous looking, sweet sounding
I've never worked with a real Pulteq, and quite frankly I never understood why people were raving about this old box. Haven't EQs gotten so much better over the years?
Well, I don't know if it's the ease of use or the character it has but I do see now why it is still so popular. It has become my go-to EQ for guitars and individual drums, even sometimes vocals.
Many times just because it's so dead easy to dial in.
This new version is not all that different sonically from the legacy plug. It does have some more beef low end and some slight improvements, but sadly not enough for me to pay the price.
The GUI is one of the most beautiful UA has put out there and it is also optimised for retina displays which few of the UA plugs are. A+!

Good bass compressor
I used the "fretless bass" preset, made some minor adjustments, to a track I recorded with a Godin fretless bass. Sounds fat and burpy - definitely worth the price. I look forward to future uses.

Versatility Defined!
Having three beautifully modeled, unique variants of one of the most versatile, classic compressors, makes this collection indispensable. Absolutely stellar sounding set of plugins that I wouldn't want to mix without.
I really wish UA would put a mix knob on these. Most of the newer plugins have it and it makes parallel processing so much easier.
N. King
Awesome!!!!
Very good plugins, and solid as a rock Eq's!!!!
I would recommend the for home and project studio's.

Lushness
Lush & so warm. This reverb fully lives up to its hardware counterpart. Great work UA!

Fairchild 660 for Bass
I just purchased the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection and have just began to experiment tracking Bass Guitar. I have played many different basses in different styles and the results are amazing! I have used many of the other UAD-2 compressor plugins and had good results but the Fairchild 660 is the best, by far! The tone and musicality of its sound is exceptional with a full low end without the pumping sound. I have been playing and recording bass for 40 years now and this will be my "Go To" plugin until something better comes around. (Doubtful!) Another UA Homerun!

FAIRCHILD
Absolut amazing plugin !!!..Need more knowing about all features and setup the right combinations ,then you absolutely win with Fairchild !:) Best Fairchild plugin I found until today ! Thnx amazing UAD !

Really Great
I lean more to the player/computer geek side of things. So I wanted to take a while with these guys before leaving a review. Having said that, the Passive EQ collection is simply great. They sound great, the presets are very usable and tweaks are easily made with musical results. Again, I don't have tons of experience with the hardware version so I was a little apprehensive. That quickly went away. Well done to all at UA.
