Optical tube compressor, largely inspired by the LA-2A Teletronix (it uses the same tubes). The look is very artisanal, average finish, but this is perhaps what gives it its charm.

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup: two buttons. A compression to the other for the output gain. A little disturbing if you do not know the machine: the first button is the last (output gain). Simplest thing is difficult. No bypass button (injury). on the other hand, it can be read on the large VU meter compression or output level.

SOUND QUALITY

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is there, with a very particular grain, high quality. I compared it directly with the LA-2A: it plays in the same category but it seems to me that the attack on the ADL is a bit faster. It is in soft: you can easily get a big sound, without it seems distorted. I changed the original lamps to replace them with NOS, and easily gains in quality. I use it mainly on the voice, but it can do a lot of things (bass, snare, acoustic guitar ...).

OVERALL OPINION

for several months. I have no regrets, except not having bought earlier ...

Everyone sees what we mean by going against note features you!
LOL

I do not go 7/10 ...

UTILIZATION

No comment

SOUND QUALITY

Very good for a leveled voice low crush on a snare drum or as parallel compression on drums.

OVERALL OPINION

it's been about three years since I used.
I find it a bit expensive for the low setting, but hey what more to LA-2.
And the sound is there.
It is on this is super versatile.
With the experience I would buy a good Stérrrrr ...

Vintage tube compressor type
Only two settings: Compression (reduction peak) and output gain
2u Rack

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple to set. Very effective

SOUND QUALITY

The big tube sound!
Formidable voices ...

OVERALL OPINION

Reissue of the famous LA-2A compressor, according to experts much better than the reissue Universal Audio. And cheaper ...

Big 70's analog warm sound tube on the legendary voice, bass, drums, etc..

A must!

Formidable efficiency. I finally heard what a true compression (nothing to do with the Plug'ins and compressors that I used before).

SOUND QUALITY

A sound die for! Ideal for bass, sax and vocals (basically, on everything I recorded.

OVERALL OPINION

A "box of race," by driving a Ferrari is against forcment onreux more than drive a Twingo.
