Dbx 166 XL Compressor / Limiter /GateUsed, but in good shape.Everything seems to be working just fine.Expander threshold knob is missing, but the pot still works fine.Auction is for 166XL with AC power cable only, no other accessories included.Grab it while it lasts!!!Here is the description for DBX's website.Most compressor/gates provide less than musical compression, coupled with gating that swallows transients--or closes early, cutting off decay and reverb tails. The superb engineering in the 166XL ensures that both its compression and gating provide versatility and excellent sonic performance in situations where other compressor/gates typically produce undesirable processing artifacts.When using the 166XL's Attack and Release controls, artists and engineers will find that the center settings deliver classic dbx compression, while the full control range produces voicings that extend from slow "leveling" to aggressive "peak" limiting.The 166XL's advanced gate circuitry uses a completely new, program-dependent timing algorithm to produce ultra-smooth release characteristics--even with complex signals, such as voice or reverb decays. dbx engineers went on to take advantage of the wide dynamic range and high precision of the dbx V1 VCA to design in an extra-wide threshold range and ensure top gating performance for each application. read more
