I intern at a pro studio with a couple dbx 160A's that I love the sound of on a couple things, but sadly don't have the cash to get those at home. I've got a few decent compressor plug-ins, but I'm feeling the need for some hardware goodness (even if its cheap goodness). Any advice (or further reviews of the VLA II, my best option at the moment) would be appreciated. |
look on ebay for an old ashly, symetrix or dbx 160 etc...
much better than the new lowend offerings like FMR
and stuff like that. It's not as good as like a distressor or something but still great if you find the right model.
