A High Quality Implementation
I've used LA-3A plugins for a long time, and have experience with emulations produced by multiple different companies. I typically use the LA-3A on drums for controlling tonality and punch. There is only one version provided, so it lacks the variations in character enabled by the different revisions in the UA 1176 Collection, and obviously the design does not have the controls of a 1176, so it is less flexible. However, compared to competitors' implementations, I've found the UA version of the LA-3A to be a bit cleaner and more tonally balanced. This is a high quality implementation.

Very Good Reverb
I really like this pure plate reverb, it's easy to use and the vocal sound blends into my mix

The iLok racket
I cant imagine there ever being a problem with any plugins themselves, from UA. They are stellar. The only problem is software companies, UA included, who insist on perpetuating the iLok racket. The plugins simply need to be able to be licensed to a machine, not just "in the cloud", or on a iLok usb stick. Or, they must be able to be downloaded, unlocked...and thats it...no iLok anything. Perhaps its oldschool, but I do not ever have my studio machine connected to the internet unless I specifically have to update something or download, etc. Needing to be connected to the internet in real time, in order to use a plugin, in the future, will keep me from purchasing and using UA plugins.

Unresolved Issue
there is an internally issue that still hasn't been resolved. This makes it practically unusable.

Awesome
This is a FANTASTIC PLUGIN I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
P. Savolainen
Excellent (what else could it be)
Very good late 70's type of lexicon sound.
It isn't 480 though, it is somewhat different sound. I think you need both.

Fairchild Duo
Great compression and modified sounds that only the Fairchild can add. It's still king of the compressor family for good reason.

Pultec EQ bundle
Excellent EQ bundle, they're much more useful than you'd think. No regrets here. This is the best one I've heard. And it's doing the Pultec boost attenuate punch quite well.

Distressor comp
Admitted I wasn't quite sure how this would sound, but after using it, it's great not only to compress but add harmonic distortion. Yes it can be clean too, but I'm enjoying the distorted bass section with this.

Century channel strip
It's got a decent tube preamp sound, additional compression and EQ sections. Can be turned up to distorted sounds if preferred
P. Mello
Simple and crystal clear!
Like everything Universal Audio does, this plugin is also awesome, simple and crystal clear, it delivers fantastic results, all you need is a good instrument, excellent performance and a set of honest microphones that are not necessarily the most expensive. I never stop being surprised with each new acquisition with UAD.

The best emulation on market
Having used real LA-2As, I can confidently say this is the best LA2A plugin collection by far

ilok and no midi mapping
No matter how good this synth sounds this damn ilok dongle which takes one usb port on my mac book and lack of midi mapping is a real dealbreaker ...even for discount price. I have a nice keyboard with knobs an sliders and I still have to use the mouse? No way. NO deal!
J. Pena
Just really good
The very first thing I used this on when I got the demo was on vocals for a old style bluesy rock song. I had to mess with it for a little to get a sound I liked, but when I got it there, it sounded really good. It sounded like the vocal and reverb just blended into each other in a way that I never got from any other reverb plugin that I own. By the way for me to get that sound I send a slap delay (galaxy echo) into the reverb, and I also blended in a little bit of the pure plate verb. After I heard that, I purchased the 224 the next day.

This is one amazing compressor/Distressor on the market. Sound quality is great on drums, bass and vocals. Love it!!

Excellente Reverb!
Il y a pas à dire, cette reverb sonne très bien et elle est très flexible sur les voix et instruments.
Comme d'habitude avec la qualité UAD.
Je vous la recommande.

Avalon VT 737
This is the magic I add to every mix and to selected channels. The Avalon sounds smooth, professional and adds a radio ready finish to my mixes.
