Ua do it again!
I was seriously considering buying a 500 series pultec style eq.
Until I heard the pultec collection at work. The legacy model is fantastic I agree, but the collection has everything you need in eq plug ins! It's character too is undeniable. Great plugs, great sound I'm sold!
Would be as well selling all my hardware and other plugins the way ua is making these!

More subtle than the 1st version
Great EQ!!! I use it on most projects-not all! This and the original version of the plug definitely have a "thing" gong on in the high mids. More subtle and refined on the new version though!
There's a cool thing that this does on a buss that almost gives the illusion of doing something really cool to the stereo field, which it isn't messing that up at all. If you have a mix that is kinda meh sounding throw this on and check it out, you literally don't have to set anything. Just running it in the signal path will color it in a cool way!
Should have been a free upgrade though!

My Go To Compressor
I love this emulation! It gets more use than any other compressor I have. Absolutely stellar!!!!!! Should it get a 5 star review, yes! Should it also be a free upgrade to users of the old version, YES! Minus one star!
Used it on the front end to squash a picked bass track and add some grit-stunning! Used it for subtle compression on acoustic guitar, great! Beautiful job on this!

Good, not great
This is a really good upgrade to the UAD 1 version. I find myself using it less often though. I can't tell if it's the love affair I'm having with the newer 1176 revision or I'm just not that bowled over by this one!
On vocals and acoustic guitar (if I want "that" sound) it's really good, but when I need gooey color I'll find myself using the new Fairchild more often.
I also think all these "revisions" should have been free for the users that actually bought the original version (maybe not the folks who got it for free though?)! Considering this is my 3rd UAD device (2 previous ones discontinued), I've invested quite a bit into the company! Funny they decided to give 1/2 of the 610 plug for free to Apollo users. Kinda weird!

Aways API
The API sound is wonderful! I am impressed by the warmth and precision of this plugin. I would recommend without a doubt.

toneshaping
a great toneshaping tool, that can create lovely Fuzzy highend, rounded bottom and Dimension to the sound.

workhorse
these compressors are powerful shaping Tools, I can get up to 5-7db of reduction before it breaks apart - thats alot for a software compressor.

API Vision Channel Strip Plug-In
I have already UAD Neve 88RS which I use often and much, and now after the demo test, I bought API Vision Channel Strip Plug-In because I receive new colors and opportunities (first of all it is finite
preamplifier 212L) for my operation. Further is a tremendous universality of this plug-in (all in one) and flexibility of settings that defines its character
and surprising musicality of the received results.
Universal Audio bravo! As a result, for reasonable money, I received one more very powerful, generalpurpose tool for my mixes.

Clarity and Warmth
Love this emulation. Gives everything a clarity and warmth that I love.

This plug lives on my 1st FX buss!
I use this constantly! Altiverb used to be my go-to reverb, and this has replaced it.
The modulation feature is really great for thickening up reverbs (not totally natural sounding but still great). I believe Altiverb is a bit more natural sounding, but the UAD Lexicon seems to sound much better on mixes.

A tool that does what it shoud do
Sure everybody wants a Pultec style eq? Well for what reason? In my opinion it all about size, what a real tube amp could bring to the table!
We all trie to make the loudest and fatest mixes and there is plenty of ways to get there. But to strap a pair of pultecs on the drumbus or on the mixbus has it's very own way of adding a third dimension, fuller bas and a airy top.
Now with some of the harmonic content emulated its finally possible to use this sort of tool very early on in the mix and save the real deal for the masterbus. Also makes the recall part more speedy as you only has to patch up your analoug masterbus chain.

Great Compression
Just like the real thing. I haven't had the opportunity to A/B the real thing against these emulations in one sitting, however, these plugins sonically please my ears just as much as the 1176 Rev A and E do. I'm a big fan of these plugins and use them in so many of my mixes. If you own the 1176 from the Analog Classics Legacy bundle and are thinking that you are set as far as 1176 style compression goes, you need to pick up this bundle. I'm not much of an advocate of plugins over using hardware, but how many of us can really afford to go out and drop several grand on a few 1176s that might have the sound we're looking for. An affordable alternative that go far above and beyond the 1176 that comes in your AC bundle. Give it a try.

Real Punch
Love this plugin. To my ears, it adds the most noticeable punch and presence of any of the channel strips, and has really useful routing and presets. Though I don't have a lot of experience with the API hardware, it's hard to imagine that it could sound better.
M. Martinez
its like heaven
This plug in Makes everything sound Simply Beautiful! and add a fatness all around the sound and echo i couldn't see myself not using this after trying the demo.. Worth every penny!!
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!
Y. Picard
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...
