Description

This is a used DBX 386 dual channel microphone preamp. It comes with the user manual pictured but does not have original packaging. This takes one replaceable 12AU7 / ECC82 vacuum tube in each channel and currently has two old Mullard ECC82 valves fitted, which will be included with it. Cosmetically it's in okay condition (see pics). There is a fair bit of wear on the rack ears and scratches on the bottom paint. Some of the labels are also partially worn. I've powered up the unit and tested both channels and everything appears to be fully functioning - however, this has not been in general use for over a decade and it did give me a few crackles when I was pushing buttons. If you're bidding, bear in mind that it's probably going to need to be serviced sooner or later. This is for 115V input voltage, i.e. for USA voltage. It doesn't have a voltage selector switch so if using it in Europe or elsewhere you need a 230V-115V step down transformer rated for 35 watts or higher.
