RE: Same question asked YET AGAIN.. can someone help me in MY situation?

Because I didn't want my signal compressed.  Plus, the Vortex is hissy 
enough as is without adding a compressor to the party.  And, much of 
the fun of the Vortex comes from the patches where the input volume 
dynamically controls some other parameter.  Compressing your input 
dynamics would defeat much of that feature.
