I really like my Pro VLA on acoustic guitars, drum rooms, and snare drum. It sounds super punchy on snare when set to auto/auto and doing about 3dB's of gain reduction. In auto release mode the release is actually faster than the "fast" mode when doing smaller amounts of gain reduction.
I highly recommend putting some NOS GE 12AT7's in there. I did atest of a bunch of different tubes and I chose these over NOS Mullards and Philips since they seemed to have the best depth and the most high end sparkle. The unit cannot be described as dark or mellow sounding with the GE's in it. I got a matched and balanced pair from thetubestore.com or tubedepot.com.
