Members Koopdaddy Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi folks, Just curious what you all recommend for decent quality comps, gates and fx units to add to my analog rig. Not looking for top of the line or to break the bank. I am shopping used on ebay, craigslist, etc just looking for model numbers to look for. I currently have:Mackie Onyx 24.4TC Electronics M-One XLTC Electronics M350Art Pro Audio EQ355Behringer DCX2496 System ProcessorSamson S4 quad channel comp/gateBehringer Composer Pro MDX2200 dual channel comp/gate/limiter I'd like to either add a few more comp/gate channels and maybe another FX unit. What would you suggest? ThanksJared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pro Sound Guy Posted July 26, 2014 Members Share Posted July 26, 2014 DBX has a good rep on compression. Budget is your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted July 26, 2014 CMS Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 The dbx 166XL is a good comp at a decent price. For less bux the 266 works too. Lexicon MX200 is a decent effects unit. Avoid the older Lexicon models that didn't have any indication of which effects were selected other than trying to peer at the tiny knob settings in the dark. Older Yamaha effects units like the SPX900 are excellent and often underpriced, if you can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Unalaska Posted July 28, 2014 Members Share Posted July 28, 2014 The dbx266 and 166 are great entry level comp/gates, I've got a bunch. The RNC is cool but is stereo with shared control knobs, basically setup for a stereo source. I really dig the m300 and m350 for ease of use and sounds, can't beat it. Yamaha spx90, 990 are great too. Lots of great deals out there. I'm selling a whole FOH rack with cabling and everything locally. Not a lot of bites...
