Does anyone here have a 2A-KT, or even other LA2A clones?
I just received one I ordered in May, and tried a vocal through it.
It doesn't sound the way I imagined. I'm not sure I'm going to keep it. But it's got something, so... maybe.
I'd love to hear about how more experienced people use their LA-2A style compressors. At this point I imagine a real LA-2A sounds very different from this thing, but some of the same questions may apply.
Such as;
Since there's no threshold control, do people effectively control it with the preamp in front of it, and just hit it with a higher or lower level? For instance, if you want a lower ratio, but also a lower threshold.
Also, what does the limiting setting typically work well for?
If anyone has this KT model specifically, do you like it on vocals?
