Are quite good but this is at a whole different level! Of course the mechanical sounds are novel but they can be turned off . The overall effect is a close as you'll get to a real mic'ed leslie. I pretty just use the presets and there hasn't been a time I really needed much customization. Great on guitar too!! I look forward to experimenting on other sourcesA. Lind

Amazing emulator!
Space echo was something I've always wanted in my studio but age and prices of the hardwares always kept me thinking it twice! Well this is a problem of the past since I have purchased Galaxy tape echo! Simple to use with virtually limitless possibilities! Really fun to use and experiment with your sounds! Oh! And it sounds amazing!

Ravel plug-ins
Ravel plug-ins was not working for me. I was told that I need a DAW to lauch the Ravel . It's my bad that I didn't read the instructions carefully.

Unbeatable classic!
Works on everything and does it very well!

Finally getting into the Pultec World
I've been really digging into this plugin the last couple weeks, and I have to say I'm blown away. The realism and the versatility of it brings out the magic of individual tracks and on the mix bus just seems to pull everything together. I don't put very many plugins into every mix— but this has just joined the short list.

An essential collection
The 1176 classic limiter collection is a must have. Snappy compression with distinctive colour, and so versatile with it. I use this to tame just about anything, but especially on vocals and snare drums. The interface is simple and easy to use.
J. Walton
Sounds amazing.
Dude, this plug in sounds amazing on guitar. This is my go to for overdrive/distortion.

BEST OF THE BEST
Sounds as good as the original thing, but what else would I expect from UA!

Leagues above similar plugins I've tried.

99% am Original
Wir haben die Hardwareversion im Studio- es ist beruhigend das Original schonen zu können und das lästige Tapewechseln fällt auch weg.
Danke UA Team:)D. Phillips
It's Decent
Honestly, I love almost everything from UA, But this one misses the mark a bit.
It's very basic. Totally usable, but basic. I did really like the reverse piano pre set and will probably use that on something, but overall I have others I will probably create with first.T. Kelleher
Fantastic!!
Sounds better than comparable versions from other companies, and much better presets!
j. nieva
A must have
I really love how the 1176 works with the mid range of the sources, especially in parallel processings, you could go subtle on it but the results are very nice to me.Amazing treating drums and vocals, you can achieve different flavors and attitudes, no matter the music style you are mixing.
