I would call a 160 vintage sounding, I dont know where you got that. The 160 is VCA based not is not full of character like a tube compressor would be. If character is what you consider a vintage sound, then I wouldnt consider a 160 vintage. . 160 are just good workhourse comps. I like it on elec bass.
What the 'h ell' are you talking about. And are you even addressing what I was saying? So what I used a word vintage to describe an old piece of "gear." Damn I didn't know adjectives were that important in a forum?

Anyway, it's a vintage piece of gear because it's old. Duh
