Can't say that I have, tdukex. I can't see the point of re-amping something recorded on the Avalon through the twinQ. Yeah, the twinQ is a perfectly good channel strip, but when the dust settles, the Avalon is simply one of the best solid state pres on earth. If I was going to do that, I'd either run the vox through the twinQ, or patch a standalone optical compressor into the signal chain after the Avalon. Mostly, I compress the Avalon by going out by unbalanced XLR into an RNC. That's more for dynamic control than as a sound filter. The twinQ is a worthy tool which I am proud to own, but it is not an Avalon, and I belive that placing 2 pres in series is not a good way to stage gain, as a rule. It would, however, be cool, if the box had insert points so you could access the compressor or the EQ section without going through the preamps at all. Are you listening, Alan?-Richie
