Neve 2254/E. The Heart of the 80 Series Console
A vital ingredient to the original Neve 80 series consoles, the 2254 limiter/compressor modules' creamy dynamics was employed on thousands of hit records — adding weight and color to instrument groups and individual tracks. Using a diode‑bridge topology, the Neve 2254/E features separate compression and limiting circuits, and is perfect for "toning up" while applying dynamics control to any source.
A Painstaking Emulation
By studying historical schematics and original Neve 80 series service manuals, UA's team of engineers captured every nook and cranny of this prized piece of British kit. The Neve 2254/E Limiter and Compressor plug-in nails the original hardware's complex amp/filter behaviors, giving your individual tracks and stereo buses the same colorful, rich British compression of the classic Neve module. Plus, shape stereo buses even further using the Neve 2254/E Dual, with independent L/R parameter control.
Mix Bus Royalty. The Neve 33609/C
Sporting more transparency and flexibility than the Neve 2254/E, but still flaunting fat, unmistakably British diode‑bridge dynamics control, the Neve 33609/C has been strapped across the mix bus of chart topping hits since the '70s. From gentle coloration to brickwall limiting, this workhorse dynamics processor is a professional go‑to not only for music production, but also mastering, post, and broadcast applications.
New 33609 Features
With new "plug‑in only" features like Sidechain Filter, Dry/Wet Mix for easy parallel processing, and Fast/Slow Compress Attack switch, you can sculpt stereo instrument buses and your mix bus with startling precision and unmistakable Neve tone.
“The Neve 2254/E plug-in nails the classic, chunky sound of the hardware. Plus, its expanded controls let you transcend the creative possibilities of the original.”
– Damian Taylor (Björk, The Prodigy, The Killers)
“The UAD Neve 2254/E's smooth compression is exactly what I’ve been missing!”
– Vance Powell (Jack White, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs)
“The UAD Neve 33609/C is one of my top choices for parallel or mix bus compression.”
– David Isaac (Prince, Marcus Miller, Eric Clapton)
“The Neve 2254/E plug-in is a perfect parallel compressor for drums. It's one of my favorite compressors for backing vocals, and keeps them tight and upfront.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“The Neve 33609/C plug-in is incredible on piano, organ or your drum bus. Basically, anywhere you want that Neve color.”
– Ross Hogarth (Van Halen, Ziggy Marley, The Doobie Brothers)
“The Neve 2254/E plug‑in captures all the gooshy goodness of the original hardware. And with excellent updates like Wet/Dry control and faster release times, it's a real go-to for the mix bus.”
– Mike Poole (Robert Plant, Martina McBride, Buddy Miller)
“When I think thumpy, vintage, punchy drums, I think of the Neve 2254/E. The UAD version absolutely nails it. An amazing sonic tool.”
– Chris Zane (Passion Pit, St. Lucia, Holy Ghost!)
“The updated UAD Neve 33609/C Compressor offers a more precise, nuanced level of control, breathing new life into this plug‑in.”
– Damian Taylor (Björk, The Prodigy, The Killers)
“When you want to add style, color, and size, use the Neve 2254/E plug-in. It’s the classic recipe for vibe, especially on vocals and bass.”
– David Isaac (Prince, Marcus Miller, Eric Clapton)
“The Neve 33609/C plug-in delivers the same punchy tone and controlled dynamics of the hardware. The updated version offers new controls for even more flexibility.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“The Neve 2254/E compressor/limiter set the bar in the '70s for the "Neve sound." The UAD plug-in sets the bar for that same sound, in the box.”
– Ross Hogarth (Van Halen, Ziggy Marley, The Doobie Brothers)Customer Reviews

The 33 is a treat. Sounds so good.

Musically pleasing compression
I just tried the 2254 E Dual on a bunch of piano sounds from my Kurzweil PC4 and it really tightened them up nicely. Musically pleasing results without having to fuss around with the keyboard settings. It will interesting to hear what can be done with guitar tones out of my many FX/amp/cab simulations, which can often be almost there but not quite right in a mix.

A Stunning Emulation
Every time I think I'm out - you pull me back in! Damn, this 2254 completely blows the doors off of all the other 80 series compressor emulations out there. I just assumed the comp was too "vibey" to be made into a plugin. I didn't even bother to demo this when it came out because every version I've tried of this beast was so disappointing. I am so overjoyed to be proven wrong. And in case one does not use Luna but wants to hear some of that magical Neve summing you hear so much about, just put this on a buss, turn the comp and limiter to the off position and push your audio through this. What comes out is fatter, rounder, warmer, wider... better. But really, this is one of the finest "glue" comps out there. So feel free to put this on any track or buss that needs a compressor or needs to sound like you mixed your stuff on a vintage mixing console. Amazing.

This Is Why I Own 95 UAD Plugins
Using sales and bundles, I've acquired 95 UAD plugins -- average cost of $52 each. I buy so many because I'm not an expert so I need more choices. I was going crazy in a recent mix trying to find the right comp for my vocalist, and the usual LA 2A and 1176 combo was only ok, not great. She had a strong voice with rich undertones, and I wasn't doing justice to her. I tried every comp I had till I finally tried this one and it was like magic! I used the Crush Vocals preset and suddenly her voice came alive and moved forward in the mix. I'm so happy that I came here to write this review. Now I'm going back to finish my mix and hear my vocalist sound like butter!

Your Drums pretend this
The fact this is a sweet neve emulation could just let me finish this review right here, right now.
But this is something you want to go for in the first place!
Not easy to use, so just load and then cleverly tweak some presets. You'll be blown away.

Sweet Diode Bridge Vibe
In my opinion, most people really undervalue diode bridge compressors. They are my favorite sounding type of compressors, and these plugins really deliver on that sound.
There are times that other types of compressors suit an instrument better, but these have become my go to first thing to try when working on a new source.G. Johnson
Makes me wanna remix the last 5 records I've done.
Damn! Had 4 of these at the studio I used to be at for 20 years. This emulation shouldn't even be called an "emulation", it's that good! We used to use these on drums but I've been using them across my mix bus. If you love the sound of Big Star, Badfinger and late Beatles solo efforts this is one stop shopping. Like I said..."DAMN".
Š. Kominko
Fantastic.
Another excellent compressor. Fantastic.

Great!
Great Plugin!

Its deep
Have some learning curve and tryin to make a room in my mix

Classic.
The 33609 is a classic clean bus compressor/limiter. Slightly pumpy, but gives you the finishing touch on a 2-bus or stem. The 2254 is essentially similar with a bit more grit, and is excellent for rhythm guitar busses.
E. Dolzhikov
Graphic problems
The plugin sounds good, but why on my old macbook, instead of the GR indicator, there are images from the safary browser? Changed something in the video engine.
