Must Have
These plugins are amazing. Brilliant sound,analogue-warmth-feel,especially from oldest LA2A. If pushed to limits,adds nice distortion to keys,rhodes.
One of the best from UAD

Now I Get It
I had the first UAD Pultec, and, meh. A little sweeter than my DAW's parametric, but generally not worth bogging down the UAD card (I need the power for the many Studer and ATR-102 instances). Got the new version, and now I understand why folks pay so much for hardware Pultecs. It's not the most pinpoint-accurate of EQs, but sweet, sweet, sweet.
It's worth it to use it in conjunction with a parametric if you need a little more precision in an area. Audibly livens the track just putting it in the chain, just like the real thing. Really helps glue my mixes together. Love it!

Silky smooth vocals
The Pultec Passive EQ is fantastic on vocals or just run your mix through with no EQ´ing

Love the options
I was completely blown away with the warmth and differences between the units. True to hardware form, it's like having three different LA2A's in your rack. Would highly recommend. I think this is the best 2A plug out there.

Worth upgrading
Picked this up on sale, big tonal improvement over the original, highly recommend.

These are sweet!
I purchased these along with the 1176 bundle, and this family of comps really do have a real vibe not present in the usual plug in toys found in your garden variety DAW platform.

Best Mellow Compressor!
Transparent, Thick, Warm. I'm Happy =) You can't even tell it's there.

Worth the improvements
I like the larger GUI on the Pultec collection and the ability to use the three components separately or together depending on the task. Example; the HLF-3C on it's own can be used to easily dial in a filtered effect that sounds great. It doesn't just "do the job", but somehow adds some magic. I had previously bought the Legacy Pro version and was a little dubious about buying the plug again, but I am not sorry. Technology sprints onwards and UAD's improvements capitalise on the emerging possibilities. I look forward to any session using the Apollo software. Addictive!

UAD nail it
congratulations UA for listening to your customers and updating the Pultec with your latest algorithms and programming, something we have been calling for on forums and in surveys. And for giving current owners of the original UAD Pultec a break on the price. That is truely looking after your customers and keeping them happy! i cannot recommend the new Pultec plugin enough. There are plenty of lookalike emulators but only one original and that is the UAD version!

Sonic Deliciousness !
This is my favorite EQ by far! It's a brilliant tone shaping device.
J. Valentovich
better than legacy
i loved the legacy series EQ had to try the new version was not disappointed this thing sounds great.I use it on drum buss gives the kick a little more balls, Bass guitar same ,this is the ticket for a great sounding EQ.can't beat the December price

Nailed it!!
I can not say enough about UAD plugins. They're in a whole other league by themselves. The LA-2A on vocals is pure magic. I use them on just about every session. This combined with my 1176 is when magic happens! Wonderful job UA! You guys are the best.....really

A Must Have
Pure magic. I love running signal through it without compression just to get the tone of these units. Three lovely tones indeed!
I. Johansson
Excellent and easy to use !!!
Yet another UAD plugin that brings the sound
Out of the speakers. Easy to use hard to go
Wrong with rhe Pultec "bundle".

Slamming / Amazing
Unreal / warm / liquid - this is possibly the best device UAD have converted. Lots of colour and lots of character.
When it's pushed it brings out air and depth - and can be tweaked to make crushed/brickwalled drums sound insane...
If you work with electronic or acoustic - this device is a must for getting that vintage slamming limitation.
Y. Hara
It is effective to tight
Those before compared to, it depends on the band which we would like to apply securely.Great EQ!!
V. Andreev
This is a big help in work
My opinion - an excellent quality imitation persisting instrument. Get the quality detailed sound. This is a big help in work. I this likes.
G. Cordovez
Great Eq
I always loved the legacy pultecs, they added a nice vibe to the tracks!!!....but now this guy is a beast!....it feels 3D...awesome for a plugin!

The real thing?
I have to admit: I've never used an original Pultec, let alone seen one in real life. So; I don't know how the real thing sounds. However, I've always trusted my ears when it comes to sound, and having used both UAs former version and the T-Rex one, I must say that this EQ is by far the most harmonic and sweet sounding. Any which way you turn the knobs, something sweet comes out.
The first track I used it on was a drum bus, and WOW - the drums punched through with both present mids, shiny trebles and punchy lows. After that practically any source has been tested with the Pultec, and there's no turning back.
What an outstanding peice of sound sculpting tool! Is it like the real thing? I don't know, and I don't care! It's just great! :-)

LA-2A Review
I truly love those LA-2A. I used them ofen on vocals, bass and drum tracks. In my opinion the best is silver version.
