How about a hand for another great intro level clone for those on a budget.

Here is a 2a clone with a different approach to the classic compressor by putting it into a half rack space. The design is solid with a good vibe from the transformers but lacks some of the character one would expect of a 2a clone.

We tore into the design and stated tweaking in order to bring out its inner Urei.

For these units we offer two options; the standard modification and optional Kenetek opto install.

Read below for more about the modifications

Simply select the service+ Kenetek Opto or simply purchase the service and we will modify the existing t4b (included with the basic service). 

The modifications to the Opto Cell are a very nice improvement and the differences between the Kenetek and the existing one are fairly negligible. 

We put a lot of love into the modifications on this one, as with all of our modifications, to squeeze out the maximum performance possible.

With the modifications they sound great on Bass, vocals, room mics and more and are a lot closer to the original.

Pretty much anywhere you would want to put a LA2A, like vocals and Bass 

Remedy the low end response, smooth out the compression and bring back the character to the design.

 
Modifications:

We do a complete audio path upgrade using premium parts for lower noise and higher headroom as well as lower distortion.

All Audio caps are swapped out for better performance using Panasonic Parts and Orange Drop Capacitors and film capacitors in the audio path for more authenticity.

Values are adjusted throughout for the best possible audio response. 

Low noise Tubes are installed  for better warmth, lower noise and better clarity. 

Bypassing is performed where necessary for lower noise in the power supply and certain values are adjusted to more closely reflect the original design.

Power supply modifications are also performed for the lowest possible noise figures in the overall design and better current delivery.
