The plugin he reaches for

VLA-3A
“I like the VLA-3A a lot and it seems to be the absolute best emulation of an LA-3A that’s been done. I really like how the audio pops out of the speaker and gets tightened up a lot, while retaining a really nice thick and pleasant frequency curve — keeping the bass in a very pleasing way.”
