Well worth the money
Before purchasing this item, I did my research. Every review was positive, but I did find one video on YouTube where the owner didn't have such a great experience. This unit, like all DBX compressors, has brilliant performance. It is very easy to setup and use, and has all the connection options that you would ever need - 1/4" balanced/unbalanced, XLR balanced, PLUS 1/4" TRS inserts - something which is missing on most other brands. The displays are also very responsive, with no delay at all. Although I don't agree with what the gentleman says in his video about avoiding the product, I do believe that if you are considering buying one of these units, that like anything else, it is possible that you may have issues with it. The plus side in this instance, is that someone has taken the time to explain what the issue is and how easy it is to fix - if you don't mind opening the unit up and doing a little soldering. (It's simply a matter of removing a header and soldering a ribbon cable directly to the display board.) It should also be noted that what the gentleman calls cheap manufacturing in his video, is in fact standard practice which is used in nearly all electronics these days. So I advise that that you disregard his constant negative comments, and focus only on what the problem is, and what is required to fix it. You can then make up your own mind. Anyway, this unit is the industry standard, and like all DBX products that I have owned over the years, I haven't had any problem with it. But if you do want to check out the video before buying, simply search for "DBX 266xs broken" on YouTube, and it will probably be the first result. If you are unlucky enough to experience those same symptoms, then at least you will know what the likely cause is, and more importantly, what's involved in fixing it.Read full review

266xs Perfect!
The DBX 266xs is the industry standard in live and studio compression. I used this unit at a live gig just last night and it performed flawlessly. Gating the unwanted background noise whilst cleanly compressing the spikes in performance and avoiding the nasty tube or tunnel effect that plagues cheaper units. With time pressing you can make use of the auto and over easy buttons or just set all controls to the 12 o'clock position for that classic dbx compression. With a little more time to spare you can tweak the controls to get the maximum performance from the unit and taylor it perfectly for the gig at hand. I will not go to a live gig without both my dbx 266xs units, and I won't record in the studio without them either so they stay with me pretty much most of the time. For the professional musician the dbx 266xs is an essential piece of kit just as your best guitar or your most precious microphone. Don't leave home without it!Read full review
