The LA-62 is a limiter/distortion effect inspired by a revered PA limiter of the 1960s.   It’s an extremely aggressive limiter, holding the output level constant regardless of how hard you hit the input.  It features a custom DRIVE circuit which pushes the final transistor amplifier stage, allowing you to dial in as much distortion as desired.  It seamlessly integrates into various setups, either as a line-level device in the studio, or integrated into an instrument-level pedalboard.

Features

• Fully analog signal path
• Custom internal power supply raises voltages to +/-15V, allowing for high headroom suitable for line level signals
• Classic FET limiting circuit
• Variable DRIVE control increases distortion ranging from soft clipping to hard transistor saturation
• Variable two-pole low-pass filter with cutoff frequency ranging from 200Hz to 20kHz
• Independent level controls for effected and uneffected clean signal, allowing for parallel processing
• Relay-controlled true bypass with a soft-touch footswitch
• Balanced bypass:  passes balanced signals in bypass if balanced TRS cabling is used
• Rugged stainless steel enclosure
