Super-flexible Processor!

Many of your audio geeks at GearNuts think the 1066 is one of the coolest units ever to come out of dbx - and considering the status dbx holds in audio processing, that's really saying something. A two-channel compressor/limiter/gate powered by the dbx V2 VCA. Each channel features program-dependant attack and release or user-definable attack and release, giving you the ultimate in processing flexibility. You can fatten your drums, smooth out your microphone and instrument levels, gate sounds with long decay, prevent analog tape saturation and much more! It features classic dbx OverEasy & reg; and hard-knee compression. A rack-mount unit, the 1066 weighs less than six pounds and takes up one rack space. It allows for stereo or independant two-channel operation.

If you dig what you see in the 1066, you should also check out the 1046 Compressor.
