Have heard mixed reviews, most say nice comp in the ballpark but just isn't quite doing what the Neve is known for. For a while they were easy to find used.

hmm..I see. I've never heard much about Neve compression.

2254 and 33609 are legendary. I adore the diode bridge sound. Gonna build one as soon as I get the chance.

What kit ?

AML makes a 2254 kit that I've been drooling over for a long time.  But I think, sometime soon, that I'll be buying a Buzz Audio DBC instead.  It's not exactly a clone, more their take on a neve diode bridge.  I haven't heard it in person but I'm hoping it compares well to a 2254 in tone.

True, ua has a sale on its complete ultimate 5 bundle and peeps found a reference to U6, so looks like they may be launching a few more plugs and at least one new bundle.

I have sold all my ua stuff so just watching from the sidelines !
