Just like the pedal hardware
These interact with the guitar just like the pedal hardware. Unison impedance matching on the Apollo is a nice feature. It makes session recall nice being able to store settings digitally. Price is a little high given what the pedals go for on the used market, but that’s the only complaint.

MUST HAVE for the guitarists
I used the real hardware of these in the past. The plugins truly represent the actual hardware. I love them and recommend the guitarists to have them as plugins.

Great Sound, Great Value.
These sound REALLY close, I'm not sure many people could actually tell the difference. AND they are pretty iconic gear.
Can you find these cheaper? Sure! But you don't need to worry about dying batteries, noisy power supplies, tracking down which cable is bad or noisy, or running over to the pedal to twist a knob! AND you can use one on more than one channel (i.e. two guitars and a snare drum with Tube Screamers).
Pricey? Maybe, but remember: everyone's tastes are different. Some people don't like spicy food. You get a 14 day trial to test drive them to see if YOU like them.
Only things I can think of to make them better: 1) an adjustable sag to simulate a dying battery. 2) Remote on/off control in the Console so the player can switch them.

Excellent pedal effect
Really like the effect of the Raw and I’ve applied to many different sounds structures. No limits and a must for any producer or sound designer.

Lots of crunch !
I own a plexi and a TS-9 Tube screamer. The plugin emulations don't really sound the same but I can still dial in a cool over the top distortion when I need it !

Amazing!
This is a goldmine! Three amazing pedals in really good emulations. Even the non bypass signal from the Tube Screamer is there, which happens to sound really nice! Awesome!

sound good but need MIDI remote
the three pedals sounds amazing. But... please add a MIDI support to map the bypass on a MIDI pedal board. The sound was very important, but the second advantage of the pedal is to leave the hand of the player free for remote it by foot... why this capability is not emulated?

Fat, Warm & Rich
I haven't been lucky enough to try an original Big Muff Pi, let alone one form the 60's which this one is modelled from. What I can say is that it provides a warm, sweet fuzz.....even with just the tone & sustain controls you can get a very wide variety of sounds....impressed. I use this guy as a unison plug then going into the Marshall 2203. happy days :)

Extra grit !
I used the tube screamer on a recent track with the Bluesbreaker and I got the extra sustain I needed without the unwanted fuzz.
W. Music
Great!!
These pedals together with the Friedman DS are all you need to get the tone shaping needs! Couldnt be happier. Good Job!

Does what it says on the can.
I like these pedals a lot. They are super useful, especially when used in conjunction with a quality amp sim.

TS808最高
アポロの前に実機のTS5をつないで、その後ユニゾンにTS808をとか、TS808をダブルでとか、笑うしかないな。
後、このバンドルでしか買えないビッグマフも良い。セールで買ったからお得感満載
M. Antonides
Useful for lots of things
Great trio of distortion flavors that can be used on many things besides electric guitar. They may not sound 100% like the hardware, but they are so much more versatile as a plugin. They don't always sound great at all settings or with every guitar, but the same is true of the hardware. I give 4 stars because they are pricey unless on sale (same is true of all UAD plugins IMO) compared to the competition.

Like the real thing
Beeing a guitarist for 35 years, these plugs sound as awesome as the real thing. Maybe better!
B. Krueger
Upgrade for guitar emulations
This package was a big upgrade for my guitar emulations. Sounds especially good on the Fender 55.
