Stellar But Useless
Tried it out for various instruments - sounded quite good. Looks good too.
But because of the latency, can't use it.
UAD is great for hardware - the rest is for the most part, hype.

like the original
I had a 737 and sold it and this plug in gets the best parts of it right...the smooth compressor and nice, responsive eq are spot on!

Sounds great
This tape emulation works wonderfully. I’ve been using it on mandolin, acoustic and electric guitars, drums and vocals. I then use the ampex plugin on the mix buss with stellar results.

I use it on everything!!
All I can say is once you use this, it will become addictive. I use it on everything, it thickens and adds a certain amount of saturation that makes your digital music sound analog.

All around great plugin
I’ve never used the physical version but I’m very satisfied with the clean pre, and I love the compressor too, it does something beautiful to my vocals.

Fantastic Channel Strip
I tried it and realised after a day of A/B testing that its a must have. Works on anything and adds amazing Analog sound to it. Its a high-end Preamp, EQ and Compressor in one. Which is what you normally would build up one at a time in the signal chain for achieving a sound. It gives the same quality of sound as three UAD plugins together. So using the Century Tube Channel Strip enables much faster workflow as you can quickly put it on a channel and quickly dial in a sweet spot that inspires you. I highly recommend it!

Best compressor ever made. Period
Sounds fantastic, I use it in every session in every mix on every vocal, nothing beats it. Also great to track with.

I had just bought the Arrow and was in the middle of a session tracking all the vocals with a female singer and we had som time left so I said "Can you give me one last take I just wanna try out this Avalon strip for fun" So we used the "Vocal w/ De Ess" preset and when she came out of the booth to hear it through the speakers we looked at each other and there was no doubt... we re-cut all the vocals with the avalon. Absolutely stunning sound, the harmonics and the way it made the vocals cut through the mix. This strip with a Warm audio 87 clone was a match made in heaven!

Avalon VT - 737
Hi,
I recently purchased the Avalon vt 737 plugin, what a show!
I tested it at a colleague's studio with the real device: each plugin setting is identical to the real one!
Keep it up, you are the best.

Best reverb, makes my vocal tracks shine!

Essential.
I got to work with a real pultec and this is a staple of your plugin collection. Worth every penny, I would have paid more.

Great Sounding Plugin - Terrible UI
Sounds great and does its job remarkably well. The reason for the 3 star review is UI needs a major update. Come on UAD, please get this done!

Perfect for everything
I've spent a lot of time with this compressor in different musical settings from acoustic duos to crushing rock mixes. I love how you can hit it so hard and it maintains the tone and integrity of the source. It is the best at bringing out bass, drawing attack out of drums, and getting vocals to sit perfectly in a mix without having to ride words. The filters are useful, the distortion provides nice tonal options, and I found the attack and release to be exceptionally useful in shaping sound. I was particularly amazed by how the release time controlled the brilliance of a snare drum. At 6+ it would shorten and warm the snares, at 4 or less, the compressor allowed the bottom mic to ring out after the attack adding more brilliance and sustain to the snares. If I could have only one compressor, this would be it!
