Greetings!
THis is my first post and I'm not quite up to the knowledge/ability level of most of you here, so please bear with me. I'm just trying to learn. I have a Dbx 576 preamp/compressor that I use alot. Its my only outboard pre/comp. I understand that its not very well liked, but I bought it unused for $200 so it was too a deal to pass up. It does guitars and growly vocals ok IMO but not a lot else. I've put NOS JAN Philips 12AT7s in it but I understand that the tubes in this unit are more or less for show and I didn't hear much improvement. Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to improve this thing? The best way I can describe its sound is boxy/grainy. There doesn't seem to be alot of clarity to it. I've searched the net looking for suggestions but haven't had much luck. I figure if this group couldn't help than no one could! Thanks for your time, I appreciate it.

Abe Piluszewska
