Drum buss Compressor

I use it with Dfam and Leploop Multicassa(external input) running through a Jomox Resonator and then to RNLA. The compressor does a good job on emphasizing the transients and helps sound cut through the mix.

really nice indeed..

I like the the fact that it's really portable as a stereo compressor. the controls are very easy to use. the knobs are comfortable and it can also hold on the smooth surfaces. Really nice indeed!

This is great

It's very easy to operate. It sounds great. You can put in on the master, you can put it on a bus, on a channel. It just works. Really great product. Good value also.

great little colored compressor

if you're looking for a great compressor that adds character to your source, and you don't want to break the bank.... the RNLA is probably your best option.

it really has a noticeable color, so obviously it doesn't fit everything, but when it does, it sounds amazing.

one "con" I would mention is the knobs feel cheap, and in some positions they are harder to turn. other than that best bang for your buck
