Good point. If I have 2 oscillators, and no control over their phase as they mix, then an option to choose 25% vs 75% for one of them would at least offer some variation instead of none.

As for compression, this [0] is a good intro. Most commonly it is applied to a signal deliberately to achieve a desired outcome, but I'm referring to a (generally) undesired speaker nonlinearity [1] near its maximum power handling capacity.
