Yes: it has THAT sound, but you have to be connected to the internet to use native versions
I used a hardware 660 many years ago during some sessions in Nashville. Since then, I've wanted THAT sound on lots of other projects, but haven't been able to replicate it. These plugins are the closest I ever recall getting. They are fairly low in CPU usage, too, which makes them suitable for moderate mixing uses without having to bounce/freeze/print stems all over the place. Very nice to have quick access like that.
The one complaint -- and this is why I knock off a star -- is that you have to be connected to the internet to use the native versions. I generally turn off my network connection while recording, but that disables these plugins after a short time. So, every few hours, I need to reconnect and refresh everything in UA connect.

Great-sounding, fairly low CPU usage, but have to be connected to the internet to use native.
These plugins sound great for situations where I can't or don't want to use my hardware 1176s. They are surprisingly light in terms of CPU usage, which makes them great for secondary compression while mixing. The blue version in particular is pretty darn accurate for typical use cases; confirmed by A/B testing with my hardware.

Leslie, Leslie oh Leslie
I grew up with albums using the Leslie effect when bands like the Beatles and Hendrix first discovered that you could use this effect for other instruments than the intended Hammond Organ. Here you have yet another winner from UA with an authentic sound of the Leslie rotating speaker cabinet, with a lot of different options for settings from clean classic sounds, to distorted wild sounds. This is super nice and doesn't get any better!

Classy
I spent a long time waiting for the Native versions of this plug in. I’m glad it has finally arrived. It’s such a joy to use. Gets you to the tape sound you’ve been looking for without the hassle of machine maintenance and high costs of tape. Sure, you don’t get to brag about your 1/2 inch, 1 inch or 2 inch (for the big machines) girth but if no one ever sees you producing then genuinely what’s the worry. I put one on each buss on a gentle setting and stack the sound into the mixbus. It gives me what I need sound wise. The interface could do with a refresh for higher screen resolutions maybe….my only criticism.

The sound of a real Moog ITB
After spending weeks of checking all the vst options for Moog alike sound. I finally stopped at the UAD. This one comes really close to my Mini.
Have been using it on every project since I bought it.
So BUY this one! RECOMMEND!!!!

The magic weapon for weight
A go to in every mix for that beautiful color of vintage tone and weight to any instrument!

Seems good
I rushed to purchase it when I purchase Apollo interface thinking it would be great for bass. But in the road, I found that other preamps like Helios and Neve, even UAD 610B are more suited to bass. It shines in vocals though. I Don't know how it compares to the real thing but honestly I don't care.

Clean and rich
This is very nice plugin and soon I buy sound interface on UAD.
I'm sorry I didn't buy a universal audio card in the beginning.

Teletronix la-3a
Lately this had been good limiter with mix knob. I’ve been useing other la-3a modeling plugin, but it lacked mix knob. I liked very much transparent sound of this plugin, altough I never have use a real hardware one. But this do job well

Tried & True Classic Nailed on the Head!
If you know what an actual multi track reel to reel sounds like, you’ll be familiar with the sound that this plug in imparts. It’s amazing to be honest and will save a ton of time and physical tape cost in the future. Not that I’d get rid of the actual machines, but I can see a lot more ease of use and sonic benefits from this wonderful emulation of a tried and true classic.
