AFAIK, only 3 devs modeled actual Fairchilds: UA, IK, and Waves.
As we all know, there are very few operational units left, and each one sounds quite different, due to aging components and maintenance.
So it’s silly to talk about “accuracy” when it comes to Fairchild models. There is no definitive Fairchild. There are only ones that sound better than others.
Each TIME CONSTANT position on the UAD alters the character of the input in distinct and musical ways that the IK and Waves models do not.
So assuming all are equally accurate to the units they modeled, the UAD 660 and 670 units are the ones I would want access to most.
