:-( I didn't have $2500 but I had $249 :-)
This reverb is awesome. The classic Lexicon 224 is still around after all these years. The price of the vintage unit is about $2500 or more. The vintage Lexicon 448 can be found cheaper sometimes.
So to have this unit for $249 was an amazing deal but I got it for cheaper with the store voucher coupon. Awesome.

Finally!
I have tried a few other 1176 plugins over the years, and I just couldn`t understand what all the fuss was about. They never really sounded good to me. I have never heard the real thing, but everybody whose heard it raves about it and I couldn`t get any good sounds out of any of them. They just got spiky when you pushed them har.
But now I get it. When I push these plugins hard they get warm and raspy or bright and punchy without getting fizzy or harsh. Good job!

Sweet Sound
I really love the sound of this beast! Really love the character the preamp can bring to synths.

a studio must.
along with the pultec and the 1176 the la2a is a studio must have. these plugin emulations come as close as possible to the real thing. beating out other emulations hands down.

a must
the 1176 is in every studio for a reason. and these uad plugins come a lot closer to the original than any other plugin variation of the 1176. get it. you won't be disappointed.

it's a pultec
having used the original a few times, and owning a few clones. this software emulation comes closer to the original than most other pultec clones i've come across. great job on a classic.

Almost magical results!
Quite recently I did a project involving the recording of an Iberian Pipe Organ, from the XVI Century. I used a Jecklin disc with two omni small cardioid mics. When listening back the same I found that the sound was quite natural but missing some more crispness. Tried several typical tools including EQ and exciters without success. Then I tried the Studer A800 plugin... Couldn't believe in the results. The non-linearities of the tape just did the trick! It looked like I'd multi-miced the Organ! Such fine detail! And still sounding absolutely natural! If tape alone works out magic, then there are no words to describe this plugin! UAD guys you touched my heart once again! Your plugins are worth every piece of my hard earned cash!

Real punch
This plug-in really is my go to tool for toning my drums ,the gate is so good and just using the pre am section adds to really character to your track . I highly recommend the for an all in one plugin

Great Comps
All these comps sound great. Each has something a little special about them.

My first choice now.
If I can't get the right limiting with this plug-in, then I'm doing something wrong. The 3 units that come with this collection can do what you need. You can squash things a bit without it sounding obvious (SMACK LE, I'm looking at you). I've been forcing myself to use UAD plug-in exclusively in my mixed lately and I'm finding that the end results are miles better than using my previous Waves bundle. I run out of DSP all the time on my Quad but Pro Tools 11's offline bounce/import to session feature makes it a non-issue. I like that I commit my changes faster with UAD. This plug-in collection, along with the Ampex, API Vision, and Pultec collection is all you really need to make a truly amazing sounding recording.

Awesome sound
I've never owned an actual hardware unit, but these compressors have an extremely musical, "big" sound to them, and I feel like the enhance the source rather than degrading it in any way or making things sound smaller, as some digital compressors and emulations seem to do at times. I like to use them for effective but subtle compression on lead vocals, acoustic guitar, guitar groups, backing vocals... A great set of compressor plugins, and if you get them while on sale the value is outstanding

This set works great and really makes things sit nicely. The LA-2 is especially great for getting a kind of aggression other compressors just won't do.

What I wanted
It's just what I wanted. That wonderful sound you use to listen in great pro recordings. Thank you :)

Great allarounder!
So far my absolute favorite in the bunch! From punchy vocals to cutting guitars to background vocals, drums room squash and bass compression this plugin does it so natural. Depending on which version one uses there is the opportunity of nice coloring also. +++++

Try it for yourself
The video demonstrations are OK, but not even close to working with this plugin on your own DAW and your own tracks. So try the demo, listen closely, play around, and you will NOT be sorry. I bought within hours of playing around. You won't need 14 days. haha Bought the AMPEX plugin too.

Amazing!
Where are the tubes?. Smooth on bass, clear treble. Great work UAD!. My favorite so far.
J. Jung
My Wonder Wall
Gives that beautiful roundness of a tube every time I put something into it. Nothing is harsh sounding and you just can't get bad sound coming out of it, as long as your recording is good. I've used the hardware version before and astonished to find that it does sound like it. I don't care if it does sound like the original or not, this thing does the job for what you need. Ace, UAD!
J. Rytlewski
clarity and depth
If you need to work fast to get a mix up and sounding great for me this is it .I find it easy to understand the meters translate to my ears and it just sounds classy !

Wasn't going to buy it at first.
I wasn't going to buy this at first, but had a coupon from the Octo Promotion. I'm glad i got it. Every aspect of this is a winner. I really dig the extra punch that chimes in with the EQ engaged, and the compression with cranking the Preamp.
It's not always the answer, but when it is, it is.
Great sounding piece!
