    idk why i never tried this one out before

    vari-mu compression is cool as hell, this also works as a tube overdrive box. There is a little finagling to get the levels to compress properly at times, but this thing provides so much mojo. It's become a go-to for bass & drums especially.

    Heavenly Combo for Ballad Vocals – 176B into LA-2A Silver!

    I just tried running my vocal chain with the UAD 176 compressor followed directly by the LA-2A Silver, and the result was absolutely stunning — especially for ballads. The 176 gives me that upfront, vintage control with character, and then the LA-2A Silver smooths everything out with buttery compression and warmth. Together, they bring out the soul and emotion in my singing like nothing else. Highly recommended for anyone working with expressive, intimate vocals!
