Very Convenient Patch Bay with Some Faults
Jul 3rd 2023The DBX PB48 is a pretty standard but decent patch bay for your 1/4” patching purposes. I’ve had two. The first one had several connections die on me after just a year of use. I got another one and that one lasted much longer, never dying on me. There is no coloration to the sound and it performs as it should barring any dead connections. I like how shallow it is in a rack space and that it is relatively inexpensive.
