the input stage of the fatso is designed to be a harmonic distortion generator; the harder you push it, the more 2d and (eventually) 3rd order harmonics pile up. this becomes even more true when you engage the tranny emulation, which lightens the sub-bass and adds even more 'life' up top.
the fatso is now my undisputed #1 bass compressor. it locks that instrument down like nobody's business, and adds all these subtle overtones that make it so clear and present in a mix. bass is such a piece of cake to mix now.
fwiw, the gp/spank combo is my favorite for this app, and i hit it hard, floating between 5-10db reduction. for synth bass and other stuff that's uberdeep, i'll slam it into the red... instant seal bass: massive, pillowy, deep, and totally out of the way.
