The Pultec Passive EQ collection> Excellent
Way back in the 70's I remember going to a studio in NJ that had the Pultec EQ in their rack. I could not believe the sound they produced. Now UA has done an excellent job in making this series of EQ's that come the closest to that original sound I heard in that studio...This is a must have for a home studio and I could not be happier with this purchase...Wonderful and keep up the great work...Regards, Michael

Nice
Very good plugin ♥️
Thanks for the Native VersionJ. Grandberg
Great product for the money.
I have demo'd many of the other Pultec plugins and owned the new production hardware unit. This plugin version attempts more of the tube mojo than the others, and pulls it off as well as a plugin can. As with any plugin when you start layering saturators etc the signal falls apart somewhat; which is the physics of 0's and 1's vs real analog but buying this plugin anytime it's on sale is a no brainer. Yes you can shape that "Pultec curve" somewhat with other EQ's but sometimes simplicity is best. I'm glad I bought this, hope to own another hardware piece some day!

"Classic " for a reason
I was lucky to use an 1176 back in the 80's, primarily for radio promos and concert spots. The flexibility of the ratios, the simplicity in dialing in the sound, was an amazing moment of discovery.
Forward 40 years, still doing spots and promos. And amazingly, the 1176 "three-pack" plug-in's, offer all those options, and more-including the noticeable coloration differences.
Salute! to Bill Sr.'s genius, and to Bill Jr. and the family for continuing the legacy of UA's sound !P. Brovtsyn
Amazing musical instruments!

Awesome in the box moog
Sometimes when I am not in the studio and I don’t have my moog with me, this is just a lifesaver to get the amazing moog sound in the box.

R. MORNING STAR
This is more than just another synthesizer!
Excellent and high quality sound! Easy controls! And I will use this synth quite often I think.
R. MORNING STAR
Great sound !
I still can't believe I have a Moog. Excellent emulation quality! And very easy to use.

Is this a joke?
This plugin is.... bad!! It sounds bad. Specialy if you compare it to some (i would say dozens) of other piano libraries/simulations. I bought it in a bundle but i don't see me using it in a near future.

Increible
Bien, sencillamente, bien muy bien, los vst, de síntesis son muy buenos a la altura de cualquiera de los que hay en el mercado, y los efectos son increíbles, de nuevo me reitero, que invertir en UAD, es una apuesta segura, lo digo desde el convencimiento absoluto
Sois geniales
