Overall:

I have use this for bass vocals and up right bass for rockibilly and it has made a world of diference, always smooths out the sound and no matter how you set it up, its Super quiet (where most compressos would hiss) Ive used it for years now and love but never even needed the second channel. tho its good to have if I ever would need it

This is a great unit for the money. Easy to set up and operate. I've had previously owned one of these units. If you're on a budget and need some compression, this is the one to buy!

The Standard

This compressor is the standard in this price range.  It works very well and if you can't get it to, then you probably need to learn how to use it.  This is not a studio grade compressor, but it a really solid, extremely useful piece of gear for live shows.  I almost have to stop believing these reviews, it's almost painful to realize how many people cannot setup gear correctly and then blame the gear.  I noticed the same thing on the reviews for rack-mount EQ's on here.  Just a shame.  Bottom line, good compressor, learn to use it correctly, it will treat you right.  Been using one of this same model for a while now, works great.

This unit does a nice job for basic compressor needs. It does however really lift the noise floor on highly compressed sounds. You will hear the gain loud when the gate kicks off. This will happen in most cases however other units with better specs will have a better signal to noise ratio than this unit (what do you expect at this price level?) I have not compared to the dbx units at this level however this unit has good features and works well for alot of applications so I consider it a good value for the price they are asking.If you need better signal to noise ratios spend more $$$$ on a better unit. Recommended.

lots of knobs no substitute

Audio engineer, pro musician, installer for the last 15 years. 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.
