Ive had one setting around for about 6 months and never hooked up as I have some really good compressors. Decided to give it a try as a insert on the board with my acoustic/electric. Really pretty decent leveler. Anybody else using these??? What are your thoughts?

I sold both of mine. I felt that they sounded sort of cloudy and it's not a sound that I'm normally after, so I moved on.

There are some mods for those somewhere online, which help them out a bit. And yeah, they are plenty decent enough to use, but I wouldn't kick anything else off the insert to patch these instead..

No doubt not great but very useable...I was expecting some noisy pumping machine. To me sounds better than plugins.

I use mine sometimes. Think I gave 150 bucks for it or something. It's better than a plugin.

I think it sounds more analog than a plugin for sure. I don't think it's better though. I guess to each their own.

I kept mine for years for a single purpose--it was GREAT when clients sent modelled Egtr tracks...it's slow enough it leaves the pick attack but the tube can be dialed to kind of saturate--it really brings those 2d POD tracks to dimensional life.
As a general purpose compressor....not very useful.
I simply stopped taking those kinds of tracks. If you must use them, get the DI, and I'll charge you to reamp it--either way, no need for the VLA.

I sold mine, too, but it was pretty good, especially for the money. I thought the thick bluriness of it or whatever worked pretty well on bass, and it was good for pumpy drum room smashing. I might have used it on vocals, I don't remember. I'd probably rate it as better than a plugin as well. On acoustic guitar I preferred the RNLA. I still have my Symetrix 501 for bass, and I don't miss my RNCs really at all. My next round of hardware is going to be higher end, DIY.

Think you guys have helped me decide not to buy one. Had considered it.
