La2a (Spikey attack on a lot of synthetic sources and release is too long)
Avalon EQs (Too bright, no oomph)
Avalon Comps
Vintech dual 72s (Too dark/hazed)
Amek 9098 comp
Summit TLA-100s (The DCL is a different story though)
SSL Quad Comp - Cool if the track has enough air/grime in the background. If there's a lot of separation between sounds I dont like it at all. Channel comps much cooler for eletronica imo.
Avalon AD2022
I prefer the BF1176 over the UAD1176 for pads.

With compressors & electronica the more program dependant the comp is the more skeptical I am with it. They usually try to fight pump & shaping which is the opposite of what I want.
