Vintage feel Eq
Pultec Passive EQ Plug-In Collection I liked it immediately. I insert myself into Drums and vocal track and use it. Analog charm is full of smooth curve by nature.
I'd like to try it out by more various musical instruments.

Could anything possibly compare?
The Teletronix LA-2A Grey, might be the most important plugin in any of my mixes. I use it on Bass, Lead Vocals and Acoustic Guitars. It is also an important part of my Sub Master Bus (transformer only). For lead vocals it is amazing. Applied at the end of your Lead Vocal compression chain, the LA2A Grey could well spell the end of riding vocals. Its ability to transparently reduce the dynamic range of material without it being noticeable is amazing. A breathtaking plugin at worst. It is without question one of my most prized UAD plugins and an essential tool in any serious engineers arsenal.

An essential.
My first taste of aftermarket compression was the W****s CLA-2A and 76, and I used those bad boys on everything. When I invested in UAD my perceptions changed radically. These weren't just compressors, they were a way of life. My UAD 76 units went on everything in my mixes, and unfortunately my UAD LA2A's felt a little neglected. Until recently when I started making them my go to buss compressors. The grey on drum bus with it's medium speed, or LA-2 on the slower numbers make the whole drum sound for me. The silver's fast timing it great on bass/electric guitars. You can buy now, go an' try - you can pay me next week.

Low/mid cohesion
Well, I gave some 670 to the master busses of all ten tracks of a post-death/metal project with just a touch of compression (1-1.5 dB) and received a very valuable low/low-mid cohesion in return. It's a very pleasing sounding, useful compressor, I think, also for drum busses.

outstanding reverbs!
I learned mixing with berklee online and everybody got super crazy about my reverbs - always! All I ever used was the 224 for halls, chambers and plates, as well as the oceanway plugin for rooms and small halls. This combination is killer! I mean what else do you need?

It´s on!
Very good plugin! I use it on drums, guitars, vocal, bass... I really love to smack my snare with this as parallel compressor! Each time I use it, I like it more. I found myself turning it on and loving the tonal character, even when it isn´t compressing!
The three versions really make sense. You´ll get used to them, the longer you have the plugs in use, but won´t make any mistake in the meantime, as they all sound awesome.
I´m having them almost constantly on my vocals!

a must to have !!!
I can not compare it with the original, but I can hear how it sounds in my setup, warm and precise.It does what it needs to do a compressor. has its own character and its sound to be, like down the line LA2, LA3 and 1176. least in my opinion!

I love it and it is an essential compressor for my work
The Fairchild Collection sounds really good, I love it and it is an essential compressor for my work.

The Magic Box!
There's something just so special about this LA-2A collection. Two knobs...tone for DAYS! Usually I just set it when tracking through my Apollo to take off 1-2db of GR, just kissing the needle to catch those peaks. Oh man - absolute butter! Can't live without these plugs!

F%&king incredible!!
A twist here, a twist there, no harshness and everything starts sounding expensive in a human way. I was looking for a Pultec Style Hardware on ebay, now I'm looking for more dsp power. ;) Like it better than the Massive Passive. Thank you UA!! x ;)
A. Link
So useful for tracking
This is probably the only plugin I really need when tracking vocals. Reverb is nice but not always necessary, but a little LA2A compression with barely any latency is ALWAYS a good thing.

Simple & Effective
I just bought this plug-in and within minutes of using it on single tracks and the stereo bus, I realized why the dbx 160 is so popular and still regarded as a great compressor. It is so easy to use and has that fantastic, timeless sound. It is simplicity itself: Threshold, Compression and Output. Then there's that 'tried-and-true, old-school' sonic quality to it that most likely is the reason why it still continues to be widely used and is reviewed so favourably. I really like this plug-in. Looking forward to hearing it in action.

Just perfect!

Amazing collection
I tested a lot of compressor plugins but this collection is absolutely amazing! You can use these compressors for every kind of stuff and it sounds always awesome. I use them for a few months now and in every project. Great job UAD!

Easy use + great results = LA2A collection
Well, I bought it and love it. I think everything has already been said in other reviews, but I'd just like to second that: Easy to use and easy to get great sounding results - I really like the serial 1176+LA comp 'trick' on vocals and the LA's on bass, overheads and synth/strings.
M. Lara
Ideal for parallel compression
I really like to use 1176 to overcompress a send, I get extra loudness!

The Sound of Music
My main reason for buying a UAD card.
I remember when I was mixing the CD from my old band and, as much as I seek in Eqs that shining cymbals and the resonance of drums, and the bass presence as in my analog references, something was still missing.
After I sent my CD to the mastering, I did received my UAD and a A800 plugin.
Just one insert into the Drum Bus and anoter into Bass Bus.
All that I've searched during all Mixing time was there, at those two reels, to bring to digital domain all the harmonics and sonic sense of What we know as Music.
Today I use it also to my Mastering services, especialy to mix without this sound.
Try all the combinations of tapes and speeds to get the best result for you.

Memories are made of this
I have worked with the hardware for many years, it is still in my ears - and in my fingers, concerning the workflow. When I first tried the plug in, it was like tasting Prousts Madeleine. I immediately recognized the distinctive, noble sound of the Lexicon 224. It is like an instrument on its own. You don't just type in some values - you play with it, with the faders, in a very musical way. And, thanks to the digital domain, without (or even with, if you really want to go old school) the noise of the hardware. Incredible.
Thanks to you people at UAD for preserving the greatest achievements in sound and breathing new life into them. It keeps the palette rich and full of colours.
