I did some searches on this compressor but little comes back. Is it a
good multi-roll mix and tracking comp?
Thanks in advance.

It's my fav main bus compressor right now.

It's basically an expanded SC2 - the "style" knob is very handy, but the 4
modes do not sound very close to the originals... of course.

You could track through it. I use my pair of SC2.2s on vocals, drums,
acoustic guitars.
It's reasonably close to the SC2 in Green Box mode.
It's a very colourful sound, but if you happen to like that sound, what a
joy.

The stereo width pot is actually very useful too!

Hehe, I read up about it recently, AFAICR the whole thing works in the
MS domain, since TFPro couldnt get the tracking to work in stereo
(L/R) mode. That says says something about ancient technology

Dude, have you ever worked with optos???

Matching them is nearly impossible. If you can manage to, a few years later
they will probably drift. Even using LEDs (pretty stable) you still have the
problems of photo resistors aging.

Nothing wrong with ancient technology.

You just sometimes have to find a way to make it work.

Ted's idea was brilliant.

Yep, bench engineer decades ago, on Urei stuff, quite difficult to
align, but I prefer them to fets

I still prefer relays for switchting analogue audio to the solid state
stuff

Sure was. I wasn't knocking Ted's stuff at all. M+S is very useful at
times (FM stereo radio for instance)
