Game Changer
This is a great channel strip the Avalon VT-737 is one of the most sought out pieces of gear and you will find it in almost every major studio I don't own the hardware piece but have used it in the past and this plugin is darn close so transparent I love it I use it mainly on vocals but a great weapon to have in your arsenal.

This is the real deal
Very very musical compressor, an eq that seems to be made to make tracks fit into the song context and a preamp that improves every sound source. This is a valuable plugin that really makes a difference. Thank you very much!

I Welcomed This Plug-in!
I have been hearing a lot about this channel strip for years! What an awesome addition to the UA line up. This plugin definitely filled in the whole for the Gospel, R&B, Rap, and Hip/Hop Genre! Goo move UA!

Avalon VT-737
For me Best software EQ for vocal.It can be pressed hard, but it still sounds very musical !

Perfect Emulation, well done uad
The opto-compressor and sweep equalizer emulations are 99% the original unit.
I gave uad 10/10.

Real Vs the Plug
It was sort of romantic to see my AV737SP appear on the latest update of UA-2 plugs. I have run a matched pair since 1997 and love the timbre these units provide. Whilst the +10dB gain boost to the valve-stage embeds some greater "velvet" than the plug I am very happy the "Baby-Face Mod" has been included in the software.
I had my units modified many years ago to multiply the compressor attack time by 4, making the units far more versatile than the stock fastest time of approx' 2 ms.
Love this company's attention to detail - Congrats UA.

All-in-one unit
I don‘t know why they emulate such an all-in-one unit? There already are better vocal compressors available on UAD and do we really need more EQs? Of course you can get some decent quality from this plugin but we also can get that when using the stuff we already have. Not a must-have for me.

Finally
Back in the day i had one of these bad boys...but after it broke down and got fixed it never sounded the same again.
But finally i never have to worry again.
Fantastic modelling paired with the digital workflow is a blast!
thanks uad...

Amazing on vocals
This plugin really brings out the high crispyness in a voice in such an amazing way, adds a nice warmth as well! Not too crazy about it on guitar or bass but sounds good on drums as well.
My only issue is the overall volume is pretty low and Sometimes I don’t want to crank the pre gain that much. I notice it the most using mic to record things other then my voice a little bit farther away like percussion, claps, etc . In those examples I tend to use a different compressor and turn off the avalon compressor. To my ears the avalon compressor sounds best on drums and maybe bass (although I prefer the voxbox for that)

I know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.
Actually, I don't but what a great title for a review! The UA Avalon VT-737 is a solid addition to the growing stable of pre-amps from UA. I use the Neves quite a bit and have had interesting results with the darker Helio Type 69. The Avalon has a warm, round character that mates well with vocals and soft acoustics. A buddy of mine who plays bass has used the hardware for years in his rig so it'll be interesting to compare the two.

great job
excellent work as always UAD. Small request tho. The 737 has been used heavily in R&B and Hiphop since it came out. No offense to the engineers you used for presets, but can we see some engineer presets from those who specialize in hip hop, r&b? There are many out there and this unit would have been perfect to see how they use this box....

Masterpiece
Amazing, seriously!
Very useful in many situations... vocals, busses, mastering, etc.
I believe UAD captured the original very well.

Lange darauf gewartet
Ich muss sagen echt wow genau das hat mir gefehlt er macht die Rap Vocals genau so wie sie sein Müssen fett.!
P. Chernyshov
Useless thing
The compressor is useless ... Equalizers are better on UAD ... Why is it?
J. Lowery
Authentic
Crisp and tube-ey...just like the hardware. This is a must-buy. Thanks for listening UA!
A. Akinjero
Amazing!
The UAD Avalon 737 seems to be that missing radio ready gloss that when you put on vocals especially, you will not realize how amazing it is until you take it out! Then if you are not self deceptive, without being told you just put it back immediately. I am very impressed.
