damn the threshold isn't stepped. What I do in these circumstances is leave it in the sweet spot, and automate or regulate the signal hitting the unit with a trim insert directly before the hardware insert. Works perfectly. And on compressors like an LA3a or LA2a, I never have to change any settings on the unit itself unless it's something that requires a wildly different setting.

Makes sense. still would've been nice. Oh well.

Makes sense. still would've been nice. Oh well. yeah, it would have, but for me, the threshold is the FIRST pot that I wouldn't care as much about. Almost all the "inputs" (as well as outputs) and/or "thresholds" on my outboard remain constant and I push or pull into them with a trim. Less stuff to recall in the hybrid setup....

I remember reading somewhere on here about how you did that. Pretty smart really. Im sure it helps that you also have a LOT of gear to use so you have options to try here and there. I'll get there someday. Right now i have too little gear so I need it more flexible. So everything gets recalled but whatever. Wouldn't trade analog for plugins any day.

Can you get a stepped version? Could modify possibly yourself. Depends on how its wired up. Shame as everything else is stepped. That’s a big bummer for me, and a reason to not buy this piece that looks pretty badass. Wouldn’t want to deal with doing recalls without a stepped threshold, it’s just too difficult to get back - even with running tones.

Let your mixes succeed with the new Heritage Audio Successor Master Bus Compressor. Why would you settle with sterile VCAs in your mix or instrument bus duties now that the Successor is available? Sterile VCAs??? C'mon guys... You can do better than that. VCA compressors are as useful as any other compressors including diode ones. Horses for courses really. No need for such cheesy marketing.

I really enjoyed my blue dbx 160sl when i had it. I found it quite useful on many sources. I realise that there was better comps for those sources but until i got more different styles of comps for specific sources that dbx unit was very useful.

Almost all the "inputs" (as well as outputs) and/or "thresholds" on my outboard remain constant and I push or pull into them with a trim. Less stuff to recall in the hybrid setup.... That's how I do it.... My attack and release are the only knobs I touch and I only do that if something doesn't feel right. On my buss compressor the mix knob I will sometimes adjust as well, just depends on the style of music. Those DIYRE EQ's even stay static, rolling the top off with light boost (even with 3 pairs of transformers in the path) cures the digitius and kills most of the phasey high end I used to hear when I would flip in M/S on the Satori. I would love to try one of these boxes, I bet they would sound really great in front of an SSL style, maybe half the compression on both or do a slow attack/release into a slow attack release. I haven't done that one the buss, but diode bridge comps do sound really good when they're just kissing. I'd love to have one as a permanent drum buss compressor, at that price point I may just do that after I give it a try

So this still hasn't come out yet...
I've been eyeing a lot of different diode bridge compressors lately.
D-comp Stams DIY Racked kits V8 by IGS
The V8 is probably the most tempting will all stepped controls. But not parallel mix built in.
I think I'm going to go with this guy. I like it's 1u and a true stereo compressor. Hoping I can easily modify the threshold and mix knob to 21 or 24 stepped elams

I like that one a lot. They make a mastering version too that's on my list. The SOC-M is probably higher on my list though. That thing looks amazing

I hope it isn't too different to a 2254. I love the sound of those things.

This looks interesting. I like the additional features and that it's 1U as well.
So, is this part of the Elite line, then?
