Todo lo que uno puede necesitar en 1 solo Plugin.

Excelente Channel Strip. Con un preamp que te da un color analógico. Un Eq para darle el toque que cada uno busca y 2 tipos de compresores que puedes elegir usar según tu necesidad en la mezcla.

UAD Ruby '63 Top Boost Amplifier

I really like the plugin. It's very convenient that all the settings are on one tab, you don't have to waste time getting from the amplifier settings to the cabinet settings. I really like that there aren't a bunch of variations of knob settings, you sit down and write music, and don't sit and twist knobs for 2 hours. Amazing.
I would like to be able to turn off the built-in reverb in the plugin settings, so that when switching presets (I use a third-party reverb), I don't have to turn the reverb to zero every time.

High voltage British sound.....so fat

No other plug-ins needed, just control the guitar volume.
The good old days amp comes back to life.....amazing.....

Versatile

I worked with Hardware for a few years and loved using it for Voices, Bass, Guitar and now having it as a plugin is simply fantastic!

Turn it on and it sounds good out of the box

There must be some mojo to this one. It's somehow subtle and yet it improves the sound, so you miss it once its gone. I have more obvious tapes and distortion plugins, but this one becomes more and more my goto. Specially on acoustic guitars, which I use on almost every song. To me this plugin is very well done!

Saturates the vocals and adds even more "FAT" :) Perfect

I have an analog LA-610 MK2 on board, and it is always great for recording vocals and other instruments. But this combination in digital format for PC is a masterpiece from UA. When YA makes its analog devices into emulation "plugins" with a similar interface - it's TOP! Thanks UA!

Best of the UNISON Pre's

I was surprised that I preferred this over all the other UNISON preamps & channelstrips I have - it was a very nice surprise indeed. Thanks UA, another winner.

Excelente

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.

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

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.
