Both 1n5817 and 1n4148 were distortion-free, and offer lots of compression. The 1n4148 sounded best to me, and worked with a variety of jfets. To be certain I wasn't crazy, I built a 2nd one, and same result. 1n4148 and 2n5457 (or NTE457s) sounded like the smoothest compression. 1n5817 had a different attack and more of a pop before the compression kicks in.Garvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424256812483505526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-59686051145186906902021-11-10T00:45:08.427+00:002021-11-10T00:45:08.427+00:00Does someone have the working voltages for the 455...Does someone have the working voltages for the 4558 IC and the two 2N5457 ?

One of he ones with the RC4558P failed within a year or so. Replaced it with the JRC4558D. Just yesterday, the one I had on my board for a few years also failed. This one had the 4558P opamp. Replaced with the JRC4558D and it is working fine and sounding great. Has anyone else used the RC4558P opamp with success?DPM309https://www.blogger.com/profile/12938134141299881540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-23204864130538069622019-03-09T17:00:07.632+00:002019-03-09T17:00:07.632+00:00Put this on an oscilloscope with a signal gen (and...Put this on an oscilloscope with a signal gen (and the 5k pot + 5k1 resistor sustain mod)<br /><br />https://youtu.be/R-hI8hAjggoThe Joy of Electronicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554969286925617281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-22304609780853530282019-03-09T15:30:46.395+00:002019-03-09T15:30:46.395+00:00I did this mod as well and put the 5K1 resistor on...I did this mod as well and put the 5K1 resistor on the board on a spare bus.
