Surprisingly Unexpected
I own the waves la2a and had the legacy edition as well. This is another beast. I have a feeling the other two are about to collect dust. This thing can be worked harder than the aforementioned variations without being obvious. Love it, thanks.

Just Works.
Seems to slip nicely into the mix with relative ease. The manual was an important read, having never used the original hardware. This is easier to use than the relab 480L imho. It also sounds better to me. Bit pricey but it's good.

Andrew Scheps was right
Not remember were i heard Mr Scheps saying it was a great plugin for Kick and Snare....and he was right,just mixed a Reggae album...and the plugin is on every kick and snare on the album....paralell compression worked best for me,but it also works as a track plugin....and not expensive at all

THIS PLUGIN RUINED MY RELATIONSHIP!
I am extremely upset with UAD for this plugin. Since I purchased it, my relationship is ruined. My girlfriend is upset that I don't spend time with her anymore. But who could blame me when you put this on a vocal?! Boost 8k a bit and bring le that vocal cut through the mix. God damn, this thing is sweet!

Room Brilliance wanted? There it is!
It takes just a moment to realize how many possibilities this revert offers to your music. It has its own character and it doesn't sounds cheap. In fact I bought myself the waves H-Reverb and it can not compare to the lexicon no way. If you're happy with the logic space designer for example you don't know what this unit does.

The Best!!!!!!
I ran this through the tests. The reverb was at the bottom of my list of things to purchase. I mean, lets be honest, a reverb can be a boring purchase when you have a stock reverb and the LX480 that comes with the Slate bundle. I did some A/B testing and tried mixing with all of those. Within minutes of running this demo I ran to hit the purchase button. It offered so much depth and space to my tracks without feeling overprocessed and thin like the others. AMAZING JOB UAD!

Uad Vs waves cla-3a
I used the waves cla-3a for a long time before I decided to get this plug. It doesn't look as cool as the waves la-3a, but it does sound slightly better, and it can be dialed in much faster as you don't have to deal with the poor default gain staging of the waves version, which is important to me. Since I got this the waves cla-3a has seen zero usage. This is a great plugin that works in a lot of situations, and I personally think that everyone needs an la-3a flavor for mixing. At this point in time this plugin is my go to for la-3a compression. I know it's not a real important aspect, but I do wish it looked better, so I'm giving it 4 stars.

IF YOU WANT THE GREATEST CHAIN YOU NEED THIS
FOR EVERY SONG AND I MEAN EVERY I ALWAYS FIND MYSELF RUNNING MY 1176 PLUG INS WITH THE LA 2A GREY. THE CONTROL AND TAME IS INSANE PLUS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOUND ARE UNTOUCHABLE.

One Of THE Classic Reverbs
Superb classic Reverb that´s not only well known from the 80ies, but also just great sounding for today plus extra-tweakability.

Brilliant
Until I purchased an Octo Sattelite I was mixing in the box with stock pro tools plug ins, and getting a reasonable result. Now I am getting what I am hearing. I cut my teeth in a professional analogue studio over 30 years ago and we had a 480L as our main reverb and I fell in love with the sound. Until now I have never been happy with the dimension in my mixes and this gives me that professional Lexicon sound, that none of the plug ins I have used before gave me. I was using an Eventide reven outside the box to achieve a good result, this software version has blown that out of the after. Thank You UAD. and one last thing, I can run multiple instances of the reverb, who can afford to have 4 or more Lexicon reverbs in their home studio?

Fantastic as usual.
This is a great sounding plugin. UA rarely disappoints. There is not too much to say that has not been said. Its a faithful reproduction of possibly the most widely used and versatile compressor ever. It sounds great on most sources and is one of my go to comps for drums, bass and as a part of my vocal chain. Each of the three comps that are part of the bundle has a slightly different flavor. I am still getting my head around the sonic differences and which I prefer on each source. Get it. It will be one of your most used plugins.

とってもスムーズな掛かり具合
透明感を残したまま処理出来るので、仕上がりがとてもスムーズで重宝しています。

Very underrated plug-in
I have quite a few compression plug-ins now, but I find the dvx 160 to be my go-to compressor for a few things. First snare drum. I've tried them all and for a snare with an SM57 on it this gives it the crack I like. I also use it for vocals as it is super fast and can work wonders for singers with developing mic techniques. Well worth the price.

Stunning Sound, Amazing Character
I bought these with the intent of finding something better than my current 1176 plugin. I figured UA had the industry on lockdown, considering their 1176 is the most popular hardware option, so I went with the plugins after getting them at a good price. Upon loading these on my vocal track, I couldn't believe the analogue vibe they gave the vocals. Even with barely doing any compression, having it enabled brought that unique, analogue warmth to the track. After pushing it to about -7db in compression, I was pleased and then some. Seriously, I prefer how these sound to a 3rd party budget HARDWARE unit that I own. I can't recommend these enough. You don't truly have a good 1176 plugin until you own these.

PULTEC PASSIVE EQ "SURPASSES"
Thought I would win by trying a less expensive Pultec emulation from another plugin supplier...wrong. Even though the "other brand" claimed to be "an exact emulation" it was so much easier and realistic with the UAD plugin. And, what I think is the strongest selling point, I was able to choose from a large number of pro pre-sets to "get me in the ball park" of where I wanted to be. The rest was a snap. Thanks UA for another great plugin!!
