Low end can make a compressor overreact.

The 7721 sidechain high-pass filter keeps the kick and sub from dominating the detector. The bottom stays heavy. The rest of the mix stops ducking every time the 808 hits.

Before reaching for the EQ on a vocal, hear what the 7603 XMOD does with gain alone. Push the input for character, then trim the output to keep the recording level in check.

On a drum bus, the 7721's attack knob decides how much stick gets through before the compressor clamps down. Start slow, speed it up until the snare loses its crack, then back off a notch.

A pair of 7603s can track all day and finish mixes all night.

A dB of low end and a touch of top is usually plenty.

The 7603 XMOD shares the 7603's Class A circuit and inductor EQ, adding Carnhill UK transformers that give it a thicker, more “coloured” voice.
