RE: 01V EG OR COMP
sounds like the guy means the stereo mix coming from the 01V. It does benefit from a bit of warming up (as does most stuff), you could try a valve-based compressor like the TLA C1 or dbx 566 (what a looker too!) but I'd suggest going for a combination of valves, compression, EQ and full-range enhancement in the form of the SPL Vitalizer Mk2T. It has two valves, one in the stereo expansion circuit and another in the enhancer itself. There's also a one-knob bass compressor which is very handy, and a selection of tuning/process knobs which are straightforward to operate. As for the sound - it's superb, really sweet and makes everything sound like it 'should'... hard to explain but it sounds so 'right' y'know? The price is surprisingly low, much less than the TLA/dbx valve compressors which only do one thing; the SPL does several things extremely well and without any hassles. Just pop it on the XLR mix outs of the 01V, hook it up to your recording/monitoring system, then sit back and enjoy.
