Description:
|
If you really wanted savage compression then this black box was the one to do the business. Other variations with more features such as the 165A came along, and these were popular but less common than the standard 160 with its fixed auto attack and release settings. In the early eighties came the 160X, a 1U, LED-packed box, still black and still fairly brutal, but a little bit smoother sounding than its predecessor. And even smoother in "OverEasy(R)" mode, which is the registered dbx name for soft knee compression. There must be thousands of these superb units in studios and live racks around the world, and a budget version (the 160XT) built in Hong Kong has continued to sell well.
