Amek.

Hello, I also have that Amek unit, it is the DMCL is it not?
Two things: 1) you need not let the lack of stepped controls prevent you from using the compressors, if you eyeball each set of controls to be similar (on a unit that is calibrated nicely such as that one) then I doubt you would be able to hear a problem in the stereo image. Just be judicious in you settings. It's important to listen as you operate these controls!
2) You can use the Link switch on compressor A to lock the two compressors together.

Just be careful, although it's a great compressor it hits really hard. I wouldn't put the attack dial lower than 12:00 (and use gental ratio's) until you get used to it or you may squash your tracks harder than you think!

Peace
