Invented in the 1960s, resurrected by Universal Audio in 2000, and heard all over the most iconic records in music history, the Teletronix LA-2A limiter is essentially synonymous with the concept of studio compression. From piece-by-piece hardware replications to cutting-edge digital plug-in models, Universal Audio offers stunning LA-2A-inspired tools in many forms, but the UAFX Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor is by far the company's most pedalboard-friendly release yet. This compact 3-knob powerhouse packs the power of Universal Audio’s immensely powerful LA-2A digital algorithm onboard, recreating the soft, mellow compression of the original unit right down to the tubes, transformers, and T4 optical cell distortions. Besides the intuitive Peak, Gain, and Mix knobs, this pedal also sports a Comp/Limit switch for all the versatility of the original. Put the power of studio-grade compression onto your pedalboard with Universal Audio’s Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor pedal.
