Great Product
This bundle sounds killer and sleighs the competition in my opinion. I prefer these over any other 1176 emulation by far. Great product!
J. Cunningham
Genius!
Had it for 2 weeks and already using the grey edition on almost every single track I produce. Warms things up amazingly, and works surprisingly great on bass!

Fantastic
Smooth sounding and transparent, the Pultec is a great EQ and plugin. I use it all the time. It's easily one of my favorite plugins.
Y. Picard
Amazing
These emulations sound like real hardware compressors. Effortlessly gives power and character to vocals. I'm amazed at how far you can push these and still have them sound great.

Another must have in the engineer's toolbox
The new LA-2A Collection is another beauty from UA, great work! The plug-ins give you instant gratification during mixing with various subtle flavors to choose from. The LA-2A Collection is another must have in the engineer's toolbox. As all the more life-like emulations demand more and more processing power, all we need now is a daisy-chainable Thunderbolt UAD DUO-DECA (12 DSP) card...

Versatile, colorful and simply a classic
The new 1176 Collection is versatile, colorful and simply a classic. Using it on anything from drums, bass to vocals. Not more to say than well done UA!

Nailed It!
We rented a 670 from a shop a few years ago… needless to say we fell in love. Sadly, we had to return it.
This new Fairchild collection has managed to finally get that ridiculously special 670 sound. Even better… we don't have to take it back.

Fairchild
Wauhhhh :-) Feeling rich now, being an owner of Fairchild colection.

Perfect for multi-takes or comping
When doing multiple takes audio tends to sound slightly different from each other, especially with vocalists.
The worst is when they take a sip of that water, instant brightness.
The LA-2 with its super slow release fixes all this.
Simply (seriously simple to use) amazing.

Great set of plug-ins!
These three emulations are fantastic! They do everything that you ask them to do. And the artist presets are great starting points that encourage tweaking and digging into these compressors to find new sounds. Absolutely solid. Totally worth the purchase!

Magic box
It's a funny thing for me now to want to have an eq which is very subtle.I don't mean to say that you can't turn the effect right up on this unit but each time I use the Pultec its one freq at a time and a little tickle goes such a long way.
I used the high pass / low pass mod on an old track that had a muddy bottom end and turned the high pass up one notch from the off or zero position.
The sad thing is I think a lot of people are going to start using this thing and its sound will become a bit common.
But that's not bad because that's a sweet sound to have all around the place !

Transients
My drums show another side to them with this plug-in. Anything with a transient peak will contast well with the LA-3A.
Got to give it a 5/5
D. Van
Simply wonderful
These plugins are lush, fat, funky, crisp, punchy and much more. Simply wonderful!

As from the past
After many years not been active in Sound reinforcement and production I'm back in using my old tools. It up to amazing to be able to recognize the old Lexicon quality is there in new technology. Nothing has changed.

Behind the times
While this is an absolutely AMAZING reverb, I'd much rather be using it in Pro Tools 11 64bit AAX for Windows.....
A. Bamshad
BRILLIANT!
This is probably my most used plugin of all.
It goes first on almost every channel strip for that subtly warm thick tape sound.

Upgrade path to hell
So I got this plugin. Won't work on my system because you must have the latest OS which means a new Mac new interface and new UA hardware as all the FireWire shit has changed. I think I have decided to say fuck off to UA and this upgrade hell. To use this plugin will cost about 5 k. I could possibly get a real one and it would always work. This one won't. Not worth it anymore. Let's see useless PCMCIA card, useless FireWire 800 UAD 2 that is about as reliable as an old Fiat and an Old Mac Pro with UAD 1 cards. Most useless audio gear I have ever collected. Goodbye to UA crap!
You asked for a review you deserve worse
D. Gonko
Excellent sound quality
Like most people, I've never had the good fortune to use a real Fairchild, but I've certainly auditioned my fair share of plug-in emulations of this iconic compressor/limiter. The new collection has that special something that just sets it above every other emulation/model I've worked with and there's no way I can ever go back!
J. Neale
sounds great!
definitely worth the money spent. the sounds compared to others is much better.
it also saturates when driven and that is exactly what i needed from it.
great on drums, vocals, bass etc...

Beautiful Hardware
This software version of the Leveler is so faithful to the original. I am so glad that I purchased it.
