Looking for opinions here...

I used to use my Ashdown Rootmaster with the compression always on at around 12 o'clock. Compression-wise it wasn't doing much but what I noticed more than anything was a big volume boost.

 

I traded up to an ABM 600 which is a beautiful amp for the EQ and drive. But the compressor.... It doesn't seem to do much at all except make everything a lot quieter. 

 

Am I doing it wrong? Is anyone happily using the ABM compressor? Why would the Rootmaster compressor be a big volume boost and the ABM be a huge volume cut?

The compressors on both my RM500 & ABM600 work the same as your ABM, a volume cut. I find that around 2pm/3pm on the control is as near as the uncompressed volume as I can get, but at that point it’s too compressed for me.
