I use the la3a most, because 1). less cpu 2). less dark than la2a

I use all 3 alot (3a, 2a, 1176), however.

I've almost never had a use for helios, I will try it on bass, but I usually like my modulus as is through my pres, with just a little la3a.

I disagree, I find the Fairchild to be amazing almost always on the buss, if I need to, I compensate for the bass loss with post comp eq. Awhile back, someone posted a recommended setting to start with on UAD's site, which I've always used as a great starting point, and works most of the time. it is:

left/right/lat/vert=5

dc bias=2 o'clock

threshold=0

in/out gain= adjust as needed

This setting almost always add pseudo-analog life to the midrange of a mix I have, much like my neve 5043 comp.
