Marshall® Plexi Classic Amplifier
The undisputed alpha dog of rock and roll guitar amps, the Marshall “plexi” amplifier is as legendary as the music it helped create. From Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, Duane Allman to Eric Clapton, the Plexi’s punishing melange of snarl, sustain, smoothness, and raunch defined the sound of rock. Developed by Softube, the Marshall Plexi Classic Amp plug-in gives you the sound of this iconic amp with a perfectly placed microphone from engineer Tony Platt who recorded AC/DC’s Back in Black and Highway to Hell.

Ampeg® SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp
Introduced in 1969, the Ampeg SVT bass amp is still the reigning king of high-powered tube bass tone. Developed by Brainworx, the Ampeg SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp plug-in perfectly captures the raw power and punch that has made this the go-to amp for rock, funk, and soul players. Track in real time using Unison™ preamp technology for the tone, touch, and feel of a real SVT bass amp, or transform bland DI tracks with the thunderous roar of a stone cold classic.
Precision Mix Rack Collection
Featuring the Precision Channel Strip, Precision Reflection Engine, and Precision Delay Modulation plug-ins, the Precision Mix Rack Collection offers four modern, high-fidelity plug-ins for recording and mixing. Powerful and intuitive, Precision Mix Rack Collection gives you an impressive tool set — perfect for beginners and seasoned professionals alike.
Raw Distortion
Modeled from a vintage early-’80s Pro Co Rat, Raw Distortion delivers all the gritty dynamic raunch of the legendary stompbox. And with Unison™ technology, you can plug in to Apollo Twin, 8, or 8p’s front-panel Hi-Z instrument jack and experience the same circuit interaction, gain range, and clip points for the true tone, feel, and response of the original hardware.

Awesome
I did plenty of research before buying this product and it stands up to its reputation. I saw the Apollo making cameos in so many videos featuring music industry giants that I figured it had to be good. There are plenty of other units out there that are great but I would have been wondering what I was missing, so I bought the best. Very happy with the sound and build quality.

Awesome audio interface
I do not have enough words to describe the quality of the product. The best audio interface on the market.

想定外の素晴らしさ
ギター演奏環境のデジタル化でオーディオインターフェイスの導入を検討しはじめたのですが、オーディオ関係の仕事をしていたこともあり、音には妥協できず、BABYFACE PROやElement、iD22あたりも候補に入れて、予算も含めて検討しました。実際にサンプル音源を聞いた結果ではAPOLLOは解像度の面で、候補に上げた他の機種の中では、やや劣る感じは受けたものの、UADプラグインに魅力を感じ、APOLLOを購入させて頂きました。結果は大正解でした。UADプラグインの影響がどれほど大きいのかは、はじめてのオーディオインターフェイスなので分かりませんが、ギターの音の良さ（アナログ的な質感）は絶品だと思います。楽器や音声の音を密度高く（特に中域の表現）、暖かく、生々しく表現できるのはプラグインも含めたオーディオインターフェイスの機器のような感じを受けました。私にとっては、これしかなかったのかなと思っています。

Unbelievable!!
Okay I've been using and happy with my old interface for years. Served me well. So when I friend and Apollo user told me how much better my setup would be with the Apollo I didn't believe him. If it's not broke, why fix it. Then I started researching how the UA plugins work in conjunction with the unit and how it takes the strain off the CPU. That got my attention. So after weeks and weeks of research, talking to people, watching videos, I decided to take the leap. The Apollo turned out to be a great purchase. First of all the sound is better. Simple as that. And I didn't have a cheap interface before, it was near the top of the heap. Having the unit do a lot of the heavy lifting as far as UA plugins was a no brainer. Everything ran smoother. And as a stanch Pro Tools user I'm actually starting to use the Luna software as much or more than PT. This company has it figured out. My whole recording process has become more efficient and that's what it's all about. Worth the investment.

the perfect lockdown tool

i bought only for to use this interface an 300euro mainboard with tb2, and then i realized i cant bypass my hardware! i got a la 610 MK2,and a avalon 737sp as hardware thats really sad for me..next- point is i already own the unison plugin UA-610-B, i wanted to buy the A version, but it doesnt letting me, we can only buy as bundle, why should i buy the bundle if i already own 1 plugins of this bundle? why i cant buy only the solo plugin UA610-A??
the last - point is, if i use my studio mic on discord, skype or Teamspeak on windows, every of my frieds hearing, loud crackling sound when i speak! on daw i cant hear any crackling sound everthing is fine on daw, but discord, skype etc. this crackling sound is very useless for me, well im guess im done with uad. if u guy`s are mac user and no hardware user then buy this its sounds very amazing but like i said i am a hardware user i just wanted an nice Ad to Da converter to use my hardware togehter with uad plugins on WINDOWS 10 64 Bit.

a grip a little complicated because no documentation in French, but despite everything the test is very conclusive with an excellent sound quality, certainly still a lot to discover and I advise those who like good sound to pass the not and discover this Universal Audio MaterialN. Ibañez
Great Upgrade
I've been thinking for a long time about getting an Apollo Twin. After years of using my old interface I joined the UAD team. So far I am very happy with my Apollo Twin QUAD, especially with the possibility of recording in real time and being able to use the DSP for its wonderful plugins. As a critic I think that many plugins consume too much DSP, because in spite of having a QUAD many times it gets complicated. Beyond that I love my new product
