Overview

Winner of the Electronic Musician Editor's Choice Award.

The ART PRO VLA 2-Channel Tube Compressor is very easy to use.

It utilizes optical electronics (Vactrol) coupled with a 12AX7 tube gain stage for superior musical performance. The PRO VLA is a soft-knee leveler and, although capable of providing a fully squashed signal, it excels where transparent expressively musical dynamics control is desired.
