I don't do much SSB but when I do I get 10 dB peak compression with the CMP set at 12. I use a Heil Proset with the electret mic I got from Elecraft. I regularly get unsolicited comments of "really good audio." My TX equalizer is set to the "K9YC recommendations." I can't imagine what it would sound like at CMP=30, but I bet it wouldn't be good.
