@ Onan - great idea to use a old graphic eq as your gain control, that sounds ideal!
I've got my (ebay b-stock) unit up and running now, and what a fantastic box it is! The saturation in particular is very tasty. I'm controlling the comp threshold with the art splitmix4, as mentioned above, which works a treat.
Here's a surprise snag though - I'm getting nasty ground hum. I'm using an unbalanced patch bay (i know, i know... but nothing else in my rack is giving me any grief). So a question for anyone more electrically literate than I am: is it ok to use a 2 prong plug with the fatso? Or is there anything else I can do short of replacing my patchbay and all my cables with balanced ones or putting a ground loop isolator in the signal path, which sounds like a horrible idea in terms of fidelity.
