| VINTAGE LEVELING AMPLIFIER
The VLA-2A* Mark II is the new and improved version
of our best selling VLA-2A plug-in - the world‘s finest
emulation of THE opto electronic compressor of the
late 1960s.
It includes all of the VLA-2A features that you know
and love, with a larger GUI, added Emphasis Control,
Sidechain, Cell Selector, MakeUp Gain and Mix
Control.
This classic compressor with a twist is pure magic -
use it to gently add warm, breathy compression and
tube saturation to your tracks, for that unmistakable
vintage sound that is filled with character.
We recommend the VLA-2A especially for vocals and
drums, however, it also performs outstandingly well
on bass or even on the master bus. Pair it with the
VLA-FET for the perfect analog-inspired dream team!
Embrace the beauty of smooth opto electronic
compression, along with new features that catapult
this unit into the 21st century.
History
The predecessor to the VLA-2A dates back to the early
1960s, when it was originally used for broadcast.
Engineers quickly noticed that the tubes in this unit,
as well as its multi-stage release and frequency-
dependent attack and response, lend incredibly well
to music production as well.
The VLA-2A was faithfully modeled to the original unit,
perfectly capturing all of its character and making it
an instant favorite!
The VLA-2A Mark II will throw you back in time, giving
you that authentic vintage feel, without feeling
antiquated, thanks to our careful refinement and
added features. A true Black Rooster Audio classic,
this unit is a vintage classic with a twist!
