I have been using this outboard compressor and it's sister unit, the ART PRO MPA II mic preamp, in my input chain for about three years. I use it for tracking everything. I've found it to be a smooth compressor that adds a bit of warmth without imposing too much on the signal. It works on guitars, vocals, keyboards, bass, etc.
There have been a few threads about the PRO VLA II over the years, including one recently.
Here's a review. If you don't know Glenn's channel, he's entertaining.
