{"product_id":"art-vla500","title":"ART VLA500","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe VLA-500 brings the same VCA-less Vactrol based compression circuit used in ART’s legendary Pro-VLA, putting to a convenient 500 Series format for the first time. Capable not only of delivering incredibly smooth compression and overall dynamic control, the VLA-500 also offers two user selectable tone shaping circuits making it one of the most versatile signal processors in your 500 Series rack.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe ‘Punch’ circuit is a J-FET Harmonic Enhancer that adds even-order harmonic distortion for a fuller, “punchier” tone while taming nasty peaks that may escape the Vactrol. The Grit circuit adds frequency-dependent signal distortion to make any track truly stand out. This is a highly creative effect that can work especially well on drums and percussion, solo brasses and woodwinds and even vocals when added presence and position in a mix is required. Bypassing both ‘Punch’ and\u003cbr\u003e‘Grit’ circuits delivers the purest Opto-compressor tone, perfect for critical solo instruments and clean vocals. ‘Punch’ and ‘Grit’ circuits can even be combined for additional tone shaping options.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e500 Series Form Factor Compressor Module\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBased on Popular PRO-VLA Technology\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eVCA-less Vactrol Opto-Compressor Design\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eTwo Additional Selectable Solid State Tone Shaping Circuits (‘Punch’ \u0026amp; ‘Grit’)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eVariable Threshold, Ratio and Output Controls\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eStereo \/ Multi-Channel Linkable\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLED Metering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35115182751898,"sku":"VLA500","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0422\/1291\/7402\/products\/preamps-processors-vla500-front__41725.jpg?v=1602003076","url":"https:\/\/www.305broadcast.com\/products\/art-vla500","provider":"305broadcast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
