Basically what Fletcher said. It was a suggestion from him when I first bought my Drawmer 1969. I sent him an email and asked what things he was digging with it besides 2-mix. He said he liked running it in series for tracking vocals. I think he mentioned some general settings, but I don't remember.

I just listened to a mix I did tonight and I might go in tomorrow and run a second compressor from the first and back the first off a bit (on the lead vox).

You can use two channels of the same unit or two different units. I often track vocals with the Manley VoxBox pre and limiter (lately not the compressor...) and then feed into the '69, hen hit the tape deck.
