Modeled from CLA’s personal collection of expertly maintained “golden” units these outstanding plugins let you mix with the sound that has powered hits from Grandmaster Flash to Green Day.

Go-To Analog Compression for Vocals and Beyond

Renowned for wrapping vocals with silky-smooth compression the CLA-2A is also a favorite for bass guitar and many other instruments—thanks to tube warmth a sweet attack and decays that are never choppy.

The Solid Sound of the 70s

The CLA-3A models the tight punchy dynamics effects used for drums bass and guitar in high-end 70s studios. It combines solid-state circuitry’s fast attack with the gentle release of optical-based compression/limiting.

Rock Royalty’s Choice for Drums

For drums the CLA-76’s tight compression from program-dependent attack/release times and the incendiary “all-button” mode are unparalleled. Then add harmonic distortion—for a muscular sound that erupts with power.
