Then I stumbled across the Revive mod for the ART Pro VLA opto compressor and thought, "Hmm, I already have a Pro VLA, and for about $500 I can get it modded and have a stereo boutique opto compressor!" We have reviewed the Pro VLA comps before and I think they are the best compressors you can buy for under $500. I love my Universal Audio LA-2A, and was intrigued by the idea of an opto compressor with a bit more control over the attack, release, threshold, and ratio, but I was less excited about spending $2000 or more for a single channel unit. I first learned about the Revive mods when I was looking at some high-end, and rather pricey, optical compressors. Revive Audio is a small company based in Boise, Idaho, that makes boutique audio gear under the Vintage Audio name and also modifies a wide range of moderately priced gear.
