I just have to say this is one of my workhorses.

All the way I wanted the sound of the SSL E-sereies. After working out mixes on the fantastic piece of eqipment the E-series is, I realized that the Ashly "helped" me in the pre-prod stage. Due to studio rent I had to prepeare my tracks properly. The CL52B were used on several tracks. I wonderd then if it was right to do this or not, I neded to to do diffrent settings thrughout the song (and that's timeconsuming you know). When I got to the studio, I compeared flat audio, flat audio thru the E-series compressor with my pre-prod done on the CL52B. No doubt I selected those tracks, mixed it down with the G-series compressor; happy.

My reason to post this is to get feedback from others using this device.

It's based on a DBX2150A VCA
 
I have an Ashly SC-50 at home, that's the mono version.
Like it quite a bit on electric guitars, seems like a very "fast" and upfront compressor.

Doesn't sound at all like my Gyraf-style SSL clone - but that can be because of many reasons...

My 2 cents.
