UA 175B & 176 Tube Compressor Collection

Punch, warm, dirty (or not...)

Amazing!! warm, punch, dirty (or not), clean (or not).
On groovy drums, this plug is fantastical.

Warm sound

These sound good. Sound great. Warm things up. I have more compressor plugins than is healthy, and these get used a disproportionate amount. Not 5 stars because of some functionality things, like no option to have input and output knobs move simultaneously. But the sound? Can't fault that at all.

Great Compressor

Awesome pair of compressors, I love using them and by the way it has great presets.

Fantastic

Great compressors and both versatile for lots of different uses and applications!

great comps

Perhaps we all have too many compressors, but I find these sufficiently interesting and unique to change things up using them. Universal audio originally made these in hardware form, so it's fitting that I use them in this future world of software.

Grit

Really nice compressor and saturator too. Adds nice grit!

Bass bliss

Have so far been using on a Fender Jazz in Ableton, great sounding plugin and a pleasure to use. Love the range of UA. Excellent!

Just when I thought I had enough compressors

Wow, this sounds so good on everything, so glad I got it.

Sonic heaven

Black on bass… magic!

Good for software

Software compressors just do no at all sound like hardware. Eqs are close but not compressors. This thing does not sound 100% like my hardware 176. I would say it sound 30% or so like my hardware. But that is not too bad as most sound nothing at all like their hardware. This does not at all replace my 176 but I can put it on tracks not so important and it sounds better that a stock comp. I bought it on sale for $39. Good deal for that. But I would not buy it for full price. Save up and buy the real thing.

These compressors add so much life to the audio source

nice

very nice character. almost as if an 1176 and a LA2A had an offspring. acts somewhat like an 1176 in speed and control but has the flavor of a LA2A. quite the workhorse

Sexy

Awesome characther ,sounds amazing

The compressor team I didn't know I needed

Excellent choice to add some color

Warmth

This is a great source to add warmth. There is an additional plus point and that is thickening up of sounds. With a snare that seems to thin slap on and adjust to taste.

Unmatched depth and clarity

I couldn’t believe the sonic differences I heard from my synthesizers after these compressors were applied. Absolutely incredible hands down incredible

Received the native versions for free!!!!!

Someone in the comments mentioned that it’s similar to having the 1176 & LA-2A combo!!!! I must say that I definitely agree with him whole heartedly! I received them free in the UA connect app & now I don’t mix without them!
