| Gear nut | It seems to me that if the Distressor can mimic an 1176 or LA-2A somewhat, considering its topology wouldn't you think it could do the SSL bus thing? Anyone had any luck with this? Maybe 4:1 ratio as a starting point...

It's still an extremely versatile unit, just not for this particular use. | |

| Yes. But, the way it is implemented is not the same style of compression. The Distressor doesn't have that ultra fast type of VCA compression like the SSL. |

| But it has the ultra-fast Distressor type of compression. Brad

| The metering between the two is drastically different. It's much easier to compress 1-2 db on the ssl. |

| A Distressor will get the job done well on just about anything EXCEPT bus compression. You gotta look some place else for that.
