JLM LA500A

11/26/25 - Building in Progress. Shipping in 7-10 business days. Fully Built and Tested. Orders of 2 units will have Stereo Matched optical cells.  This is the highly regarded LA500A Compressor. It's a fantastic optical compressor based on the LA3A, but with more features including switchable side chain high pass filters, three selectable compression ratios, and also the new 'Slow Attack Mode' which is allows you to pull the threshold knob to engage a slower attack time (very nice on bass).These are extremely versatile compressors, and they work great on almost any source.... vocals, guitars, bass, etc. It's a very smooth and warm sounding compressor that adds some definite heft to the low end. But given the variety of settings, it can also be very transparent, and not overly colored, even at high levels of gain reduction. Feature List:   • Large 34mm white LED backlight GR/VU meter.• Hard relay bypass when comp power off or switched to LA OFF.• Meter switchable Gain Reduction / LA OFF
