Tascam 388 and dbx 163

I'm wondering the best way to use a dbx 163 with my Tascam 388? The dbx 163 has only 2 rca jacks. 1 right and one left. Do I plug them in to the effect return and the effect send? When I do this, what will I be able to do with it? Will I be able to adjust compression on all 8 tracks using the the effects loop volume control? THANKS for any help

dbx 163 hook up to a Tascam 388 effects loop

I was wondering if anyone knew how to hook up a dbx 163, (the one with the wood panels and the single slider), to the effects loop on a Tascam 388. I never hooked up a unit with a single RCA jack for input and output. I need to compress a couple of tracks on the 8 track, but don't really want to compress the whole mix if I don't have to. I am mixing down to a 22-2. Any help would be great.
