Wonderful tool!
Replaced my Pultec/Studer mixbus rack. Just set the Sweeten machine to 40, warble to 7 and you're ready to go. Only 4 stars because you didn't include a MIX button.

Sounds great on bass!
Sounds cool but a mix knob should be a must on something like this then it would be a 5 star review.

Needs a mix knob
This plugin makes some nice sounds, but the lack of a mix knob makes it much less useful. I can send to it on a bus, but that's a lot hassle for a plugin whose whole charm is that it's really simple. Using a bus also means I can't freeze the plugin and I have to worry about phase. Please add a mix knob after the output trim!

I mostly use these when I'm using synths or drums to fatten or distort the sound.......works pretty good.......

A+++++ Cool sounds!
L. de Marco Freitas
It's kinda ok. But there's better options within UAD plugins.
It's a fun little plugin, but I regret buying it. Don't get me wrong, UAD makes some awesome audio plugins, but this one is kinda gimmicky... anyway, you can achieve way better results with other of their offerings, it only will require more work and knowledge. It's my fault I fell for it.
Anyway, I guess you can still use it sometimes to have some fun, or to go outside of the box if you're stuck and ran out of ideas.A. Ponomarev

noo...
Have only the essential version - after trying that and the trial version I found it doesn't add anything I would like to have in my mix (ambient music). Too few options to tweak the sound; i found I rather don't use it.

The Past Is Future And Fun Again
When CDs first appeared, they were lauded as so clean, and would stay clean for ages, without hum, pops, or scratches unlike records, and with unchanging sound, unlike cassettes. But we soon felt there was something* just out of our perception of sand that was missing.... Some very smart people got on the case and over the years, discovered that the very reason we bought CDs in the first place was one of the elements missing from the experience of music. Not hiss or rumble, but subtle distortions and interference that made the sound *rich* to our ears. They called it warmth and they were right. Verve Analog Machines help bring that warmth in subtle -- and not so subltle ways. Good one, UAD!

1 plugin, many flavours. no wet/dry knob
my DAW has wet/dry knob for every fx, so no problem for me.
i used this plugin almost on everything and happy to have it in my arsenal.
strange GUI? maybe, i do not care.
Perfect!
Love it, the simple way it works is perfect for my workflow without needing to stay a lot tweaking knobs

My new go to sweeteners
I was wondering why some people have given bad reviews on this plugin. It is actually really good. in the beginning, I almost fell into the thought that "this funny looking things" cannot be any good. But I could not contain myself to give it a try; and i did! to my surprice, this is now an actual asset to my arsenal. Who would have though....!

You can easily choose the tape effect.
Although detailed settings are not available, you can easily find a tape effect that suits you from a wide variety of presets.
For me, this effect is very useful.J. MacDonald
Using prolifically
These little machines are an unexpected secret sauce. I insert them immediately after an instrument before any other effect and they make for a simple way to add life to most sounds. Verve has become a go-to when I want to diversify the character of an arrangement.

Love it
Sounds great on everything

Nice flavours
Been enjoying using this plugin a lot! It's a real character machine, easy to use, and the results always seem to sit well in a mix. Sometimes you don't need a lot of tweakable options to be a really useful tool, case in point.....the LA 2A. Not much to play with, it just works....really well!

Amazing sounds made easy.
Personally I love the sounds I am getting out of this. But being an old analogue freak I would have loved a great retro design, and the producer in me would have loved to be able to dial in more, getting more into the nitty of things.
This is made for kids, great fun, easy to use, sounds truly amazing but if it is the avenue for someone like UA to take? I am not so sure, it is retro starwars vs. lego, and I would hate to see things going Disney.
