UAD Custom 2 Premium Bundle Black Friday Deal 2026: $179, 40% off

The UAD Custom 2 Premium Bundle Black Friday deal is 40% off at $179, ending Nov 10, 2026, and it lets you pick two plugins from Universal Audio's UAD library, including premium and newly released titles.

The bundle covers nearly the whole UAD catalog. That includes premium titles from Neve, AMS, C-Suite, Capitol Studios and Paradise Guitar Studio.

Universal Audio says Custom 2 Premium is the most cost-effective way to buy newly released UAD titles.

What can you pick in the UAD Custom 2 Premium Bundle?

Your choice depends on your hardware.

• Apollo or UAD hardware owners: pick 2 from 150+ UAD titles that run on Apollo or UAD-2 hardware
• Native customers without UAD hardware: pick 2 from 60+ titles available natively

Auto-Tune Realtime X is not available in Custom 2 Premium bundles. The same goes for any free plugins included in UAD Explore FREE.

UAD native plugins are now compatible with any soundcard on Mac and PC.

Which plugins can you choose from?

Universal Audio lists a handful of well-regarded titles as examples of what is on offer.

• Topline Vocal Suite: an all-in-one vocal chain that pairs pitch correction with UAD analog effects, plus a key finder and a low-latency mode
• SSL 4000 E Channel Strip: a UAD Native channel strip with Type E black and brown knob EQ, a VCA compressor and gate, and external side-chaining
• Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder: tape saturation with selectable tape types, plus Auto-Gain to hold your gain staging steady
• Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor Compressor: Dry/Wet parallel processing, a Headroom control, and the Dist 2 and Dist 3 modes
• UAD Sound City Studios: Room A, the mic locker, the British console and an echo chamber for drums, guitars and vocals
• Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb: eight reverb programs and one chorus program, built on the algorithms of the 1978 hardware

How does it run in your signal chain?

With Apollo or UAD-2 hardware, the plugins run on the DSP. That keeps processing load off your computer's CPU.

Unison technology gives you the Jensen transformer-based preamp character of the SSL 4000 E when it is paired with an Apollo interface.

The Lexicon 224 ships in both UAD Native and Apollo Realtime/UAD-2 versions, so any audio interface can run it.

If you want to move the Ampex ATR-102 into a LUNA session, there is an ATR-102 LUNA Extension for tape sound right in LUNA's mixer.

Pick two, install them and they sit in your DAW like any other plugin.
