I like this compressor, it adds a lot of smack to drums, very smoothly levels bass and vocals. The HF response leaves something to be desired. I know some people mod these to improve fidelity, so I might look into that. Certainly worth the $50 I paid! #dbx #163x #compressor #repair #electronics

Bonus pics of the PCB because it's pretty:

It works!

I replaced it with a new (much physically smaller) capacitor.

Side note, anyone know why the caps in this thing are so big? I had to go up to a 250V just to fit the lead spacing, and it was still HALF the size of the original.

"C12" is the coupling capacitor between the input buffer and the sidechain circuit, so if it's gone, the sidechain hears nothing, and no compression occurs. Easiest diagnosis of my life.

I opened it up to see what was rattling around, and this capacitor flopped out. Well there's your problem!

Something was loose/rattling inside...

I recently acquired one of these old #DBX compressors for cheap. It was sold as "non-functioning": passed audio, but did not compress. Weird. #electronicsrepair #rackgear #proaudio

Be aware!

I have been simping on Instagram since Friday, but, for redundancy, I'll do it here too: this new Snooze single is fucking amazing

Word! I wonder whom we'd have to bug to make that happen...

As @peretsky.bsky.social has observed before, audio is as important as video on social media... How are y'all sharing audio on BlueSky? All I want to do is post cool songs I find for my followers

Something happened to Nate Silver, I don't know what, but I don't like it

@JohnThePapist Guys please pray for me, I feel so depressed that I'm already drinking a vodka coke at 8AM. I don't know, since I've become Catholic it just feels like I'm in an abusive relationship with Pope Francis and I'm not sure how much longer I can take it. Image of an article titles "pope Francis said he will consider openness to transgender people when naming new us bishops" @StJoeFanClub When did you become Catholic? @JohnThePapist Couple of days ago. I'm not anymore

Twitter still has a bit of juice left in it

6.1 is the pitchfork sweet spot for albums you will develop a passionate relationship with. 8+ is stuff you listen to twice and then talk about. but a 6.1 will save your fucking life when things are falling apart
