Hi,
I'm thinking of adding another compressor to my rack. I currently have an ART pro VLA II, a dbx 166XL and a Behringer Tube Composer. The ART is my favourite and gets used first, followed by the DBX, then the Behringer which hardly gets used. I'm considering getting a DBX 160a to compliment them and wanted to know what people thought, in the context of my other compressors. I.e. Is it a worthwhile addition? Is the sound similar to or significantly different from the 166XL and what would the 160a do that my current compressors don't? I should add that I record to a Tascam MS16 with a Studiomaster 20/16/2 desk.
Thanks,
James
