With the new UAFX Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor, Universal Audio has captured the sound of the iconic optical tube limiter and shrunk it down to a pedalboard-friendly format. Enhancing instruments like no other compressor, the LA-2A pedal delivers all of the warm, rounded sound of the revered original—down to its transformers, tubes and T4 optical cell distortions—right at the soles of your feet.
“If you’re like me and you love having knobs, building pedalboards and messing with signal chain and signal flow, this pedal is the perfect fit for you,” says seven-time Grammy nominee Justus West. “It’s incredibly musical, and great for live and studio use.”
The LA-2A Studio Compressor features switchable true/buffer bypass, Stock/Fast switch for quicker attack time and a Mix control for easy parallel compression, giving you legendary limiting effects for any situation.
