This an OLA5 Compressor module by DIY Recording Equipment including the vintage transformer mod and RED-25 op-amp, built by me towards the end of 2022 and lived in my rack since.Sonically this still functions just like how it did when it was first built, however the first LED of the meter seems to have gone out at some point. Probably an easy fix and a part that DIYRE should be able to send, it was just never enough of an issue for me to take on. Because of this I’m listing it at the cost of parts, take home a fully functioning comp and a free op-amp for the price of a kit!I also have another listing for a pair of these available if you’re interested in going stereo, they were purchased in the same order so the components are about as matched as you can get and the stereo linking works great.Info from DIYRE~Classic Opto Leveling, Upgraded Signal Path. The Urei LA-4 leveling amplifier has always lived in the shadows of it's older siblings, the LA-2A and LA-3A. Despite possessing the distinctive, musical compression character its family is known for, the LA-4 was compromised by the muddy sound of early chip technology.With the OLA5, we've painstakingly recreated the LA-4's leveling behavior—including cloning the original opto cell after finding that no modern substitute would do—but that's where the resemblance to the LA-4 ends. The OLA5's signal path is completely overhauled and upgraded. And the workflow hews closer to the LA-2A and LA-3A, while adding new features like a sidechain high-pass filter and parallel MIX control.Modern Clarity or Vintage Tone. As with the EQP5 Equalizer Kit, you can choose between the Modern output stage for more transparency or the Vintage output for a thicker, more colored sound. If both outputs are installed, you can switch between them without any soldering. The vintage output includes our 2523 transformer which is based on the 2503 output transformer found in vintage API consoles. You can complement the transformer with our RED-25 DOA, or use your own DOA (the vintage output requires both the DOA and transformer to work).FEATURESStepped controls (21 positions) for easy recall and stereo operationAnodized aluminum knobs and front panelUnique, custom opto assembly that replicates the original10-LED gain reduction meterSwitchable wet/dry MIX knobPushbutton select switches:LIM switches between compress (2:1) and limit (selectable) modesHPF filters low-frequencies out of the sidechain (150Hz)MIX engages the wet/dry mix controlLINK enables stereo linking (But we do not recommend the OLA5 as a bus compressor.
