Folks, it is definitely the sound that counts, not the looks. I say keep it simple. After all, the LA-2A and the Fairchild 660 wouldn't have won any beauty contests, but I've never heard of one being kicked out of the studio
As long as it gets the job done, I don't really care what it looks like. None of my customers have ever said, "the mix sounds great, but why do you use that ugly compressor?".....
