2nd clip sounds better to me, its got smooth warmth and clarity, and maintains its balance throughout, especially the dimension in the low mids as compared to 1 which seems to flatten out dimensionally except for whoomph in the low mids, it also appears to have a light wash of grain, noise or hash on it as well? listen to the D chord at 5 seconds in, it pops as strikingly different in both samples, bottom line for me is 2 sounds more like a natural acoustic in a room to me, that is what i'm looking for in an acoustic guitar compressor, 1 might serve well for some other tasks.

Shines on bass. Best so far. Lot of punch.

Shines on bass. Best so far. Lot of punch. Yeah it's great on bass. The bass sample I posted here (as I said) was intentionally over compressing and I was just monitoring in headphones. It can be really great for locking the bass in it's spot.

Ordered one last night from Sweetwater. Had to update my credit card info, it had been a while since I bought anything. Shameful

Thank you for removing all possibilities of my buying a GAP LA3 knock-off by accident, error or mental defect. All doubt has been eliminated. Good Frigging Job!!

With all the comments I comletely missed the comparison on page 3. That being said I prefer number 2 which is the SA-3A and it had definiately confirmed my choice for going DIY and the SA3A.
Thank you some much Ragan and jcoutu1. Thanks, Matt

Good bad or indifferent I ran every source in this mix through it, even the buss mix before I mastered it. I don't think they sound bad honestly. The t4b cell they are using in these is very solid. The compression characteristics are spot on. It could defiantly benefit from a set of Sowter trans. though. That's probably what I'll end up doing to these. https%3A//soundcloud.com/herb-music/a-better-man

I really dislike what it does to vocals and guitars, to be honest. I am rather unimpressed with this unit's sonic stamp on percussion elements too. It does have an impact on bass, but sounds nothing like what an actual LA3a (or, and I keep preaching this, an LA4) sounds like on bass either.

Wait, wait, wait...are you saying you don't like the GAP COMP-3a, Ward??? I couldn't tell from your slagging of it in every single post ; ) I'm gonna go out on a limb here (bear with me) and suggest that you should NOT buy one. I know it may seem rash but my gut is telling me it's the right decision. Go ahead, take it out of your cart at Sweetwater...you'll thank me later.
