This is a great soft-knee optical compressor in the vein of the Teletronix LA-2A and LA-3A compressors. I have both of those units, and can safely say that this sits somewhere in between the two. Not quite as slow and smooth as the 2A, but a little slower and smoother and with less mid-range than the 3A. Even with a 2A and 3A at my disposal, I still reached for the 502 quite a lot.From Sound Skulptor:The LA502 is a soft knee, electro-optical compressor based on the LA2A/LA3A design, which we have adapted to the '500' series format.It delivers the vintage compression and warmth of its ancestor thanks to the optical coupler response, side chain and transformers.It shines on vocals, bass and drums.The LA502 adds a few features to the original such as a new ratio of 6, two high-pass filter in the side chain and two slower attacks of 10 and 20 ms.Install it in your API* compatible LunchboxTM rack and start working.HighlightsBased on the LA2A/LA3A compressor,Transformers on input and output,Extremely simple to use, never sounds bad,True RMS compression,Program dependent attack, release and ratio makes it very transparent sounding,More than 40dB of gain reduction,3 ratios : 3 (LA2A Compress), 20 (LA2A Limit) and one additional ratio 6.Optional High pass filter in the sidechain @100 & 200 Hz,3 Attack times : 5mS (LA2A), 10mS and 20mS
