theshea, I used one of my 76ADGs on bass last night. It crushes amazingly well! Beautiful on bass tone. D-mode, input on -33 output on 16. 4:1 ratio. Attack on 4 release on 5. Recovery time is next to nothing!

i am still waiting on my adg ... in the meantime i got me a kt-76 and did some testing today against the waves CLA blacky and bluey (i prefer the bluey), logic fet compressor and my drawmer 1978 set to mimick a 1176. did snare, drum room and bass guitar. kt-76 sound better on snare and bass. CLA smashed the drum room better ;-) it's def more fun with hardware: you turn the knobs and you really and quickly hear when it sounds better and good. with software you turn and twist your knobs and all i hear is tiny differences, thinking "is it really better? is it really doing something?" but the real eye opener to me today was when i recorded acoustic guitar. first i recorded the acoustic guitar pure than i did itb compressing with cla and logic fet comp. than i re-recorded the guitar with the kt-76 on the way in (pepper setting) and it sounded almost like a record already!!! i wasn't able to get near that sound with the post itb compressor method! so, from now on, i will record almost always with some comp on the way in - can't wait to get my stam adg! The first thing I tracked after getting the 1176-KT was a drums/bass/acoustic trio and it ended up on acoustic as well. All the principal channels went down through some compression; Kick - 160XT Snare - 160XT Bass - KT-2A Acoustic - 1176-KT Vocal - FC526 I'm a fan of what compressors do directly after a live preamp, as well as playing to that sound as it's going down.
