I have some of these chips and I have taken apart my DBX 266, replaced 
the VCA on one channel with a THAT 2150, and one of these. I could 
notice no difference between the 2 channels with the original VCA or 
either of these replaceents. I from this ****VERY**** scientific test, 
conclude that Harry is correct that these are the same. (didn't I tell 
you that Harry?)

rock on guys,

Mark
