It's actually that the VCA isn't fed from the correct source impedance (in my opinion). No sh!t, true story. In other words, it's totally possible to modify ANY That Corp VCA equipped compressor to have the same wonderful nasal hissing sounds of an authentic vintage 3630 with very little effort...including even your RNC!!! And we all know how wonderful those little gems are, right?! So don't dispair over rising prices of vintage 3630's since a completely effective 3630 mod exists for ANY That Corp VCA equipped compressor!
