Anthony DeMaria Labs ADL C/L 1500

Commission sale item from a working studio. We have it here and it will be fully tested once more immediately prior to shipping.

The ADL 1500 is simply the stereo version of Anthony DeMaria's ADL 1000 - his very well-respected take on the classic LA-2A.

Note that the current owner has upgraded the unit with NOS Mullard, Brimar and JJ valves to further enhance the sound - see the photos for more information.

Blurb from the brochure:

The Anthony DeMaria Labs ADL C/L 1500 is dual channel all tube compressor and limiter that offers an incredibly transparent sound and discreet design. The ADL C/L 1500 has a phenomenal dynamic range and has a clean, punchy, warm sound.

Each ADL C/L 1500 is completely hand made using only the best components and workmanship available which result in outstanding performance and what people are calling "invisible" compression.
