While they’re common in 2017, twenty years ago most channel strips were still found in the place where they derive their name, on a mixing console. I will highlight those exceptions when applicable below.

With a few minor exceptions, the software and the hardware VOXBOX are completely identical in look and function.
#UNIVERSAL AUDIO PLUGIN REVIEW MOVIE#
The only UAD-2 plug-ins that currently take more juice are some of UA’s latest guitar amp models, but paraphrasing from my favorite movie of all time, Pulp Fiction, “When you use the VOXBOX plug-in, you will know where that extra power goes.” This gives you 16 mono or 8 stereo instances maximum on an UAD-2 OCTO device. In the software realm this relates to power consumption, and a single instance of it takes up 46% of a UAD-2 processor in mono and 56% in stereo. Just like the Manley hardware, the UAD VOXBOX plug-in is one hefty beast. When using one of the microphone preamp-equipped Apollo units, the VOXBOX plug-in can take advantage of UA’s Unison preamp technology and one can use the microphone preamp section of the VOXBOX while tracking in real time. The Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip Plug-in runs exclusively on the UAD-2 DSP accelerator system, including all UAD-2 PCIe cards and Satellites as well as the company’s UAD-2 equipped Apollo interfaces. True to form, the team at Universal Audio painstakingly modeled every element of the VOXBOX, from input stage to output stage and every tube, transformer, resistor, VU Meter and opto-cell in between. As she did when we reviewed the UAD-2 Massive Passive EQ plug-in (February 2015), EveAnna Manley was kind enough to send us a hardware VOXBOX for side-by-side comparisons between it and the new plug-in. Luckily for me, the folks at Universal Audio chose the VOXBOX as their latest piece of modeled Manley gear for the UAD-2 effects engine. Unlike other Manley stalwarts like the SLAM!, Vari-Mu, Massive Passive, and others, I have never had the pleasure of using a VOXBOX in person. Well done Universal Audio! Can't wait to try to other Fender amps which will be done with such a level of quality.The VOXBOX is one of the most impressive pieces of gear in the Manley line, released two decades ago and reviewed by producer/engineer William Wittman in our October 1998 issue. The Fender character is present all the way. When you turn the volume the amp starts to growl in a very pleasant way without sounding muddy. When you start to play and you don't stop for a long time, it's a good sign that the sound is great. I really dig the tones with the lower setting of the volume (around 2 or 3).
Note that the amp has 4 inputs which you can bridge and a choice of 3 speakers (Jensen P12R, JBL D120F or Greenback Celestions 25). Universal Audio Fender '55 Tweed Deluxe plugin review Universal Audio website: The cool looking user interface for the plugin. Here's below the Tweed Deluxe plugin review in video. Universal Audio has just released a plugin for the Fender '55 Tweed Deluxe amp. It was possible to get some cool clean tones from the existing plugins but not as good as a real Fender amp. So far, the guitar amps plugins available were geared toward the big distorted sounds with the Friedman or Marshall plugins. Universal Audio is highly respected for its great plugins which run in their interface.
