When to use it

A flexible compressor for people who like to shape the character themselves, from transparent to heavily coloured. It is more open-ended than the model-switching 6030 Ultimate Compressor and less tied to one unit than the rated 1176 or LA-2A collections. Suits drums, vocals and buses.
