Underrated plugin (Essentials version)
Based on the reviews I've seen on here, it appears Verve is getting alot of bad press and I think it's painting an inaccurate picture of how useful this plugin is.
I've seen that most complaints are to do with lack of a wet/dry mix knob and also a lack of control in general. Both these factors are true and are fair comments. However, lack of a mix knob can be compensated for by placing this plugin on a send/return track in your DAW - or you could even duplicate the instrument track you wish to use it on, place Verve on the duplicate and then blend the two using the faders on your mixer. So this isn't the end of the world.
As far as a lack of tweak-ability goes, I completely agree... but we need to understand what UA were going for when they created this plugin. Clearly, the plugin is designed to be simple and streamlined in terms of usage and interface; each machine in Verve is essentially the same as having a list of presets to flick through until you get the flavor you want. They've gone for speed and convenience over complexity and the ability to customise the sound. So I guess you just have to ask yourself, is that what you want?
Most importantly, don't let the above factors get in the way of the QUALITY of the plugin - i.e. the quality of the sound it creates, or rather how well it affects the sound source you are using it on. Tonally, this machine sounds absolutely fantastic, it is absolute quality and whoever made it at UA did an awesome job... As 'Manipulators of sound' surely that is the most important aspect to us, right?
The quality is as such that, although the interface is simple and streamlined, there is obviously alot going on under the hood of this thing that we can't see.
Bottom line: Verve sounds great and is extremely useful. Additionally, the kind folks at UA are giving the Essentials version of this baby away for free until April 30th - companies rarely do that - and so what have you got to lose? Ignore all the naysayers and try it for yourself, I can pretty much guarantee you will find it useful for something!
Thanks UA for an awesome, free product of top quality. You have my full support!

Fast and Sounds Great
Bought the full version. It's super fast to dial in great sounding saturation and color. The plugin does what it says and sounds great.

Good - Fun Distortion/Audio degradation Tool, needs update
This plugin is a lot of fun, and I’ve gotten some cool sounds from it, but I agree with a few other people here that this plugin needs a mix knob. While there other ways/workarounds this should be default in my opinion.

I have the essentials version, not much value added
While I am only using the essentials version, I can say there is not much value added here if you already own all of the real UA plugins. This is a light weight toy for people just getting started I think.
.
it's nice but..
I wish in future updates there will be more options to mix some of the effects instead of using just one each time.
it's a great start but missing many basic features the would make it from "great" to "amazing must have plugin!".

Why?
Hype, what's fashionable. Funny how so many 'one knob' plugins appear at the same time. Someone on this review said it adds Great warmth. Obviously needs to visit an audiologist. 3d interfaces are so easy to design now so the illusion of what's really happening is only that. If it looks good it must sound good. But close ur eyes, train yourself to listen and understand. It soon becomes clear these are nothing more than a $20 Behringer distortion pedal.. Put that on your mix.

Great tool. Adds more detail and punch to the sound.

Eh
Not bad but even though i am using the essentials version i really don't see the use for paying more for a plugin with no dry/wet knobs & very limited even when compared to the essentials version.

I purchased it, but I don't know how to install it.
I installed it using UAD CONNECT, but it says the demo will end in one day.
Also, I have no idea where it is installed.

Sweet sonic enhanceent with the tweak of two knobs
Verve Analog Machines delivers analog sauce to your tracks with just two knobs, making it simple to use. Well worth the investment … the delivered presets offer great starting points.

Useful in a creative process
If you don’t want to stop your creative flow and need some analog sound, distorted or not. Two knobs and you’re done !

No mix knob, yay.
I wish there was a mix knob, on every plug-in ever. I don't get why this is not included in a plug-in that supposedly want to give us quick tones. I'd have to set up a send every time I want to try it out, so no ... thanks?

Verve is a practical tool with nice character but license still failed to redeem
I like the sound of Verve, however the authorization system will block a 20 years ago client to return.

Boring
Well.......... no

No Dry/Wet Mix *face palm*
The fact that this doesn't have a Dry/Wet signal mix renders it essentially useless.
