I think they are really excellent and in general I'm not a fan of transparent. I wanna hear my money at work.... I can totally relate to this idea. Every time I end up with a transparent hardware compressor I seem to end up selling it. I guess I use compression more for tone than dynamic control. Or maybe both.

Indeed I did. It essentially limits the range of the input pot to appx 40dB so it cannot be turned "off" or all of the way down. This will make it a little less "touchy". FYI, the same mod can be done to the output pot, if someone is so inclined. Also, increasing the R value a little will decrease the range of the pot even more (for all you constant tweakers out there like dandeurloo ) Pics are worth 1000 words: Cool Jeff, man that looks really simple! I will definitely be doing this, generally if i use compression at all while tracking I like to just barely tickle with a very light ratio, and a low threshold that keeps the track in compression the whole time..., just to dense things up a bit heading into mix down round of compression, the 526 sounds bananas great, the 2;1 setting was a genius move imo, and now with this mod it should give me all the control that i need, I expect turning it into what could be the ultimate tracking comp? If it does what i think it will, I'll be picking up quite a few more of these. I will try my damndest to get some samples up with the AD4898's and Scotts 1731's over the holiday weekend, they are both quite impressive, i'm sorry to all for lagging so bad on that... You ever do this tonycamphd?

I mostly find it to be a volume monkey.
