Klark Teknik KT-2A Classic Leveling Amplifier with Vacuum Tubes, Optical Attenuator and Midas Transformers

This thing is fantastic! I have used real la2as for years when i was a house engineer at a local studio and i also own a warm wa2a and this unit is just as good at a fraction of the price. Build quality is great, sound is great and it is quiet even high output settings. i can not say enough good things about this. You get that nice gooey tube creamyness we all love. If this unit was released 10 years ago the pro audio community would have went crazy. If you want an la2a but dont want to shell out the cash this is your unit. There is no reason to spend the $$ on a la2a or any other high end clone now. Warm, Stam, and Audioscape had all better look out! This is a game changer all for the price of one botique guitar pedal, its just crazy and a no brainer.

I owned a real Teletronix LA-2A for ten years and had to sell it. But I wanted something for vocals and bass and these were 1/10th the price. Why not try it.Glad I did! This isn’t the exact vibe of the real one but it’s close enough for my budget. Well built and good warranty on it. If you get a good one these can be magic. I prefer tracking analog at true zero latency than through plugins and this delivers.

This thing is butter. I showed my friend two tracks, one uncompressed and one running through the KT-2A. The compressed track was much more contained (as expected) but it also had that tubey goodness to it. It was so smooth. I've used a real LA-2A and this thing comes pretty close.

Hardware is quite new to me since I've always used vst plugins but this just do something else to my songs! Need more time with them but LOVE them so far from the get go. Now for the compressors!
