I've done some searching and it appears the only ones available are
the DBX units from a few years (or decades?) ago. This is what I'm
trying to accomplish- I like and do DJ work that involves club style
dance music. Mainstream dance, to psy trance, to house, basically
anything that has a good beat to it. I'm trying to get the "bass
thump" of the recordings to really slam. I thought about using an
expander for this, so it would put the peaks of the music above the
original level. Expanding the "snare" hits wouldnt be bad either.

Anybody else do this or have any ideas? Headroom shouldnt be that
much of a concern as I have a rather large (for my applications
anyway) PA system and it should have plenty of power except for the
highest of levels. In which case I'd compress.

I doubt an expander would give you the desired result. Try either a bass
enhancer or something like a bbe sonic maximiser.
