I want to start a mass movement to persuade Andy Hong to let me review this unit... I'm going to need your help. Are you with me?

I have one. Very cool. Very clean, but the compressor/limiters could have been left off each channel and it wouldn't have hurt anyones feelings. They're really useless. Aside from using them as "crucial over" type limiters, does Anyone have any tips on utilizing the comp/limiters in these where they sound worth anything? I've had mine for a couple years, but just haven't taken the time to try and make 'em work. BUT, the pre's sound great and with the wordclock option card, it can sync to a master clock....very cool.
