level lock

hey tchad - i am really enjoying reading all these threads.

i want to expirement on some upcoming sessions with the mono inside the kit mic and i don't have a level lock to use but do have a distressor and a 1176.

what are the characteristics of the level lock compression? if you had to emulate it on a distressor would it be like a nuke mode - with distortion? could you get in the ballpark or is it a totally different sound?

1176 will work fine, buttons down, fast A/R, lots of compression.
Distressor too, 4:1, dist3, crank it, go to nuke if you like.
