sockdeluxe_mikey Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Hi all! Here we have for sale here is my dbx 163x - it's a one slider rackmount compressor that deservedly has a really good reputation as a quality bass compressor. Being a rackmount studio compressor however also means that it compresses many different things very well - as a taster, I have read that it can be very pleasant and punchy for snare drums and even rap vocals! I used this mostly in quite a subtle fashion, so as just to mildly bring together rogue peaks, but the high compression 'pumping' sounds it does are complete knockout and leave no doubt as to being able to do the job properly - down and dirty in its style. As can be appreciated, having a stereo pair allows for handy operation, obvious examples being able to handle true stereo independent compression in a bass setup or using both sides for independent compression settings for different sources in a studio. As can be seen, the front panel is really as simple as it gets with a very easy to read -db LED's and the compression sliders, which is why for some people (including me) it makes for a really nice compressor to use in a live setup. There is also a 'Hi-Z' input on the front, which means that an instrument can be plugged straight into the front of the compressor and then can be hooked up to your amp etc. via the out, and this is an option alongside the more traditional studio Sends and Returns on the back. It's pretty obviously not a showroom condition unit, but I think it's genuinely kept fairly smart considering its age and it's really not a unit that needs to be babied too much - the majority of the wear is also pretty unnoticeable when racked up. It is for sale at [size=5][b][/b]£85 inc. postage[/size] or a possible trade, and can either be collected from my home in Shoreham-by-Sea nr. Brighton or posted. If anybody has any questions, then do not hesitate to drop me a line! Cheers for reading Edited June 20, 2010 by sockdeluxe_mikey
sockdeluxe_mikey Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure that may be the kind of pedal I'm after ... thanks anyway! Would you have anything else you were thinking of trading? I wouldn't rule out putting some cash you way as well on top. Edited June 18, 2010 by sockdeluxe_mikey
sockdeluxe_mikey Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Saturday morning bump, and its only price drop! Feel free to make offers and I am definitely considering trades as well if this does not go by this evening then it will be eBay fodder I'm afraid. Edited June 19, 2010 by sockdeluxe_mikey

joegarcia Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Whoops, bit late but I have a Pearl Chorus and Flanger, Vesta Fire reverb pedal, and some Seymour Duncan 1/4 pounder P pickups I could offer for trade.
sockdeluxe_mikey Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Sorry joegarcia - I've just returned to say that the item has actually sold already! Really surprised about that. Anyway, I'll have a look into those pedals and see if there's anything I'd be happy to lay down cash from the sale for Edited June 21, 2010 by sockdeluxe_mikey
