About the dbx 160A
The dbx 160A is the spiritual successor to the legendary 160 series — a single-channel VCA compressor that has been on more touring lead-vocal channels than any other piece of outboard gear. Hard-knee characteristics, OverEasy switchable, peak limiter built in. Most engineers slot it on lead vox and drum bus where its quick attack and consistent gain reduction earn it years of road work.
Single-channel VCA compressor/limiter. Touring-rack staple on lead vox + drum bus.
