The final revision made no changes to the circuitry, only the cosmetics and the layout. All the revisions to follow would maintain the same controls, but the red power light would disappear when the black faceplate was introduced. These 68 plug-in titles contain 110 individual plug-ins, which are listed below. If I had a desert island plugin list, this would be on it. Try it on your mix bus, piano, strings, or synths. At 249, you’re paying for what you get here. In my opinion, nobody else even comes close. Some plug-in titles are collections of more than one plug-in. The UAD Neve 33609 Compressor is hands down the best 33609 plugin out there. The rest of the design features two black plastic control knobs with silver tops and clear plastic collars, two smaller black and silver knobs, eight black plastic pushbuttons and a red power indicator light. Ultimate 10 bundle includes 68 UA-developed plug-in titles up to and including UAD v9.15. The output matching transformer at 600 ohms was a UA-5002 (later improved to UA5002A) with a split secondary, a tertiary winding for negative feedback to the final line output circuit, and a separate emitter winding.Ĭovering up all this electronic wizardry was a brushed aluminum faceplate with blue paint around the Weston meter. This plugin suite includes every UAdeveloped title in the UAD library for a fully stocked, authentic analog studio at huge savings. The output amp circuit was similar to the preamp, but followed by a 2N3053 bipolar transistor operating in Class A. The Ultimate 10 bundle features over 100 UAD plugins, with top-sellers from Neve, ® API, ® SSL, ® Fender, ® Ampex, ® Fairchild, ® Helios, ® and more.

The original 1968 design by Bill Putnam used an input transformer at the industry standard 600 ohms resistance (Peerless, later UTC), a T-pad resistive attenuator to drop the input voltage, a FET acting as a voltage variable resistor to control gain, followed by a bipolar transistor as a preamp (the famous 1108 circuit with a Darlington pair).
