What is it you're trying to find out about it? I have a broken one at home.

Yeah but I'm lazy. I need special consideration. Haha just kidding.

More on topic...I had one of these and there are plenty of much better compressors out there. In my opinion, it was lifeless and twisting the knobs (other than the sustain knob) did very little.

In its defense, I was trying to use it for country; so it may be useful for someone who needs it just for general things. It just never gave me "that sound" that I was looking for. YMMV.

Well it probably would benefit from a CA3080 OTA rather than the LM3080. Maybe some better trannies too, but can't say for sure since I never heard it in functioning form.

Isn`t that one less transparent?

No, the CA3080 is the better of the two.
