Maybe it's not appropriate for the material you are attempting to use it on, but that doesn't mean that for some people, and in some situations, it's not the completely sick for 2-buss processing. Seedy's link sounds great, and appropriately distorted.
One thing you can (and probably should) try, is to fig. out a way to adjust the gain BEFORE the signal hits the CV. That way, you'll have more control over how hard you are hitting it to begin with, and it will allow you to be more subtle, and/or use it's features more efficiently. I do this when running vocals thru guitar pedals, or pushing mixes through a stereo tube preamp if it's too saturated off the bat.
Spend some time with the thing. One thing I gather from your posts, is that you tend to write shit off almost immediately.

All I'm saying is this thing has NO application in a mastering or 2-bus processing environment, so it is totally misleading of TC to put "Mastering" in the product name. To be fair, I can already tell this thing is AWESOME at totally fucking sounds up, and serves a real need for that, but for "warming up/gluing-together" mixes? Not a chance. I feel had. I'm going to try to return mine for a Rooster. Maybe I could even make a killing on eBay since I think I got the last remaining new one of this (discontinued) model in the U.S.
