FMR RNLA (Really Nice Leveling Amplifier)
The Really Nice Levelling Amplifier (RNLA) is a compressor, of sorts, with a character that works well with vocals, bass guitar, acoustic guitars and two-mix sources. The sonic performance of the RNLA harkens back to the Really Nice Compressors (RNC) origins. The original RNC was, in fact, based upon an optical gain element that was ultimately rejected (and tucked away) due to its imparting of a sonic signature.
