Got a 180 v2, really nice post for the money, but straight away it was very hard to compress compared to the fox transfer I had before it. I pulled it apart and it was bone dry inside, some lube helped a bit but it’s still harder to compress than anything I’ve used aside from an older reverb.
I haven’t had a ton of time to look into it more, but it seems like there is a restriction on how much air can escape through the v2.1 actuator.
Still a great deal overall but I’d pay more for it to be easier to compress!
