pretty good for free...

this thing sounds to me like tis trying to sit in the vintage USA tube stereo mastering camp like a Fairchild or Sta-Level. Its not a bad bus compressor but doesn't hold its own againstthe waves puig-child nor do I like it as much as some other freebies like Molot. I'm not sure I've ever used it on a finished mic but I definitely willshoot it out here and there because its not the same flavor as anything else in this camp.
