RE: Santa should send me this gear... ;-)

Yes, the comments have an "Antwort" instead of "Reply". That's the way life
in Germany works :-P.

I'm talking about the Teletronix LA-2A studio compressor. This one is
modeled in the Line6 BassPOD. In that version, the threshold control (in 
the
original LA-2A called "Peak Reduction") and the "Gain" are combined into 
one
knob, so you really get one "punch& presence" control.
Of course, you can only add, not remove, punch&presence with that device.

The LA-2A is actually very much used on vocal tracks as well.

It's obvious that mf doesn't have the Vortex (btw, they have the LA-2A
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Teletronix-LA2A-Leveling-Amplifier?sk
u=182103) - it's an antique item by lexion (and yes, it was originally
created with guitarists in mind). Look here

on it.
