I would recommend looking at another Behringer model that swaps other useful features in place of the EQ/FX processor.

It's a pretty important feature when using a compressor

The compression is a fantastic feature and the board is well designed and sounds fantastic

Lots of nice features

The EQ is a nice feature as well, especially since you can choose to employ it independently for either the main or aux outputs.

Powerful features for the money

I liked to features packed into the unit, as they allowed me to streamline my setup
