As a multiband compressor (by its very nature) is FOUR or more compressors (hardware version), so the quality is rarely as good as the single. Compromise either way. And this way STILL has more options for parameter control.

All of it works, all of it works "differently"... This one is - by far - the easiest and cheapest to try. (As mentioned above - before I had the graphic - I used a channel of the board EQ'd into the compressor.)

Try it on an acoustic guitar WITHOUT problems; duck down a bit of the boominess and bring out a bit of the stringiness - without EQing the audible track. It works.
