« All-purpose compressor »

Published on 09/19/14 at 02:10
Two channels: Gate, VCA compressor, over easy/hard knee, peak limiter.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use because it has only the most basic controls, which allows you to find the right setting pretty fast.

SOUND QUALITY

Fabulous, like the legendary 160, much better than the more recent versions (166A/166XT)
Drums, bass, guitars

OVERALL OPINION

I've used it for quite some time in my studio, I generally use it for overheads with 2db gain reduction when recording. During mixdwon I use it on the toms, but sometimes also on the snare or kick.
