Guitar effects pedal with legendary optical tube compression, true/buffered bypass and Stock/Fast attack switch.
The UAFX LA-2A Studio Compressor puts legendary optical tube limiter sound at your feet, voiced to precisely match the original hand-wired hardware—with all the inspiring tone and classic feel on tap. Whether it's ringing clean tones and single-note guitar lines, or adding focus to bass, synths and keys, the 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.
