How do you want to run the comp usually they're for the inserts of each channel of the mixer i.e. vocals, kick, toms, you wouldn't want to compress your FOH depending on your amp model most have a limiter built in. Like Peavey has a DDT and also if your using a GEQ most have a low cut filter at 40hz because it stresses the crap out of amp and drivers(woofers) below 40hz. And yes DBX is pretty good comp/gate but theirs better depending on how your gonna use it and BTW DBX don't make the 160's anymore and most sound folks with larger systems use a quad comp/gate.
