* The Classic LA-2A Compressor (specially made) You've never worked with a compressor that comes close to the LA-2A! Highly acclaimed by audio pros for its natural compression, the LA-2A brings a special, timeless quality to your recordings that you can't get with any other compressor. A unique electro-optical attenuator system allows instantaneous gain reduction with no increase in harmonic distortion. This LA2A compressor was completely built for Kingproductions. Why? because we wanted the warmth of this compressor but we didn't want the tube noise that comes with them. This Compressor was completely built to keep the warmth but not the noise. Custom made with selected and matched components. Wires routed so that noise and cross-talk is invisible.You don't need a bunch of different compressors you just need one good one.
