best compressor on the market for the money, if you cant swing one of these get a 3630. side chain gating is good, but save this one for compression

no phantom power >>???????

You said "VCA" ABOUT 500 TIMES!! AND NEVER EXPLAINED IT!!!

This is really helpful. I thought my dbx 160a was malfunctioning because the GR wasn't kicking in right away but it seems to work correctly after it warms up for a few minutes.

I wonder is there a similar version implemented using DSP processor+RAM and controlling software in ROM?

IN the words of Lyle "I don't understand a word you just said!" I aint no scientist!!!!!!!

even though the quality of the video itself isn't great, the information that you shared was. Thank you so much for this video. I used this video to help me out with my 266xs

I just got the 1046 Quad compressor and im loving it so far. Put some stereo drums and piano thru it just making 2-3db of compression...oh boy! That thing bring both to life. Being a bedroom producer and using compressors plugins most of the time I can really tell you theres nothing like analog compression. It sounds so smooth if you want...or so aggressive if thats what you looking for...but the way it does it its amazing . Im loving this little box and looking forward to get the 166xl comp/limiter. Just to have more control over attack and release. Great video and great explanation of the this units. Thanks for this . 👍🏽

Can each channel run in stereo ?

very interesting... anyways, you should have used some real music ... those "tones" are boring and don't really help to grab the ideas... a compressor makes everything clearer, warmer, and apparently louder, with no real gain in volume... thanks for the clear concepts...

Just got a dbx 266xs and this video was immensely informative. Thank you!

You understand compression and the dbx 266xl very well, I wonder why alot of people don't like this unit?

very good Joe. Keep up the good work. More from you please!!!

Thanks for the great summary, very useful and a lot to follow up on.

Wow you've explained this so well. Thank you

Wow thanks! Very informative information!, I'm no audiophile! But I think I understood what you were explaining! How dbx 266xl works! Just bought one at the Goodwill. I call it the thunder dome! Now they no longer sort items out, just throw them into bins on wheels and let you go at it! But picked a total of 38 lbs of items you pay by the pound and the dbx comp/gate was one of the items! Needs a couple of replacement knobs but otherwise seems to in working order? Now I have some basic knowledge? I need to figure out how hook it up into my system! Thanks I'm going to a subscriber Thanks Byrne

This was very good, thank you Joe : )

Nicely done cheers, looking to pick one up to feed a couple of drum machines through.

I have one of those, hooked up to an Adat XT. Haven't used it in years.

Thank you, this the best video on this product
