DBX frequency response

[Dilettante]

First and foremost, I am honoured to finally join the forum. Long time reader, first time poster.

Here I have a 20Hz-20KHz sweep as-is and processed through the well-known DBX 286 in the "bypass" mode on minimal (+10db) gain.

Is this expected? Here are few more samples, courtesy of Audacity:

Test recording: RAW and played through the DBX with effects bypassed (e.g. acting only as the preamp).
Clearly, some frequencies are affected while others are just fine.

Please refer to the attachment. Any clues?
