Mentesh Engineering is a one-engineer audio-plugin studio in Tel Aviv,
shipping plugins captured + rebuilt from one-specific-unit hardware. Its
first release, MENTESH2A, is an optical compression system inspired
by the LA-2A, captured from a specific 2014 UA LA-2A reissue (1960s Lawrence circuit), tube-rolled to NOS RCA reference
unit owned by the company (NOS RCA 12AX7, Sowter 8940 OT, T4B
optocell). The plugin is captured at 96 kHz against a level-matched
dry reference, with attack 7.1–10.4 ms (fast) / 28–34 ms (mid) and
R² 0.85–0.97 across the PR-curve. A full 33-capture null-test pack
ships publicly with v1.0. $129 USD early-bird; VST3 / AU on macOS
and Windows. me-plugins.com.
