Opt-2A
Opt-2A is a processor that emulates a standard vintage model of vacuum tube optical compressor.
The level is controlled using optical components such as a CdS-Cell and EL panel to produce
smooth compression. The beautiful high-frequency overtones in the warm distortion created by the
vacuum tube circuit generate an elegant and sophisticated sound.
