With the newly improved 160SL, we introduce the patent-pending AutoVelocity technology. With AutoVelocity it is now easier than ever to dial up the exact attack and release effect you are looking for, via the program-dependent, or non program dependent manual mode. Still on board is the venerable dbx Auto mode.
Now you can set your maximum preferred settings in manual mode, and let the 160SL do the rest for you, depending on your program material.
