Used Art PRO VLA II Compressor

This ART Pro VLA II is a two channel tube compressor designed for smooth, musical dynamic control in both studio and live rack setups. Built around an opto based compression circuit with 12AT7 tubes in the gain stage, it delivers a warm, natural response that works well on everything from vocals and bass to drums, keys, and stereo mixes.

The Pro VLA II is popular for its forgiving compression style that enhances a signal without sounding heavy handed. It excels at leveling and glue, adding subtle harmonic richness while keeping transients intact. Engineers often reach for it when they want gentle control and depth rather than aggressive squash, making it a reliable choice for tracking, mixing, and bus compression across many genres.
