Utilisation dans une configuration soit DI + Comp + Eq / soit / Preamp + Comp + Eq.
Dans les deux cas, très grosse dynamique!

Le compresseur:
- le mode new avec la particularité Sidechain externe est redoutable sur une ligne de basse

L'eq:
- très musicale dans le bas du spectre

très bon achat
(je possède également la tranche Ams Neve, les deux sont parfaites avec une musicalité différente mais toutes les deux apporte chaleur et efficacité)
