Differences of the 3 Classic compressors?

So in an attempt for trying to find the right "color" of compression for a certain type of vocal "sound", I thought I might ask: Would anyone care and try to attempt explaining the basic character differences between the LA-2A, LA-3A, and 1176LN and what type of instruments vocalists music you'd usually think to try each one on first during a mix?

Thank You for your time in advance.

Multing Tips for Digital Mixes

In an earlier discussion Julian mentioned that he has been having great success in rock tracks by multing the kick and snare to several channels and then combining them to get more punch and depth to his digital mixes.

I would love to know some very detailed settings people are using to do this on kick, snare, and even vocals and bass.

Thanks so much.
