BA-6A is a compressor plugin inspired by the simple and effective design of a classic 1950s TV and broadcasting limiting amplifier. Suitable for taming the most aggressive and peaking instruments without losing any of their punch, BA-6A is your tool of choice if you need to beef up your drums, vocals, or guitars. 

Boasting three-stage amplification with a moderate drive, hard knee, fast attack, and medium release, The BA-6A implements a Vari-Mu style valve compression or as it’s often called – true tube compression. In contrast to the later Opto valve compressors, the Vari-Mu designs can offer faster attack, variable release times, and more musical and forgiving compression.

Due to the nature of its circuitry, BA-6A is known for its high gain and fat yet gritty sound. This unit gained its reputation for being abused by Jimmy Page and is responsible for much of his huge-sounding guitar recordings.
