Like a Vintage Leveling Amp - But Better!

Manley puts a new spin on the electro-optical limiter/leveling amplifier with the ELOP. Built on the same principals but employing different technologies, the ELOP manages to avoid the pitfalls (like high-frequency loss) that plagued many older opto-based units. So what did they do differently? Well, the ELOP uses modern VACTROL technology, which helps fight off the problems of older leveling amp designs. Oh, and the 100% all-tube audio path loads up your tracks with the musicality that can only be found in serious tube gear. And you can actually bypass the limiting circuitry, leaving only the line amps in the circuit. Perfect for vocals and individual instruments, the ELOP can also be used on stereo material as well.

Tubes Rule! That's the sentiment EveAnna Manley and Manley Labs screams from the mountain top. And judging from the way Manley Labs gear sounds, tubes could very well rule! All of Manley's gear is designed and crafted in Chino, CA, and nothing but premium components are used. The end result is some of the finest gear you can put in your rack. If you're serious about your sound, get Manley and hear what you've been missing!
