    Lovely

    Lovely compressor to use with the 1176. Good stuff. Especially if you get it on sale like I did.

    Simple, but very effective!

    Just a great bit of kit... been meaning to get this for some time, and although I haven't used it a lot yet, or investigated all its nooks and crannies, it has transformed the sound on some guitar tracks I've been working on. Simple?.. by today's standards, yes... effective? Hell yeah!

    It works well, I notice that it made my vocals smoother and it could probably do the same for instruments, though I'm not sure. I like it!

    Muy buen precio. Muy simple de usar y es ideal si necesitas una compresión suave y delicada pero sin perder presencia de manera puntual. Buen emulador.
