Beedster Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) I spent a bit of time researching the best mid-budget rackmount compressor for bass and this kept coming up. However, having bought this, and as the result of Covid, I'm now spending most of my time on voiceovers so bought an Avalon 737 which is great for both vocal and bass so this really isn't being used. I paid £325 for the unit newly refurbished, a steal at £225 Chris Edited January 28, 2021 by Beedster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 A few reviews https://www.gearslutz.com/board/reviews/1064413-dbx-160xt.html "Typical uses for the 160xt would be Fender basses.......", so non-Fender players, you've been warned https://www.bn1studio.co.uk/shop/compressors/mono/dbx-160xt-compressor/ https://en.audiofanzine.com/studio-compressor/dbx/160X/user_reviews/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalDeep Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 God, if I had the money. These were once described to me as the SM57 of comps, and they were bang right. Well priced, solid as they come, and sound good on just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, I have to say, given the RRP of this versus the RRP of my Avalon, the difference in price is not justified by difference in performance. This is also a rugged unit that I would be happy to gig, the Avalon certainly not so. So, someone buy it before I decide to keep it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
