Not long ago I acquired a rack full of gear from a friend of a co-worker who was moving. I paid $250 for all of it and there's a couple of useful things in the bundle, but a couple seem to be a waste of space/money.
#1 is a dbx 266XL compressor. I finally got it wired up to work with my interface and Studio One and it seems like it's not a very good compressor. I've also heard/read from a few others groups that it's not a great piece of gear in general. I'm thinking of trying to sell it. Thoughts?
#2 is an Alesis Quadraverb effects unit. I thought i might be able to run it through the FX Loop on my amp and use it in my guitar rig, but everytime I try to use it I get terrible feedback and the reverb/delay/etc. goes "out of control" and I have to turn it off. It's not the "GT" model made for guitar so I'm wondering if it just won't work. I'm also wondering what I would use it for if not adding it to my guitar rig?
Thanks in advance. I appreciate an help/advice you can give me on these either/both of these pieces.
