Gospel Beats
This plugin sounds great on any track you put it on. I mainly use it for vocals, can't explain what it's doing to the vocals, but they just sound better after putting it on the track; simply using the vocal preset. It sounds good on your overall mix as well. If you do all of your mixing in the box, this plugin will add some analog warmth to your tracks, and make it sound less digital.

It's all been said ...
... about what a great emulation this is - and with a few extra features it is, for me, 'the boss'. If you want a reverb to stand up and say 'Heh - listen to me!' 224 is your solution. It's not so much a reverb as the sound of a huge chasm waiting to happen!'

This buries all other 224 emulations
It has analog soul and grit. I've bought a few 224 knockoffs such as the NI RC 24, which are nice in their own right (you can never have too many reverbs), but they sound smoother and less analog by comparison. This plugin seems to have unique non-linearities in its DNA, which make it feel more lively. Whatever the reason, I love the sound of it and have started reaching for it a lot more frequently.

Perfect emulation
I have an original 160 I used to use on bass all the time. It is not longer necessary. This plugin responds exactly as expected. I love the simplicity and sound of this compressor. Works great on bass guitar, guitar, and especially electronic beats. Now I can stack it on as many tracks as I desire instead of being limited to on track at a time. I knew what the real deal sounded like, hence why I chose this. Needless to say, I a am not disappointed. A great tool for fattening things up.

The classic 224
Heard on countless albums from the 80s and beyond. This is an essential reverb tool. Such beautiful color. Everything from minimal spaciousness to humongous halls. I use it on guitars, vocals, synths, and even mixes. Great all around effect. Has a permanent home in my send bus. In fact, it has been so satisfying, I haven't even tried the other UA reverb options yet. The Lexicon 224 is my go-to for reverberation. A must have!

Very unique EQ
I have tons of EQ plugins. This one stands above them all as an extremely flexible and colorful tool. It adds such a unique character unlike anything else. It can fatten a guitar, tighten a bass, and just make a full mix shine. The three components don't necessary need to be used together but when they are, it is an equalization arsenal. As stated, simply running a mix thru this plugin gives it a fresh character. Tweaking the freqs just a little can completely enhance an instrument or mix. I don't know why I waited so long to get this set. I guess I figured it was just another EQ, but I was quite mistaken!

Perfect sound
I use this on everything, nothing I can complain. Two knobs and magic comes out . Awesome.

Sweetness
This plugin is sweeter than brown sugar. If you need to brighten a track or add a solid bottom, look no further. It's hard to make this emulation sound bad.

Idiot Proof
This is one of the easiest compressors you'll ever find. On the same token the sound is unmatched. One of the best compressors of all time. Hardware or software.

Easy quick-fix plugin
I was told how amazing the UAD tape plugins could be and I found out straight away with this plugin. Simple to use, great presets to start from, and great sounding results. I found the slight bass bump, gentle compression, and warmth/saturation of this plugin to instantly improve a variety of sources, from kicks, to bass guitar, to vocals. All this in a reasonable DSP cost package per instance. Killer plug.

Double-edged sword
Be careful with all digital saturators. The oxide tape likewise makes the sound stronger and weaker.

Thick and big sound
Thick and big sound, Great on vocals, drums and bass guitar. Its sound color is amazing. Thanks UA

Options
UADs Studer A800 takes whatever you give it and gives it back with a high quality sheen. The options to customize the settings makes this more than just an emulation. It's like having a tape toolbox. There are also plenty of useful presets that work well when you mix into them from the outset. Another hit from UAD.

Lexicon 224 Reverb PlugIn
224 is extremely musical and good sounding reverb. It works as a great "bigger than life" glue in mixes. Vocals and synths love it.

OMG
This is my favorite Drum bus! It brings the sound to a new perspective, today I can't mix anything without this toy! Also love this guy on the bass and vocals.

Classic For a Reason - Must Have
The 1176 Collection is my favorite plugins from UA. They really nail the original hardware units. My favorite one is the AE, which is fantastic for bass and vocals.
