El Teletronix LA-2A es mi segundo en serie en la cadena de vocales (El primero es el 1176). Utilizo el modo "Silver" porque me brinda una calidez increíble y combinado con el 1176 me permite controlar los picos mientras suavizo la dinámica general.
Tanto el 1176 como este LA-2A, los utilizo de como plugins nativos. Estoy ansioso de que saquen pronto los EQs API en versión nativa, porque de momento debo usar los de otra compañía.J. Mora S.

Good!!!
I have original hardware and it is very very close!!!

Sounds pretty good, but WTF, it's noisy as hell
You have to choose the gain and eq carefully or it loses its analog vibe quickly. There is no way to attenuate the noise. How about a switch just to turn the noise off? To rub it in, UA offers no noise gate of its own. I would have to run through something like Buxom Betty just to get a working noise gate which of course is stupid. I'm not particularly thrilled with UA or the Ruby.

Why is the free version bundled instead of the full version?
Just bought the essentials bundle, and only got half of this plugin, plus an advertisement. Disappointed

Like my own hardware
Its so excite to have in a plugin my lovely LA-610. The sound is so similar and familiar to my ears. Thanks UA!!

not great
gain stage is a mess, sound is brittle, not a lot of settings (if the sound was great, wouldn't need but...) and no DSP. When compared to other native brands on pricing/features/sound, I can only give it one star.
M. Smith
Wonderful chimey tones!
Already have the Ruby '63 pedal and the ability to have those exact sounds from a plugin were too hard to resist. In my opinion Ruby '63 has more life and feel to the sound than any other competitor Vox style amp sim I've tried, hardware or software... The buy 3 deal made Lion & Dream plugins a solid option too and both are equally excellent. I hope the Woodrow '55 comes soon, as that's now the missing piece in my DAW

Needs more features to compete with modern amp sims
I was thrilled to see this excellent pedal being ported over to a plugin. Unfortunately, I could not get a "sound" out of it after scrolling through many presets; then I realized I had to turn up the output ALL THE WAY to get this into the realm of actually hearing it. Seems like the output gain structure needs adjustment. Most importantly, it is lacking key features that have become standard among other amp sims, notably:
1. the ability to change which mic is on which speaker model/cab
2. the ability to change the angle and/or distance from the speaker
3. guitar pedals before the amp input
4. EQ post amp output
Comparing this to Softube Vintage Amp Room, Neural DSP's Morgan Amps, STL Tonality and STL Tonality Andy James AC-30 sims, it leaves a lot to be desired. Also, if it is called Ruby, shouldn't the panel be Candy Apple Red?J. Brierre
Dope!!
UAD didi it again this time with a very good sounding VST !!

SO GOOD!
I'm seeing a lot of complaints about these amp Sims but I think this ruby amp sounds amazing...thanks UAD!
U. Sabiniewicz
Thanks, good.
It suddenly appeared in my Spark subscription, and I'm very happy with it. Yes, sounds like a mic'd AC30, waiting for the Unison version its worth to buy it.
