I'd like to give more impressions of a bunch of compressors on different sources, but I haven't been mixing out of the box in a while and I sold off half of them. I think if I fill out the rack with more goodies I'll probably use it a lot more. I've been in a mostly songwriting/demo mode for a good while now which is all about speed and efficiency which is where software rules. I really do enjoy using outboard vs. VSTs, it's a worthwhile pursuit.

I like the limiter on the 501s, too, I've used those a few times with good results.

here they all are nestled together in my rack
