Hey James,

Yeah, you should try the fatso. I'm sure you can borrow one from someone in LA. Maybe you could do something like process the vocal track twice: once without any compression (with the input/tape coloration all the way up) then again using either the 1176 or buss (la2a) compression. Then mix those two to taste.

And even if you had a vintage la2a (they sound awesome), I think you could warm it up and make it a little more fizzy with the fatso.

I'm not too familiar with that vocal sound though. The fatso is great for coloring anything, be it vocals, bass, whatever.

Out of curiosity, what frequencies are you EQing with the Oxfords?
