rockdog Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Here is my 160XT rack compressor. Up for sale as I am moving away from a rack set-up. This is a 1990's Hong Kong-manufactured unit. Regarded by some as one of the greatest compressors of all time. Review here http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/dbx160xt.shtml and here http://www.bn1studio.co.uk/shop/compressors/dbx-160xt-compressor/ Simple layout. Hard / soft knee option, preset attack and release. Adjustable compression and threshold. LED metering for input or output and compression level. Lovely and transparent at lower compression levels but never gets unmanageable at higher levels of compression. XLR and 1/4 inch connector options. I just set it up and forget it is there and it just puts the bass where you want it in the mix. I have been gigging with this for the past couple of years and it just does the job really well. Thanks for looking and do message me if you would like any more information. Edited October 30, 2021 by rockdog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1957 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 A lovely, lovely piece of kit mate. I use a Keeley these days but if I still had my rack one of these would definitely be in it. GLWTS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockdog Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Still have this amazing compressor for sale. I am downsizing from a rackmount set-up so it has to go which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
