# MENTESH2A ships v1.0 — opto leveler captured from a tube-rolled 2014 UA Teletronix LA-2A reissue

**Tel Aviv — 2026.** Mentesh Engineering today released MENTESH2A v1.0,
an optical compression system captured from a . The plugin is
captured from a specific 2014 UA LA-2A reissue (1960s Lawrence circuit), tube-rolled to NOS RCA owned by the
company (NOS RCA Black-Plate 12AX7, Sowter 8940 output transformer,
T4B optocell), measured at 96 kHz against a level-matched dry source.

Where most opto plugins describe their character with adjectives,
MENTESH2A ships with the receipts: attack times of 7.1–10.4 ms in the
fast regime and 28–34 ms in the mid regime, R² fit of 0.85–0.97
across the full PR-curve, and a public 33-capture A/B null pack
covering vocal, bass, and drum sources at eleven Peak Reduction points.

"Every adjective on this site has to reduce to a number or a specific
physical artefact," says founder Guy Mentesh. "If we can't measure it,
we don't claim it."

MENTESH2A is $129 USD (early-bird, first 100 customers; $149 list
thereafter), VST3 / AU on macOS Universal and Windows x64. A 14-day
trial is available at **me-plugins.com/mentesh2a/demo**.
