This is a quick review of the Warm Audio WA-1B Tube Opto Compressor with sound examples. The Warm Audio WA-1B Tube Opto Compressor Is a new affordable alternative to the classic Tube Tech CL-1B. This optical compressor with Lundhal Transformers is yet another product from Warm Audio that replicates a classic. This review and my opinion about the Warm Audio WA-1B are my own. I purchased this unit.
