I'm looking for a decent fairly inexpensive ( $200) rackmount
compressor for a live sound application I have in mind. I've noticed
that the DBX 266xs is going pretty cheap these days - does anyone have
any experience with it? For my application, I'm actually _not_ looking
for a smooth and transparent compressor; I'd like one that is more
obvious and "effect-y" that one can use to crush the hell out of drum
loops and really make "pump".

I also need a rackmount expander/gate. I know that many compressors
include this function as well, but for my application I'd like a high
quality one where the thresholds can be set very precisely. Any
recommendations?
