The TK BC-1 is a serious contender for a 2-buss comp amongst other program mixing. The thing is smooth as butter, and it's tweakable in a lot of ways with the wet/dry control, but it can take way more punishment then a lot of clones, and the "sound' of the gain cell is almost non-existent. Its is cleaner, less grabby but still precise and responsive, [like you would expect from an SSL clone] and it offers similar gain action to a "diode bridge" gain cell to my ear, where there is nothing but smooth control of compression. It uses a VCA, but I've never heard a VCA comp act this smooth.
