lots of knobs no substitute

Lots of knobs and switches is no substitute for sounds quality. This compressor sounds like garbage on bass, snare and kick. For only a little more you can get a DBX. So why waste your time with a rinky dink piece of junk. OTOH the old microlimiters are acutally kinda good.

I've used this unit off and on over the last 8 years (different venues) and finally bought a pair for myself. While it doesn't compare to higher end units costing $500 - $1000 per channel, it beats the heck out of a lot of units in the <$300 range. Don't be fooled by the price! This is a quality unit that is under-rated. An excellent comp for entry to mid-high level users!

Just picked up one of these this week. I was previously using a Behringer comp that i thought was doing a great job at keeping lead vocals tight and clean. I plugged this unit in and was absoultely amazed at how much fuller the voices sounded than they previously had. Several people came to me after the service asking what i did differently because the overall sounds was so much "fuller." I love it!

I purchased this because I needed a noise gate and a Compressor/Sustainer. It works out great! Of course it's a rack unit, it took A LOT OF TIME turning knobs to get it to that sweet spot, but now it does exactly what I needed it to do to! Beautiful piece of equipment, nice price.
