Look what I found hidden in storage at work.

Going through all the outboard gear we don’t use any more because we are mostly digital at our venue for our stages.
I loved these comps ‘back in the day’, shame that it’s essentially just a large paper weight now.

In all honesty I really don’t miss dragging this stuff around anymore.

same. i enjoyed using great analog stuff...when that's all there was!

 

[AK Bass Guy]

Some more paper weights.

Can one side be converted to fit in a pedal? There's a bunch of upscaling voltage chips available now.

IDK, that’s beyond my skill level. @agedhorse would probably know, they are one of TBs engineer gurus.
Great idea though, would make a killer pedal.

I used to have a DBX 160S. I rue the day I sold it. It was pretty decent for bass...I'm still 99% analog here. If the analog stuff breaks, I can fix most of it...digital stuff, not so much.

I can shred those papers for you lol

IMHO, those are more like boat anchors than paper weights.

I still have some DL214's, DL441's, DS404 some BSS, TC, Ashly, Klark all in a few racks the lids have not been off of in years!
I've sold couple pieces but it all most wasn't worth it. I did cash out a Drawmer 1960 and a Lexicon PCM60 though at the right time!

Aaagggh, you beat me to it!

For those not familiar with the term, a search for "boat anchors" + "radio" will be enlightening.

PS Good numbers to you, Wasnex.

 

[pbass2]

Man, there's folks who will buy those for a studio (not for live so much of course any more). Those Drawmers could be pretty sweet if you need a bunch of comps for drums on a budget.

 

[Manticore]

I just sold 12 spaces of paperweights!

Now it's a plugin that occasionally gets given away for free.

dbx gear was all bulletproof and still there is a small but devoted user base, you should shop those to local studios.

uh, go look on ebay real quick and see what those "paperweights" are going for

Oh no, those are the paperweights, here are a few of the boat anchors.

75 watts per channel @ 8ohms of love.

Nice made in Japan stuff by JBL back in its time but way too underpowered for live theater/music today.

 

[AK Bass Guy]

Don’t miss dragging these around either.
