The Thwack Factory
This is a specialty unit for sure. If you want a swiss army knife stick with 76's and the like. This thing is not subtle. VCAs like the dbx160 are easily the most grabby of the different compressor & limiter designs. I use this a lot on bass, kick, snare, and parallel compression busses. This compressor does "thwack" better and more easily than any other I have used. To fatten up a rock track and glue the low end together, send your kick and bass to an aux and slap a 160 on top. Crush the signal and then pull it way down in the mix. It will give you a subtle glue on the low end and a little more impact on the kick drum.

Great Emulation!
This new version sounds stunning. Been loving this guy on the drum bus lately. UAD makes some of the best sounding plugs and has some of the best customer support in the business - very happy customer!
J. Braun
Stunning!
Well worth the price of admission. All of the revisions have their own unique set of characteristics. Great purchase!
J. Braun
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.

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.
A. Fitzpatrick
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.....
