This dbx 160X Compressor/Limiter is Owned by Eric Cannata of Young The Giant.
The 160X is super-simple with just three controls: threshold, compression ratio and output gain. Threshold and output level are self-explanatory. The compression ratio is infinitely variable from 1:1 through 4:1 and 8:1 all the way to ∞:1 and beyond, to negative ratios, where output decreases with input. This allows for some pretty extreme compression effectsThe front panel also has an Over Easy switch, to change the shape of the threshold knee, meter input / output switch, bypass switch and a slave switch for stereo linking. Metering is via two horizontal LED bargraphs, one for input or output level and one for gain reduction. Dynamics of the LED displays are excellent and it’s easy to see what the compressor is doing, even from a distance and under poor lighting conditions
THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE COMPRESSOR
From YTG: These are great compressors, especially for drums. Putting them on kick/snare is awesome! You can get really nice, sticky compressions that make the drums really punch. Selling because I'm doing more stuff in the box.
