This comp is so amazing, especially with percussive sources. It can squeeze amazing kicks and snares from any weak/ordinary original ones. The headroom is very high, so you can really smash the make up gain. I have just ordered the 2nd one to try them on the sub buss.
The only disadvantage it is difficult to read the knobs so u need to consult the manual every time or to remember by heart what each knob does. Also the leds are a bit too bright indeed, so better not starring at it for too long :) But these are peanuts, if you are serious to produce quality music :)
