LA-2A Studio Compressor guitar pedal offers the legendary sound of optical tube compression, true/buffered bypass, and a stock/fast attack switch – all in a compact stompbox.
Get the rich tube tones of a legendary limiter
The Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor delivers the sound of Universal Audio’s iconic optical tube limiter in a convenient pedal format. It is finely tuned to precisely match the original handcrafted hardware — with all the inspiring tone and classic feel you need.
Enjoy smooth dynamics control and natural sustain
Whether you’re playing guitar, bass, synths, or pianos, the Teletronix LA-2A enhances the sound of your instruments like no other compressor. This pedal gives you the expansive, three-dimensional sound of the original hardware — including transformers, tubes, and T4 optical cell distortions — right on your pedalboard.
Add the fat sound of a vintage tube circuit
Even without compression, the Teletronix LA-2A will elevate your tone with bold thickness, easily pushing your tube amplifier into a rich overdrive, full of dynamics, harmonics, and color.
Robust, compact stompbox
The Teletronix LA-2A Studio Compressor is built for trouble-free use under harsh conditions and during tours. The pedal features a true/buffered bypass switch, a stock/fast switch for attack time control, and a mix control for easy parallel compression.
