The mic pre is gorgeous all on its own. Absolutely dead silent. It’s forward and deep with fine professional polish - on par with other first-choice mic pres. The Comp/Sat is magic - hence Dave Derr is a witch. Only a witch could conjure this kind of magic. There is no other explanation. The knob starts at good and goes to heavenly satanic. You know the part in the song that gets real quiet and intimate and the lights dim way down and then fifteen-thousand bass drums explode into a planet-shifting magnetic plasma with a harmonic intensity that nearly bursts your pleasure button from inside all your souls throughout the multiverse? That’s the range of this unit. Buy two.
