This used Golden Age Project Comp3A Compressor is in great condition and offers classic optical compression with a warm, vintage character. Modeled after the iconic LA-3A, it features discrete Class-A circuitry, a transformer-balanced signal path, and a fast response that adds depth and smoothness to vocals, guitars, and more. With a fixed 4:1 compression ratio, simple Gain and Peak Reduction controls, and a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, it’s easy to dial in natural, musical dynamics. The Comp3A also includes a LINK function for stereo operation and a sidechain high-pass filter for more precise compression. Whether you're adding subtle control or heavier leveling, this compressor delivers punchy, transparent results with vintage warmth. Tested and fully functional, this unit has light signs of prior use but performs flawlessly. A great addition to any studio looking for pro-quality optical compression at an affordable price.
