Hello, everyone,
Without going in to all the details of a particular project, I am in need of building or acquiring a 1U compressor. After looking around at different kit options, I thought about acquiring a dbx 160A and doing the tweaks on it that I have read about from other internet users and it seems it would be a decent option. The 160A itself can be had for pretty cheap in the used market and the additional materials would cost less than $100USD to the mods. I was wondering if anyone here has performed any of these procedures on the 160A and if they would be willing to share any notes. One area I am not sure about is any changes to component values in the PSU that would provide some improvements.
There are a number of other DIY options that I have looked at, but considering the time I would have to spend working on this project, modding a 160A seems like a quick and cost effective route.
Thanks!
Paul
