We shared episode 1 of Then and Now with David Frangioni, which took a look at the Pultec EQ, and how modern software incarnations compare to the vintage hardware. Here we have a second episode looking at the LA-2A compressor, with David applying more than 35 years of studio experience working with Aerosmith, Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Journey and many more.
