Matthias Millhoff...
I have the pleasure to try out the SOC20 right now and I just want to
say, that I'm totally blown away!! I
was looking for another mixbus and mastering compressor for a while
now and I tested a few (STC-8, VSC-2, dynax2). Although these are very
different designs, for my taste my good old tube-tech LCA-2B always
gave me the most convincing results. Only the dynax2 was catching my
attention but it is more like a creative tool. Probably I was looking
for an optical compressor with a more sophisticated approach than the
dynax2 and guess what...? Since two days I have one in my rack... the
SOC20! I can't say how much I like the sound of the SOC20. It is just
the perfect companion to the LCA-2B, pretty much the opposite of its
sound, in a very good way! Thank you for designing and building such
a great sounding compressor.
