I used a 160 in my Bass rig back in the 80's
and i loved it.
I use a 160a in my Bass rig today and love it even
more. The only thing i Love more than the 160 is
my dog! (oops and the wife too!)

  Solid, easy to use compressor 
by , March 2007

I have had experience with various incarnations of the 160 for years. The 160a is an easy to use, good-sounding incarnation of the legendary dbx lineage. I use mine as a tracking compressor, and have used it successfully on guitar, bass, vocals... just about anything. For the price, I don't think there is much out there that can compete... a very solid performer. Sure you can find sexier comps... but you will end up paying quite a bit more for them.

  I love it!!!!

I needed a solid compressor and had a limited budget
and was recommended a dbx 160a. When i pulled it out of the box i wasn't sure what to think but once i plugged it it i was floored. There isn't anything this thing can't handle, doesn't add anything and is easy to use. i love it
