Hey guys,

Looking to possibly get OTB and invest in some outboard compression. Curious as to what anyone hear might be using/like.

I'm leaning towards a stereo comp that could be used on 2 buss. Not trying to break the bank. Stay under a 1000. I'm not opposed
to DIY and have looked at the Hairball 1176 clone kits, and might build one but still want a stereo comp.

Things I have my eye on.
Upper Budget
Chameleon Labs 7720
Daking FET 3
OVERSTAYER STEREO VCA COMPRESSOR

Lower Budget
FMR RNLA
ART PRO VLA ii
