VLA-FET

Black Rooster Audio’s VLA-FET is a vintage-style FET leveling amplifier plugin inspired by the classic LN Rev F unit with Lundahl transformers and an LA-4A-style op-amp input stage. It delivers super-fast attack and release times for precise dynamic control, making it ideal for forceful drums, bass, and vocals. Beyond the classic parameters, modern additions like an extra sidechain and auto-adjusted oversampling give you flexibility without complexity. The real-time component-based circuit simulation captures the authentic analog sound and feel, while SSE2-optimized code and HighDPI support ensure smooth performance. Whether you’re shaping punchy drum buses, taming aggressive vocals, or adding character to bass, this compressor suits hobby producers seeking vintage FET compression with modern workflow conveniences in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic.
