Getting a phone call from one of your sales engineers to thank me for my order is just something that does not happen these days. A personal touch is great. Outstanding service and my order arrived as promised in two days.

Seems great for the price

First off this plug is awesome fro what it can accomplish so well and so easily. Second off no I don't know what an La2A sounds like esxcept for hearing the radio and cds.

This plug ha... read more [+]s the recessed cream and the upfront grit. No it it doesn't have a big tubish sound but on highs it real gets souding big because of saturation and broadness. But yeh probably not something you want to send out on the highs for.

All in all I feel I get that "radio" sound for vocals and bass and rock guitar. Also might I add, I can use it on infinite tracks in stereo or mono.

To me it really is "a" sought after sound. Thank you Waves. close [-]

It's ok nothing great

To be honest it doesn't sound like a real la-2a at all. It sounds very 2d and lacks depth to it. If you want something that sounds alot more like a real la-2a look at softube's tubetech cl1b plugin.
