my favorite stereo limiter/expander

I have 2 of these and a valley people, these sound and behave exactly like the earlier dynamite in a sturdier rack case, see that review.... excellent VCA unit, versatile and extreme if you want it.... not for the timid or uninitiated

Fantastic secret little helper, especially on the drum bus!

This thing just sounds amazing to me. I love it on the drums, it makes them nice and punchy. And you have got a sidechain input, which makes it amazing if you want to sidechain your synth in the real world :)
