I saw a thread at g e a r s l u t z where it's listed in the really great affordable gear post... it was used on O/H I beleive...

Quote:

ROCKSONICS MB-3X
The MB-3X Multi-Band stereo tube
compressor with peak limiter (Rocksonics.
Los Alamitos. CA) provides
variable-ratio compression and independent
peak limiting on three separate
frequency bands. Designed for
broadcast, cassette duplication, CD
mastering and other high-quality
stage and studio applications, the
single-rackspace unit features
switchable -1OdBV/+4dBm balanced
operation, tri-level gain reduction
meter, and variable gain, ratio,
threshold, EQ, release and peak limit
settings. Scheduled for delivery in
January ‘96, price to be announced.

I think it was $758 Retail new....

It's got tubes....

It wasn't that cheap...

It goes in a rack...

Why not...?

I'd do it if I knew I'd survive the purchase getting past the wife unit...

Does your wife own a gun? I hope not for your sake. My wife doesn't...but she knows were I keep mine.

That was your excuse last time and it wasn't even that good then. Can't you at least come up with something better?

Tubes in something with a wall-wart?

I guess anything's possible.

There once was a note, pure and easy...

That popped out at me too. But it's not a wall wart. It's a pregnant powercord.

Kinda Rane-ish.

I have one of those Aphex eq's with a tubes.... uh it adds hiss to a prefectly clean chain. I don't know the topology of the Rocksonics thing, but the price suggests it might be cleaner and more useful that most "tube" gear. My DBX166 sound tubier than my Pro vla, so what does that say Smile
