All user reviews for the LA Audio TCX20

VCA compressor stereo linkable soft knee with one input circuit and a lamp output tube for each channel (1/2 lamp for each input and output);
input output symmetric and asymmetric, side chain for use in Esser

UTILIZATION

use very simple: the entry level is the drive of the lamp input stage: this is the lamp that seeks to add harmonics and saturation of the signal;
The compressor is a classic of the genre;

SOUND QUALITY

the compressor is very very effective on percussive instruments, snare (yum), bass, synth even if it is capable of handling all loaded even a mix he knows how;
when one clicks the tool, it seems to go from 50-15000 Hz at 20-20000 Hz; it really is a broadband without restriction compressor; it gives the air signal, provides accuracy, transcends mediums, and to compare the lamp circuit is more colorful than the tube Revitalisation Spl;
by compression against the buggers really is, he will quickly flatten dynamics without nuance, you need to take it easy! moreover it is the only compressor I know that setting 1/1, which allows to use only the lamp circuits of the camera ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have the compressor I had the means to pay me DPR402 (a marvel), C2021 (great on vocals) Focusrite Compounder (great for Machine drums) and an old Rocktron 360 (sublime and hot guitar and keyboard);
I also like this TCX20 (which is the same as the TCX2) for its own qualities embellish a mix, assaulted the drums, broaden the spectrum ...
but it will always be with ratios less than 2 ...!
it is unfortunate that the compressor is not more musical but the whole is fairly consistent; Besides the beast works great in front of a Tube Revitalisation compensating mediums that will inevitably revitalize the plane!
Elysia pending a Amek and Spl I am totally satisfied (this is not the tool that matters, but what is in fact!) and the rack is beautiful!
