Description

The Teletronix LA-3Acompressor is an iconic 'secret weapon" limiter, famous for pushing sounds right to the front of your speakers with a unique, aggressive character.

Modeled from a unit in UA's vintage collection, the Teletronix LA-3A Audio Leveler plug-in gives you all the tone and pugnacious dynamics control of the rare hardware.

Get In-Your-Face Optical Compression Tones
By giving you faster limiting than the tube-driven smooth operator Teletronix LA-2A with the clarity of the iconic solid-state 1176, the Teletronix LA-3A plug-in offers bold, mid-forward compression, guaranteed to make your sounds pop. 

Easily Get Pro Limiting on Drums
Use the HF Emphasis sidechain filter to punch up your drum bus with legendary LA-3A tone, without triggering the threshold of the compressor with the kick drum. Plus, the Dry/Wet Mix control gives you quick parallel compression on a synth or piano track, seasoning your productions with legendary Teletronix LA-3A attitude.

  • Get the unique tone of the definitive solid-state optical compressor

    Still holds up

    This is one of my favorite compressor plugins of all time! With other plugins you get this transient spike at the beginning, this one just catches it like a champ. It’s not even the newest kid on the block but trust me it’s that good!

    Great compressor

    I like to use in on guitars, very clean and rounded response, and a little bit faster than the LA-2A.

    A classic

    Simple, easy to use, and effective. It works well for smoothing out legato and sustained sounds like bowed instruments and vocals.
