Authentic Vintage Sound
The Universal Audio UAFX Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor recreates the iconic sound of the original optical tube limiter, delivering classic tone and feel directly to your pedalboard.
The Universal Audio UAFX Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor is a guitar pedal that faithfully recreates the legendary sound of our optical tube limiter. Voiced to match the original hand-wired hardware precisely, it delivers all the inspiring tone and classic feel you'd expect right at your feet.
This pedal lets you enjoy gentle dynamics control and natural sustain, whether playing ringing clean tones and single-note guitar lines or seeking to add focus to your bass, synths, and keys. The Teletronix LA-2A enhances your instruments like no other compressor, providing that big, three-dimensional sound that made the original hardware famous, complete with its transformers, tubes, and T4 optical cell distortions, all conveniently on your pedalboard.
Even without applying compression, the Teletronix LA-2A elevates your tone with the bold tube thickening characteristic of vintage tube circuits. It can easily push your already-cooking tube amplifier into a juicy overdrive, rich in harmonics and colour.
Built for durability, the Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor is a tough, compact stompbox designed for years of trouble-free performance. It features a switchable true/buffer bypass, a Stock/Fast switch for quicker attack times, and a Mix control for easy parallel compression. This pedal ensures you can enjoy the legendary limiting effects of the Teletronix LA-2A for decades to come.
