The best plagin
Thank you for the beautiful plugin Uad

Awesome Sound
Great compressor and fabulous EQ. Don't forget about the x4 for the attack on the compressor, you might need it.

Sha-weeeeeeeet
This pulls off the organic plate reverb vibe very convincingly. It's very easy to seat into a mix, and seating reverb into a mix is often a challenge when working itb.
Protip: don't just use this for the classic vocal plate sound, but also try out the shortest or near-shortest reverb times on various sources. A little dab does a nice job of putting bone-dry recordings into a large studio space.
One thing is for sure, when eating dried fruits, and nuts, and other trail-mix fodder, if you then slap a mic on yourself, you now get to eat off of a classy virtual plate in your headphones.

Versatile and full sounding
I love how subtle these compressors are. The word "warm" is used a lot but they have some nice saturation. I'm still experimenting but so far I'm digging using the 176 on the bass and electric gtrs. UA continues to bring high quality plugins and my collection is slowly growing.

UAD > competition
There are a million competing Pultec emulations out there. Most of them will get the job done as far as EQing things goes. But as far as using them like one uses the hardware, for their extra special sauce and gentle shaping, the UAD's are leader of the pack. You'll notice it within seconds of playing with it. They are also a pleasure to use, don't wreck the integrity of my signal, and the GUI is the best Pultec GUI out there. I use these all the time, for every mix.

Low key incredible usage!
I had other versions of this plugin but with the UAD manual giving such precise and useful info I love this version the most! Such a versatile comp that sounds amazing!

Excelente!
Es un gran plugin, lo recomiendo para utilizarlo con Apollo y Unison.

Super powerful, but not always working the best
This is an awesome plugin that allows you to make some truly crazy sounds. It may take a while to learn how to use but it is way easier than a lot of other synth. The only problem I have is that sometimes its hard to diagnose why the plugin bugs out with all these settings

EASY to program
The presets that come with it are good starting points. Spending a few minutes to to make them your own really transforms it into something special. By dialing back the effects and tweaking the envelopes slightly I now have a great collection of playable patches. If you want long-evolving, one-note weirdo sounds that require 90 modulation sources, this one is not the best option.

If you find yourself asking, "where's the beef?"
Then this will do you nicely. This thing is phat in tone, with a lot of vibe. Aside from the tone, it has very interesting compression characteristics that are hard to describe. Some sources sort of "bloom" out when you strap this thing on, it's nifty.
E. Sedrick
Close to the hardware original.
Pretty darn convincing. 4 stars is just because I don't personally have a lot of use for this kind of effect very often, but it's a classic, and heard on many thousands of albums back in the day.

Audio icing
A great collection for adding analog warmth. As with all UAD plugins, they are easy to operate with excellent preset starting points. And if you need help dialling in the sound you want, the manual is comprehensive and clear.
D. Jackson
Amazing
I upgraded from the legacy modelled version. It’s well worth the upgrade.

Now my go to synth.
A very flexible and great sounding synth plugin. The audio quality is second to none. The range of beautiful sounds it can produce, their dynamism and their usefulness is excellent.
But I’d like to send a real congratulations to the designers of the user interface. Such a clean and smart design that allows very quick and easy access to so many features both without clutter and without diving into a multitude of menus and submenus. A programmers dream or if you want to quickly adjust presets to work perfectly in your track that is a breeze too.
This synth will definitely find its way onto every song I write. I’ve added it to my new song template.
E. Sedrick
Still the best 1176 plugins!
These are almost as good as the hardware, and more authentic in the short attack time behavior than competing emulations. Great stuff!

Best ITB LA-2A
Unlike other plugins trying to emulate this hardware, the UAD version is very close. Very smooth. The 3 different revisions all have quite different attack times, meaning this collection is a lot more flexible than it seems with just the two knobs.

Professional tape machine (more professional control can be added)
Great tape machine for all instruments and general mixing. I would also like to see a button for switching the VU meter "before" and "after" the tape. For more visual control and not only auditory control. That would be great :)
