dbx 166XL Dual-Channel Compressor / Limiter / Gate (Made in USA)

Up for sale is a classic studio and live sound workhorse—the dbx 166XL dual-channel compressor/limiter/gate.

Key Features: * **Made in USA:** This is the highly sought-after earlier revision built in Salt Lake City, Utah, preferred by audio engineers over the later overseas models.

Versatile Dynamics Control: Features dbx's classic OverEasy® or hard-knee compression, independent expander/gate, and PeakStop® limiting to protect your system from audio transients.

Flexible Routing: Operates as two independent channels or linked for true stereo (Stereo Couple mode). Each channel also includes sidechain inserts for ducking and frequency-dependent compression.

Condition: The unit is in great working condition. It shows typical cosmetic wear from regular rack mounting (standard rack rash around the mounting ears) and some minor surface scratches on the chassis, but this does not affect functionality whatsoever. All knobs, buttons, and rear panel connections (XLR and 1/4" TRS) are fully intact and operate correctly.
