I didn't know that it wasn't Native
Didn't know it wasn't native to all interfaces and now I'm stuck with it with no refund or any way to use it, b/c I no longer have an apollo...wish I would've known beforehand but whatever...

10/10 Tape Echo
I’ll probably never need another tape echo plug in ever, this thing rules and I have a dedicated aux track in my daw just for it on every session

It's Alive and screamin
To me it sounds the most realistic emulation so far
R. Lavender
very authentic sound
I have three different version of the LA2A compressor from various creators. The Universal is the one that recreates the sound of the LA-2A perfectly. The others are close, but the UAD nail sit to a T and is now my Go To compressor whenever I need or want an LA2A. So many uses for the collection, and the variations in tonality and function are right on the money.

Authentication Keep Failings
This would be a much better plugin if I could actually use it. I've tried multiple trouble shooting techniques and the plugins always say "Plug-in not licensed"

Six stars for sound, two stars for the rest
Waterfall sounds fantastic, but the UI is very minimalistic. The reverse color keys on the far left of the registers cannot be programed to save your own presets, there is no midi automation even for drawbars, so it has to be run in Gig Performer or Cantabile to play live (and the one time hassles of setting up all the automation). But it does sound fantastic. I also own the officially endorsed by Hammond product and find the Waterfall sound to be very complimentary in nature. Would not want to give up either one of them. Six stars for sound quality, two stars for depth of UI control.
It also requires either iLok dongle or an internet connection to use it. For some reason UAD does not provide iLok computer activation like every other plugin maker on the entire planet using iLok protection. Its a major concern for a lot of people commenting in forums. And to make matters worse, UA Connect launches every time you use it unless you uninstall UA Connect, which you can only do if you have a dongle...

Best compressors ever made.
What can i say, amazing compressors at an amazing price. Been using them on everything. Especially loving the all buttons in function for that classic 1176 sound.
I can’t say enough about how good they sound.

Worth the hype.
I've tested a few UA plugins lately and honestly they didn't all "blow my mind" compared to their alternatives but this one is a keeper. It adds a little polish and some stereo perspective that instantly gives a better feel to your vocals. The compression itself works well but the character is where it really shines. No other compressor plugin does that in my pretty extensive library... Totally worth it!

Good, but details missing
Definitiv great, but the higher you play, the more harsh the sound is. Most plugins have that. also, when u go low, there is too much bass free. I played many Hammonds in my life and had Leslies too. I know what I m talking about. This is good, don't get me wrong but the last final touch on all details is not done....

Really Useful Compressors
I am a guitar player and these compressors really do the job. Should be great for bass & vocals as well

Spot on emulation of the hardware unit!
This makes it hard to justify buying a hardware 224 for the studio…
J. Callahan
Outstanding sound quality
I realized just how good this plugin sounds when I tried it after the Arturia version (which sounds great) and was blown away.

A Compact B3 that sounds wonderful!
Fantastic B3 emulation that sounds super vibey and realistic! The GUI is not oversized and can even be made smaller (75% scale)! Huuuuge plus! <3 The only downside is the fact the Sound Settings (rotary mechanicals, organ key thuds, organ mechanicals and organ noise floor) are not stored in the presets! Manually setting this every time can be frustratin'. Because of that alone, I'm taking away 2 stars. Dear UA, please fix that! ;)

Why the modulation whether you want it or not
I've owned a heap of the originals and the wonky modulation is only in worn out ones with bad tapes or faulty or dirty capstan wheels. yeh sure its funky but you don't want it all the time, and it s not even random so stands out even worse on a sustained note. cmon Guys make the new tape switch get rid of the modulation. has no-one noticed this before?

Great but only UD version
Very good-sounding and easy-to-use compressors, but only in the UAD version, because the native version does not work when I am not connected to the Internet. Besides, I did many tests and clearly the UAD version sounds better and has a larger space - it is a very subtle difference, but you can hear it immediately with good headphones.
