Not plugged in and never can see it happening
Sound
I think this is not a useful piece of gear to own. The sound quality is poor, having a very transistor esque tone. I have a mostly synth based studio and found that all my gear sounded beter without this thing in the line. I tried it in every confoguration I could think of between the output device and the desk (even between desk and amplifier) everytime I got no benefit from it. Having now worked in Cubase SX and relying solely on plugin compressors I don't know why i ever bought this... Software compressors are so much better, particularly the Waves bundle or Sonic Finalizer (Voxengo).

Well I mean if you're in a guitar band and record to an 8 track (still) and never intend on buying a computer and want a compressor thios might be okay...
