When to use it
A quick, one-plug-in vocal or bass chain: warm tube preamp then either fast 1176 or smooth LA-2A compression. It suits people who want to track or mix a source with one plug-in. For finer control over each compressor, use the full 1176 Classic Limiter Collection or Teletronix LA-2A collection from the rated list.
