Compressor on Kick or Share?

[Quai34]

absolutely! Unless Bluey is very different, 1176 style comps have so much gain on tap, you can use them as mic pres - not for condensers, obv (no phantom power). I do it all the time with my Hairball and Audioscape units.

But you could have a phantom power box, I have one from Radial, well, that's a good idea, thanks a lot for all the info, great ideas.
