    Best of to best

    This should have been the first UA amp I should have bought. This beats all other amp emulations UA has. It’s clear from clean to overdrive. Open. Not to bass-y like others.

    Really Digging It So Far!

    I tried the demo of this and after dialing it in and playing a few presets I decided to pull the trigger. Great tone for a plugin and it allows me to add some guitar tones I was missing without it in my library. Hint: Turn down your input on the Apollo and utilize the gain on the amp to get some nice cleans.

    This is the ONE

    Of all the “soft amps” in the market , this one has the most usable tones I’ve ever run across Its print ready.

    So many ways to tweak it . It’s hard to settle on one setting , because so many of its characteristics are fantastic ! It can give that blistering distortion , and also switch to a sweet , focused clean sound that most of these plugins just don’t have.

    Disappointed

    I listened to the demos and liked the sound. I should have used the demo first. At first glance it sounds good but trying to get a clean sound is impossible. I hit a chord and as it sustains this horrible distortion come in underneath the main tone. I have tried every setting in the model to get it to go away but it seems to be part of the plugin. Makes it unusable for pop or country tones which is what I was after. Use the demo first and make sure it will do what you need it to. I’m pretty disappointed, I own two Fuchs amps and they don’t have this defect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
