The original LA-3A Audio Leveler made its debut in 1969 and was an instant hit. Studio engineers loved the half-rackspace solid-state electro-optical compressor for the punchy dynamic control it delivered on electric bass, guitars, and just about any other source. Sweetwater knows you want one, and we have good news: the Serpent Chimera 500 Series Opto Compressor re-creates the circuitry, sonics, and behavior of the classic — everything but the form factor. The vintage-style circuit uses no ICs. The I/O is transformer-balanced. And the sound? Warm and deliciously musical. Treat yourself to classic compression with the Serpent Chimera.
