Yeah, the gain and knobs on the EAR are weird.. took a second to get used to. AC and DC threshold WTF? But alas, once I got the gain right at the input it was on and on. only thing i wish is it had a hardwire bypass since i'm not using it in parallel. Funny enough, although i'm sure it's cpable of really great high-fi stuff, I'm using it to decimate lead vocals (almost 10 dbs of reduction on transients) and its great. 525 behind it to catch a couple peaks, Using the level-ors in crunch mode and then filtered off the top in parallel to add just a bit of mid-range rasp and the vocals sound huge. No de-esser, no eq. Awesome.

Damn, i have to return this rental in a few days to.

btw
Daking and Wonderbar are also great, modern boutique consoles.
