Which 160 do you mean?
The original 160's (aka 160VU) have such lousy GR metering that with the needle just barely quivering they're already compressing a ton. And the hard knee attack can sound really harsh if you're not super careful.
The 160x/xt/a's, on the other hand, are fairly idiot-proof; you can pretty much set them up by eye, especially with the "over easy" soft knee engaged.
