SWAMP 166XL Two Channel Compressor Limiter Gate 
Following a classic design, this great sounding processor will perform solidly and accurately. Whether adding sustain to guitars, fattening up the drums or tightening up the mix, the SWAMP 166XL is a great tool to polish professional audio signals. It allows stereo or dual mono noise gating, limiting, and compression, making it a highly versatile unit and a great bang for buck no-nonsense compressor/limiter.

Simple Operation
For the compressor section, the centre settings will deliver classic compression and full control is given for leveling through to aggressive peak limiting. Gain reduction (dB) is supported by precise LED displays. The advanced AutoDynamic circuitry promotes ultra smooth gating. 

Features:

  • Great sounding dynamics control for any type of program material 
  • New gate timing algorithms ensure the smoothest release characteristics
  • Separate precision LED displays for gain reduction, compression threshold and gate threshold allow quick, accurate setup
  • Stereo or dual-mode operation
  • Balanced inputs and outputs on 1/4" TRS and XLR
  • Side Chain insert 
  • Classic "Auto" mode

Great piece of kit

Great unit. Does everything you need it to. The only downside is no on/off switch so you do need to unplug it, which is annoying.
