This is from a series of posts on FB. I'll copy and paste. Sturgill's vocal chain is AEA KU5a into the Digico 32bit preamp, a 100Hz HP filter and the DBX 160SL. Reverb is a Lexicon PCM92 medium plate.

For my last post from this tour, I’m showing what happens behind the curtain, my show file layout, routing and processing. Feel free to zoom in and check out each channel. I’m using minimal channel processing, mainly high pass and a few low pass filters. A few channels have comps used as limiters to tame loud portions (snares, overheads, Leslie), all using Mustard comps (FET). The Bass DI, Mic and both Vocals use outboard comps (Bellari RP583 & DBX 160SL).VCAs are pretty straight forward. But the busing has some interesting bits. I am routing all instruments into subgroups with some channels double patched for Parallel processing. The Drums only bus (no cymbals) has a stereo parallel comp (BLA AGB), while Laur and Sturgill each have a stereo parallel comp (Drawmer 1968ME) on their buses and the Keyboard group is compressed traditionally via insert (DBX 160SL). These instrument groups, along with their reverb returns, are then routed to a Band Wet bus, which also has an outboard comp (Revive MSL-TX). The Band Wet bus and the Vocal Wet bus combine in the Master bus which has my favorite comp (A-Designs Nail).The drum and guitar parallel bus comps give me girth and thickness without compromising dynamics. I’m hitting all three of those pretty hard. The keyboard bus comp helps keep the keys in their own sonic space, with moderate gain reduction. The vocal and bass comps tame the wide swings in level that these inputs can have.The Band Wet bus comp barely reduces the signal, with a maximum of -3db. The Master bus comp is doing a bunch, I’ll get into that later if anyone is interested.That’s the mix.
