i didnt have too much money but i knew i needed a compressor/gate..he suggested the one i already had my eyes on from reading reviews and whatnot..and being relatively new to this stuff he took it out of the box, hooked it up to the allen and heath gl2400-424 mixer they had playing some music, grabbed a mic and showed me EXACTLY what each feature did and how to use it effectively in many different situations..i already had some knowledge on the basics of compressors and whatnot but he really got me to understand and use it..

it might just have been the one good GC from listening to these stories but i love them!! keep them coming!!
thats a pretty new store, maybe they don't have any bad habits yet
