Universal Audio LA-2A Studio Compressor Overview

Get the Rich Tube Tones of a Legendary Limiter
Get warm optical tube compression heard on decades of classic records in one compact stompbox with the Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor Pedal from Universal Audio. Precisely matching the original hand-wired tube hardware, this pedal delivers all the inspiring tone and legendary feel of the original while remaining supremely easy to use.

The emulated tube preamp section lets you add weight and texture to any clean or dirty sound. The simple controls let you engage in parallel compression (Mix), change the release timings (Stock/Fast), change compression thresholds (Peak), and select between two compression ratios, 4:1 (Comp) for standard compression and 12:1 (Limit) for limiting. You can also choose between a buffered bypass for preserving tone over long cable runs and complex pedalboards, or choose true bypass for a pure analog to analog connection, untouched or colored by digital conversion.    

Gentle Dynamics Control and Natural Sustain
Whether it's ringing clean tones and single-note guitar lines, or adding focus to bass, synths, and keys, the Teletronix LA-2A enhances instruments like no other compressor. This pedal gives you all the big three-dimensional sound of the original hardware—including its transformers, tubes, and T4 optical cell distortions—right on your pedalboard.
The Fat Sound of a Vintage Tube Circuit
Even without compression, Teletronix LA-2A will elevate your tone with bold tube thickening, easily pushing your already-cooking tube amp into juicy overdrive, full of harmonics and color.
Compress with a Touch, Compact Stompbox
Built for years of trouble-free performance, Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor features switchable true/buffered bypass, a Stock/Fast switch for quicker attack time, and a Mix control for easy parallel compression, giving you legendary limiting effects for decades to come.
