I am sure it is a cool sounding unit, just like many other highend comps out there....but the thing that makes the x-comp stand out is that it has a unique feature - the blend parameter for highs and lows. it is basically parallel compression for separate feeuqencybands - no other comp I know of gives you that feature. and it happens to sound stellar on drums.....you can smack the kick with the signature SSL smack and then dial the bass back in like with no other comp....before I used to eq the bass back up after the SSL smacking, but with the x-comp I have more sonic options that happen to be perfect for what I like....
