This Was A Major Surprise - The LA2 & Pultec Combo
I needed an affordable soundcard for some laptop work outside my main studio, so I opted for the UA Volt 1, the cheapest option available. That turned out to be a great purchase, well worth the price. Along with the soundcard, I received a bundle of free plugins, including the LA2. and the LA2A Gray and Silver compressors and the Pultec EQs. Over the years, I've accumulated numerous plugins, but I don't even install most of them anymore. For the past seven years, my go-to EQ has been Fabfilter, which is functional and does the job. For compression, I usually rely on Ableton's stock plugins simply because all my other comps are no better. I spent years searching for plugins with that elusive "mojo," and I had basically given up and made a decision I wasn't even going to bother downloading the bundle.
But one evening after using the soundcard for about two weeks I thought, OK I will check them out, expecting the usual underwhelming results. Plugins downloaded, fired up a session and to my major surprise, I found myself very quickly impressed. I started applying the LA2A compressors and Pultec EQs on various tracks and very quickly replaced all other comps and Eqs in the session with the LA2s and Pultecs. Just initiating the LA2's without adjusting anything seemed to hit the mark every time - and still does.. The EQ;s I was pushing to max and still track elements sounded good. However, I told my self its just my imagination, after all I've been here many times before and its probably just that placebo effect of thinking something sounds great and the next day I will know its just my imagination. But the next day the session still sounded good, and what I was hearing suspiciously sounded like Mojo. I was beginning to realise the plugins had genuinely helped me improve the sound. The mix had a vibe reminiscent of what I used to achieve with analog consoles, and the compressors added a cool, pumpy quality to the tracks. Even when over pumped, still sounded good - It was just more vibe.
But because years of reality hitting and the ultimate come down I was still thinking this newfound enthusiasm will wear off because that's what always happens. But, that's not what happened. I've continued to use the LA2A and Pultec plugins in every session since. I'm actually enjoying EQ'ing and compressing stuff - Imagine that!. Yes, I also hear that 3D thing others talks about in their reviews.. Coming from someone who had grown jaded with plugins over the years, believe me, this is a significant endorsement.
I don't know what magic the UAD coders have worked, but to me these plugins are very musical and have legit Mojo. And you know what's also great about them - no fancy flashy distracting Guis which force you to mix with eyes. Needless to say the coders have done a 10+ star job. I've never owned the original hardware, but have owned some emulations in the past and these plugins outshine others by all others I have tried or owned by a huge margin. The fact that I got them with a £100 soundcard, which also included a decent Plate Reverb, an Echo (not really my style), a channel strip, and a Synth, is incredible. But its the LA2A and Pultec plugins that are the true stars of the bundle though and its well worth picking up the Volt 1 just to get the plugins.. They are now my absolute and only go to EQ and Comps and only if I need to get very surgical will I fire up the Fab.

Good Bus Comp
It's a good bus compressor. Plenty of room for makeup gain. The shape control is also very nice and effective.

Really Nice
A very lush sounding unit/plugin. Definitely that Lexicon sound. I like both Lexicon plugins available right now.

Seems better than the original
I never liked Lexicon reverbs when they were the big guy in town. They were a massive standard, and well, sounded... standard, which, in music production, is a very bad idea. In this plugin form, lost among many, many others, they have a place and a distinct personality, which make them usable again.

great rotary emulation
as a hammond player, I found this plugin great for studio recording, when it's not possible to have a real leslie.
it obviously sounds very good with real hammond organ, but it makes digital clonewheels sonding better too.

さすが本家の７６コンプです
他社でもいろいろ出ていますが、このプラグインには敵いません。実機はUREI 1178を長年使ってきましたが、見事な質感です。良い意味で悪い部分も再現しています。アナログらしく音が破綻する部分も良い感じで再現しているので、ちゃんと設定しないとだめですが、各バージョンごとに同じ設定でも違うテイストが出ています。

Excellent (what else could it be)
Very good late 70's type of lexicon sound.
It isn't 480 though, it is somewhat different sound. I think you need both.

Pultec EQ bundle
Excellent EQ bundle, they're much more useful than you'd think. No regrets here. This is the best one I've heard. And it's doing the Pultec boost attenuate punch quite well.

Century channel strip
It's got a decent tube preamp sound, additional compression and EQ sections. Can be turned up to distorted sounds if preferred

Simple and crystal clear!
Like everything Universal Audio does, this plugin is also awesome, simple and crystal clear, it delivers fantastic results, all you need is a good instrument, excellent performance and a set of honest microphones that are not necessarily the most expensive. I never stop being surprised with each new acquisition with UAD.

The best emulation on market
Having used real LA-2As, I can confidently say this is the best LA2A plugin collection by far

Musical favourite!
One among the most musical EQs that I’ve used. The mastering EQ especially lives on my master channel.
