Does anyone have a source tha may have a couple of these left or has anyone been able to successfully roll their own suitable alternative? I would be happy to try making my own if anyone has suggestions on which LED/LDR combo could reproduce similar performance.masonsjaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369527568950239759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-67330827589271928912016-02-27T16:53:36.790+00:002016-02-27T16:53:36.790+00:00Hey all.

Some effects are fine tuned to a single coil output, and when that is the case it can cause issues with humbuckers or high output singles which may be the case here. <br /><br />I'd suggest looking through some of the threads on FSB about it.

When I turn the knob clockwise I get more volume (which is how most other comrpessors I've used work), but it sounds like i'm getting less compression (this is pretty subtle sometimes, so its hard to tell)- Shouldnt I be getting less volume when I turn the compress control clockwise?

I cut the new trace and moved the 4k7 on the left side to it's proper location. Seems like it's working now, but the the GR LED stays on now if I pass about 7:00 with it. I get the impression it's supposed to blink when the compressor is working, but no joy. I am admittedly using a rather bright white LED.

With the Comp knob FULL CCW and the volume full CW it's under unity gain but definitely and intense squish.<br /><br />As you turn the comp knob to the right the squish becomes more subtle and the volume increases. I'm 100% confident that the pot is wired as per the layout so it definitely sounds backwards.<br /><br />Does anyone have any ideas on why the extreme volume loss?
