Universal Audio UAFX LA-2A Studio Compressor

Universal Audio UAFX Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor

The UAFX Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor brings the iconic optical tube compressor/limiter to a compact stompbox. The end-to-end emulation captures the vintage transformers, tube amplifiers and T4 optical cell of the original for full, three-dimensional tube tones. A Dry Mix control makes parallel compression easy, a Stock/Fast switch selects the attack, and bypass is switchable between true and buffered.
