Been eyeing these for a while. Anyone use it?

Want to grab a opto comp again as I sold my JLM LA500 about 6months ago to fund something else. Miss it actually. But keen to try something new.
Sorted for FET Comps.
Also looking at the Serpent Chimera.

The iGS One LA sure looks interesting. LA2A type with 2 tubes. Video's on the website sound really good. One video on various sources and one compared to a LA2A.
Also read alot of good reviews on it

Just bought it. Guy had it listed on the purple site for a good price, made him a lower offer and he accepted. Was too good to pass Wil report back

I've been eyeballing the rack version for a while now. What do/did you miss about it? Thanks.

theres a video on youtube where igor switches back and forth between a real la2a and the la500 and there is no difference at all. that being said, i had one of these and didnt love it. i sold it pretty quickly. i also had the jlm and sold it quickly too. its really weird because waves la2a and 3a have always been my gotos. i think i got so used to the plugin emulations that the hardware versions sounded wrong to me.
