Very high yuk factor.

That was my first 'full featured' comp. Not one of my best buys. Experience showed the cost/quality ratio was not good. (is it still made?
IIRC it grabbed hard even at low ratios. Was useful at slow attacks.
The gate is a joke, closes in two, long separate stages.

I've still got an earlier version of the GC2020 (probably the "A" version or whatever they called the first version)... actually it's not too bad when compared to some current low cost comp limiters. The gate is pretty smooth on this early version; I can't speak for the later versions.

I had one also and It sucked really bad and was noisy as hell, I ended up Tearing it appart and useing it for parts.....Now it is a much better unit as I built a couple nice preamps out of the Chassis and Xformer.....

I agree with Ford and the others whole heartedly. The yamaha comps, EQ's, and amps were pretty terrible. For a long time I used to actually get riders that stated that the yamaha equipment is NOT acceptable.
