![]() I've been building and restoring LA-2A style compressors for almost 20 years now. The result is a unique combination of rich tube tone and high end clarity.Ī few words about the Kenetek LA-2X from Bill Jones, the owner of Kenetek Pro Audio: Components include vintage UTC input and output transformers, vintage tubes, vintage Simpson VU meter, Mogami cable, Alps Blue Velvet pots, Solen film capacitors and many, many tweaks. These controls take the LA-2A design way out of the "one trick box" category and into a whole new realm of flexibility. The switch to the right of the meter selects the Sidechain High Pass Filter Frequency, and the pot next to it selects how much high pass filtering is applied at that frequency. It allows you to vary the frequency response at 20 kHz by up to +/- 6 dB in 2 dB increments. The switch next to is it a seven position High Frequency Tilt switch. Turn it more clockwise for a more aggressive limiting action. The leftmost pot on top is a Feedback/Feedforward control. These additions make the LA-2X shine where no LA-2A has ever gone before. The Kenetek LA-2X ('X' for eXtreme) is an all tube, optical compressor based on the classic Teletronix LA-2A design, but with some very useful features added.
