Have you ever recorded bass threw the X ? Looking for a comp that won’t break the bank that maintains good low end for my bass. I use a art vla 2 and it kinda kills the subs to the bass
not really unfortunately. I only really used it to smash drums. It was very transparent at moderate settings and never seemed to take much low-end out unless I really cranked it. You may want to look for comps with a wet/dry option. You could also try some sidechaining or multiband style techniques to prevent any compression to the lowend
They are connected in series in this video. There is a line input as well as an instrument input iirc so you can plug your bass right into it without any issues.
Actually you should try it. I keep two different mics, preamps, and compressors on my drum room mics when tracking and makes them sound huge. Really wide. You can level match after in your daw.

Both sound nice to me. Really clean.
That X is a monster.

You could check out the Joe Meek VC3 v2 - I picked one up recently and I like the onboard Opto Compressor on bass guitar.
nice! how do you connect the outputs behind the 163x?
I would like to connect it to my digital bass head.

@@OPdbx thanks a lot, man. I didn’t know.
Can you slave an 163a and 163x together?
yes you can stereo slave them together. I don't do that as they sound slightly different and could make a stereo mix kinda wonky
