ART Pro VLA II – Optical Tube Compressor / Dual Channel 🚨 Not working

The Pro VLA II is a highly regarded optical compressor known for its smooth, musical character on vocals, bass, synths and stereo bus work. Key features:

• Optical compression with a very natural response
• Dual channel (mono / dual mono / stereo link)
• 12AT7 tubes for warmth and analog harmonics
• Analog VU meters
• Ratio, Threshold, Attack, Release, Output Gain
• Great for tracking, mix bus, or adding analog color to hybrid setups.

🔧 Condition

The unit powers on normally, tubes heat up, VU meters respond, but there is no audio output. This is most likely caused by a blown capacitor or a small component in the audio path (common and easy-to-fix issue on this model).

I don’t have any qualified techs in my area, so I’m selling it at a reduced price, ideal for someone who wants to repair it !
