Description
The first thing you'll notice about the 162SL is its striking front panel, machined from 1/4" aircraft aluminum, with handcrafted solid aluminum knobs, LEDs mounted individually in machined stainless steel housings, custom VU meters with peak indicators, and a heavy-gauge chassis. On the inside, the 162SL combines the best features of all the great dbx compressors, past and present, and gives you more versatile performance than ever before. In addition to having the auto attack/release and hard-knee threshold characteristics of the classic dbx 160, the 162SL offers AutoVelocity manual mode and classic dbx OverEasy mode. Variable attack and release controls, as well as dbx's latest limiting algorithm PeakStopPlus, are included in the 162SL.
The dbx 162SL also features dual proprietary dbx VCA modules. This state-of-the-art implementation of dbx's original Blackmer decilinear VCA boasts an unheard-of dynamic range and ultralow distortion seen only previously in the Blue 160SLs.
It's built of the best parts available including Jensen transformers on each output standard and also takes full advantage of dbx's advanced manufacturing.
