Faithful recreation of the one and only!
I was amazed to hear Abbey Road in the presets. Not kind of, or sort of, but right there. I love it based on that alone. I own one synth, but also have purchased many soft synths I don't use or like. I like this more than them. I don't know why. It feels organic. It is old, but feels so fresh.

Great piano!!
Really like this piano. It’s not my main instrument but it’s definitely the best piano plugin I’ve tried . I would recommend !!

Sweet compressor!
Adds a unique color to the tone. Very subtle but lovely. I high

Real as the real thing
I have worked with many tape emulations from different manufacturers and was happy...
Now, I have this emulation of the A800, it's like I've been playing with toys and this really does the job. It's not that you're never 100% sure of the effect the tool produces on the sound, with a trade-off between texture/warmth and sharpness, no. You can clearly hear how the texture improves, without smearing or making things more dirty, it's magical.
This simply makes rivals obsolete.

Use it for Voice Over!
By far the best compressor/limiter for Voice Over and Audio Book Production! Smooths out those digital nasties in this type of audio work. Adds a soft fidelity to spoken word, as a trick, use it with no compression, just going through the circuits and tubes, adds an beautiful ambient halo of sorts.......

Unworkable unit with Zero support from Universal!!
I purchased this Chorus. And yet I am unable to use it as it won’t work!! It shows up in my plugins as purchase but won’t work. Now that’s bad enough, but just try to get in touch with a live human being for help. You won’t get help rather they will refer you to multiple articles for you to read to try to figure the problem out yourself. Think of it suppose you bought a car that wouldn’t run and Unbelievable inadequate and poor Customer Service!!!!

these work well on rhythm tracks.

Great sound, beware fatal flaws:
The synth sounds great and is highly intuitive. I wish it had a HPF but otherwise it's great. Two major flaws, particularly for live use:
1. You have to license this via a physical iLok or have an internet connection. Ridiculous! It will not work otherwise, rendering it too risky if not completely useless for live applications. Please please UA, allow it to be licensed to the physical computer like just about every other plugin I use with iLok manager.
2. MIDI CCs are hard-coded into the plugin, so if you build a sound you're proud of, don't wiggle any knobs on any gear you have plugged in, because it can easily be ruined. Again, the risk here for live is insane. I had to use a Max4Live plugin to block all CCs to avoid ruining my sounds on the gig. Now I have to go rebuild them in a different VST having learned this...
So sadly it's just not all that useful unless you're super careful to print your sounds or turn off monitoring on the track.

Lexicon Perfect Verb
studying and working with many Lexicon emulations, this is definitely the best

Turn your sound around
I used a real lesley in a number of productions many years ago, it’s great to have this level of realism in a plug-in version !

Smooth sailing
Smooth sailing the waves is guaranteed with this wavetable morphing synthesizer, recommended !
T. Kouassi
Great
It sounds amazing

Warm And Lush Sound
Open the track aux and put Lexion on it and turn off the noise switch and that's it. Enjoy its warm and deep sound

Analog Warmth
I haven't experienced using the real hardware, but this plugin really gives the exact taste of what I want. So warm and smooth.
B. Baldwin
Interesting
Slightly odd layout, i appreciate the tone of this plugin so much though.

Not showing up, compounded by horrible UAD customer service
I own a LOT of UAD plugs. I bought this one on a whim, thinking that since it was Native it would now be usable outside of LUNA. If it is supposed to be usable that way, it's not showing up in my DAW. When I tried to get in contact with customer support to get some clarity on the issue and get a refund, all I got was a bot that sent me in circles forever. It used to be that when you had a problem with UAD hardware and software you could get actual people who would try to help you. Clearly that is not the case any more. If this is the future of UAD, I regret how much of my money I've given them in the past.

A must have!
This is simply amazing! Very versatile, I use this on any track of my mixing, mastering. Loving it! Got it on an amazing price also so double the happiness! :)

Never used the hardware, but this a fine limiter

Excellent!
I've been using other 1176 plugins for years and years and all sounded good, but when I started using this one from UA it changed everything, sounds insanely awesome
