Pretty sure it’s just the Cali76 (which is supposedly based off of an 1176, and at the very least it does a good job of emulating one) with a name that’s a play on Beverly Hills Cop. LA-2A in a pedal form factor would be rad
The Cali 76 is pictured below & all it's SMD !What have we here?

“Want” in one hand, poop in the other…see which one fills up quicker.Maybe 1590BBS, but it's all about Real Estate.
Half the members here want it in a 1590A!!!!

Boss CS-2 does it all for me. I have not bothered to even look at other compressors.
After building the Kompormat from MBP for a friend I think that’s my final stop on the comp train but I’ve also always heard good thing about the Boss

As a younger fella, I owned the ubiquitous CS-3 and didn’t like it. I’ve owned a Ross clone, Vintage and Modern Dyna Comps, etc. and played a few of the fancy, “transparent” (whatever the hell that means for a compressor) types and found the CS-2 to be the perfect middle ground between the super squishy Dyna Comp types and the more subtle optical types. It can get really squishy if you need and also subtle and everything in between.
I have one of the black label MIJ models. It’s best to shit and I think I paid < $100 for it but it still works great.

I squished them. I squished them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the dynamics, but the dynamowics and the dynerdlihcics, too. They're like transients, and I flattened them like transients. I HATE THEM.
I’ll have to give that a whirl because I have a warden and a dyna comp and neither are what I would call a do anything compressor. Thanks!

I’ve only ever used two compressors in my life: a Janglebox (PPCB Brydland…which is a Dyna-Comp with a tone switch, and is good on guitar or bass), and an early 2000’s CS-3. The CS-3 was awesome. I loved how it smoothed everything out, and gave me an OD sustain in a clean tone. The CS3 wasn’t mine, though. If it was, I’m sure I’d still have it…
