Hey e-cue, thanks for your post! I will try a distressor--a friend has one, and probably a few other limiters too depending on how patient the vendors are with me demoing the units. I'd like to check out the purple and the chandler, and I'd really like to check the mercury out. Dave Marquette is doing some work for me now on my v76 so I may ask him about that. But the price of the mercury would be a bit of a reach for me...in fact, my wife would cut my balls off.

I know I've tracked thru 1176s before and been very happy with the final results (again I wish I'd paid attn to settings and revision models etc), plus RD is an 1176 master so I had to ask his opinion. But, as unassailable as his work is, I have to find my own sound....so I will be trying out some stuff.

E-Cue, what do you think of the 1176 LNs?

Thanks
