Good deal - about comparable with most of the UAD strips, price wise (both the 88RS and the SSL are $299)

After some fairly serious usage with them i think the EQ is definitely the star of the bunch, whether or not it’s UAD good is subjective i think but it has CHARACTER in bags with the drive switched in!! sounds like any other ‘digital eq’ without though i think. i used it on my warwick bass which was tracked through my pod using the ampeg svt with 8x10 cab and a bit of the pod LA2A sim, i used the UAD Studer A800 first, then the slate tube channel, the 601 EQ and then the 276 compressor at the end… i used the 206 comp over the bass group with the kick drum ducking it a db or so on a side chain… WOW!!! it’s the classic warwick sound but with a little more bottom end…that amazing ‘vocal/singing’ mid range and dark velvety, hollow bottom that only warwicks seem to have… the reason i got one in the first place!!!
There is something almost magical about the sound of a Warwick bass - my better half loves her one and it is easy to hear why as they do indeed sound beautiful. The main thing is that it is working for you though.
