Thanks Doug. I have a passion for compressors can't be heard working and have never liked the use of a compressor for an effect. Even for guitar you won't find any noticeable compressors on my pedal boards. I want to hear the instrument or a persons voice in it's natural state, not colored, not squashed, etc.. I've used a Compellor in the past, many years ago, and maybe I don't remember it's virtue because it's presence wasn't easily detected. Now with the digital board in place I guess that even though you've peaked my interest I won't find a need to buy one any time soon. Damn it.
