Description

The “Loc-Box”

The LA-62 is a limiter/distortion effect inspired by a revered PA limiter of the 1960s.ย  Through meticulous engineering, we’ve incorporated enhancement to augment its versatility while faithfully preserving the distinctive gritty character of the original circuitry.ย  It seamlessly integrates into various setups, performing adeptly whether deployed in the studio as a line-level device, 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:ย  passes balanced signals in bypass if balanced TRS cabling is used
  • Rugged stainless steel enclosure
