Tonelux TX5C

Amazing comp for everything!

This comp is so amazing, especially with percussive sources. It can squeeze amazing kicks and snares from any weak/ordinary original ones. The headroom is very high, so you can really smash the make up gain. I have just ordered the 2nd one to try them on the sub buss.

The only disadvantage it is difficult to read the knobs so u need to consult the manual every time or to remember by heart what each knob does. Also the leds are a bit too bright indeed, so better not starring at it for too long :) But these are peanuts, if you are serious to produce quality music :)

too many annoying problems

The most annoying thing for me on this unit was an auto gain that you didn't seem to be able to turn off, really bugged me.

Another small but surprisingly bugging problem was the brightness of the led lights.

The GR meter was pulsing, so brightly and fast i swear i almost had a migraine. lord knows why they chose to make these lights so bright
