Revive Audio Modified: Dbx 266XS Dual Compressor, Limiter, Gate, Hot Rodded, W/ PLATINUM:VCA+GERMANIUM LIMITER MOD

DBX 266XL Compressor/Limiter/Gate with Revive Audio Modifications & VCA Upgrade

Up for sale is a DBX 266XL Dual Channel Compressor, Limiter, and Gate in excellent condition, professionally modified by Revive Audio with their highly regarded 166 Modification Service, VCA Upgrade, Germanium Limiter Mod, Burr Brown input/output stage upgrades, and power supply modifications.

I purchased this unit in August 2024 and am only selling it because I am upgrading to WES Audio gear for its recall functionality. This compressor has been a key part of my drum sound, particularly on toms, and has received countless compliments from clients and fellow engineers.

Modifications Include:

• Revive Audio 166 Modification Service
• VCA Upgrade
• Germanium Limiter Mod
• Burr Brown Input & Output Stage Upgrades
• Power Supply Modifications

Benefits of the Upgrades:

• Increased headroom
• Wider frequency response
• Greater detail and clarity throughout the audio spectrum
• Lower noise floor
• Fuller, larger sound
• Smoother limiting characteristics with vintage-style Germanium mojo

The Germanium Limiter modification significantly reduces the harsh distortion often associated with limiting, making this unit especially effective on drums while also excelling on vocals, guitars, bass, and other sources.

Features:

• Dual-channel compressor
• Peak limiter
• Expander/gate
• Stereo linking capability
• Balanced XLR and 1/4" connections

This is a fantastic-sounding unit that combines the reliability of the DBX 266XL with the sonic improvements of Revive Audio's premium modifications.
