The 266XL is a full-featured, high-performance dual compressor/gate that uses the dbx AutoDynamic attack and release circuitry to deliver true dbx compression for a wide range of applications, plus an advanced dbx gate circuit for smooth, natural-sounding gating. The 266XL’s advanced gate circuitry uses a completely new, program-dependent timing algorithm to produce ultra-smooth release characteristics even with complex signals, such as voice or reverb decays, with an extra-wide threshold range and top gating performance for any application.

Separate precision LED displays for gain reduction, compression threshold and gate threshold allow quick, accurate setup, while the 266XL’s intuitive operation lets users easily smooth uneven levels, add sustain to guitars, squash drums or tighten up mixes. In Stereo couple mode, the Channel 1 controls become Master controls, and Channel 2 follows precisely to ensure a rock solid stereo image - even with high amounts of compression.
