dbx 262 compressor/limiter

[Rusty K]

Is anyone familiar with this device. I've looked up dbx pro.com but the only thing close is the dbx266XL. The 262 must be an older model. Just trying to save a little money if I can.

Thanks,
Rusty K

Hey, I have the 266XL. Basically, the big difference will be that the 266 has more output/input configurations (nice, but not huge) and it also allows the user to choose all of their own settings including attack and release or automatic--the 262 only allows you to set threshold, ratio and output (which really are the most important). No noise gate on the 262, which is the biggest lost in my opinion.

Peace, Jim

Thanks Jim,

I may wind up with the 266XL.
