Jane, you ignorant gear slut.
But -5 points for any other rack gear that has to say 'Pro' in its name. per channel.
Actually that Pro VLA is one of the very best compressors in its price class. 2 linkable channels of clean compression for under $300, and it does a pretty damn good job! I highly recommend it as a first compressor, it's a great value. It does a great job on vocals and bass guitar.
The Distressors blow it away though, just out of sheer character. I love the distortion modes and how they add some analog-sounding mojo to bass guitar. As soon as I sent vocals through one, I immediately recognized the sound from a few familiar records. Been loving them on kick and snare as well. I'm still learning what all they can do, though I haven't found a bad setting yet.
