Tube Tech CL2A Dual Channel All Tube Optical Compressor

The CL2A is a very all-round 2 channel opto compressor. The CL2A deliveres that smooth and musical compression that TUBE-TECH is known for. Use it for keys, guitars, vocals, or mixbus, the result is always musical and transparent.

The tube circuit is the basically same as the CL1B, with the only difference being that the input transformer and the tube amps in the CL2A delivers a more normal amount of gain compared to the CL1B. The control circuit has been changed so the CL2A''s  max release time is two seconds. The CL2A features a different optical element, with reasonable similar action to the element in the CL1B. The CL2A has a little more round character to the compression, compared to the CL1B, but has kept the very smooth action, the CL1B is famous for.
