[@KelvinPit-n6u]

Wow, I miss my rack after listening to you you I want to built a new rack with some of the newer gear because that sound was just huge and it just makes you play different, anyway thanks for the memories and I love all the great video's and content!

Hey Dave, I don't know if you have any insight or opinions on it but if so, I was wondering; with the DBX 160's, (the later, non-VU, X, XT and A), since the 80's I've noticed guitarists always go for the 160A's. From what I've read, there's no actual _circuit_ differece between the X, XT and A and those designations only have to do with when/where they were built. With the only tangible differences being that the XT (I think, I know its one of them) has an option of installing a transformer and of course the original X model has the terminal strip in's and out's. Despite reading that, there are some people - many of them very successful and knowledgeable engineers and producers - who swear they prefer one to another sound wise. So, I can understand how a guitarist would avoid the 160X because of the terminal strips and lack of 1/4" balanced phono jacks - but in your opinion, is there any othet reason why they'd prefer the 160A to say the 160XT? Or why some studio engineers swear by the X and XT?

[@RACKDOCTOR]

I prefer the 160X. It has that classic session tone. The 160A ,which is in the shop rack ,is not as bright. I am going to swap it out for a 160X.

What do you guys recommend or use yourselves when you encounter a ground loop caused by the rack case itself? I bought some humfrees and it solved my issue I'm just not a huge fan of how they look. It's stupid, I know lol. But are there washers of some kind that will do the same thing?

[@RACKDOCTOR]

ISO Transformer. Mainly output of the preamp.

[@robbieandkimberly]

Have you guys ever worked with Doyle Bramhall, just out of curiosity

[@RACKDOCTOR]

Yes we have. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnS7qnWXmceqarcsi=8tveQYnSOGWIAhhU

@@RACKDOCTOR the board sounds and looks awesome, no noise, amazing!

[@fabiol.9161]

What do you think about the axe tx for effects?

[@danielconrad764]

As an owner of both 80s rack gear and the axe fx for equivalent effects, I find myself always reaching for the rack gear. YMMV

[@fabiol.9161]

@danielconrad764 do you use with a mixer?

[@danielconrad764]

@fabiol.9161 yes - Red Seven MLSM

[@andrewraharjo]

David, you even haven’t moved the Rockmod since Shawn and I were there 😆, by the way Happy New Year!

[@RACKDOCTOR]

HYN.
