The NAMM Summer session wasn't the first time we've seen the dbx 162SL, having previewed it at Winter NAMM in January, it's now well and truly in the channels as they say (you can buy it),
Based on the prestigious lineage of the now legendary Blue Series 160SL Compressor / Limiter, the 162SL is designed for the most demanding user in the most extreme conditions. Built to be as transparent as possible, the 162SL’s sonic purity is rivaled by only its big brother, the Blue 160SL. Designed specifically to handle the abuse of the road, while still delivering clarity henceforth reserved for the studio, the 162SL is currently available.
