I have one of these boards made it and i have never found a compressor i have been more happy with on bass this one is amazing hands down. My only complaint is this. I would like an led to pulse brighter on and low level pulsing in regards to how much it is compressing it doesn't have to spot on acc...

I think they are so expensive that no one is willing to even put a screwdriver to it. they are worth $300 there abouts but if you can score the schematic and have the time and patients like $50 bucks but hard to say if anything digital in there.

does anyone know what those source to drain fets are doing?

what's anyones thoughts on this pedal in regards to tone is it good for a cheap pedal or still junk??? any ideas

does anyone know where to get the 1m anti log pot with a 18mm shaft for a bass so it goes through the body? Cheers

I still reckon the trannies sound cleaner and better than the op amps. I usually go for trannies over op amps found it to be better and cleaner.

Ok here are my thoughts on this pedal. Ampeg made a transistor version of the well known b-15. It was called the bt-15 the t in it as far as i understand is for transistor. Now this pedal claims to be the b-15 sound in a pedal. well if you take the preamp section of the bt-15 i dare say you have the...

Yeah i thought i seen it here somewhere to Iam also looking for it. Anyone comes across give us a hoy or post. Cheers

Hang On where is the actual schematic of this pedal there seems to be variations and what people thing yada yada yada but what is the legit trace does anyone have it???????? or is it secret squirel business. I have gone through every page of this thread in detail!!!!! and nothing says this is the ac...

I've now modded my Moen Unicomp to totally be the same as the diamond compressor including op amps and caps. sounds great and for around $55 dollars australian in total can't go wrong. I did change the compression pot to 250k to give more compression. I found a ratio of 3:1 to low. the 250k pot make...

Does anyone know if the original circuit has low output? I figure from looking through that once the midrange has done it's bit and all the other passive circuitry would attenuate it a bit. But I am trying to work out wheather to build a original or put 2 extra gain stages or 1 on the end for more h...

This one would be a great candidate to get guts shots of it. But i bet it's all smd. Absolute ballbreaker to trace if thats the case. But a schematic of it would definately be nice.

what do you think putting it in the feedback path eliminates the hiss. I've tried both very little difference yes it does decrease the hiss and crap slightly in the feedback path. But basically it sounds like shit. The transistor would sound way better. In my opinion. I've tried both and i know whic...

I think there would be more changes than just the eq on the bass version.

I just want to have his baby's!!! hahahaha

Hi, Thanks for the link atreidesheir much appreciated for your efforts there. But that would have to be the most horrid nasty compressor schematic i have ever seen. That thing wouldn't be worth pissing on if it was on fire! Even then i would have to contemplate if it was going to be a waste of piss....

hey darthoverdrive i went looking for the article with the compressor schematic and layout in it you said about and found nothing. Can you tell me which file it is. Cheers

anyone who likes decent compressor's you see a ca3080 and

hmmm seems to be very few if no secrets revealed in this thread. What i want to know is what exactly makes this thing trigger the 2nd and third harmonic distortion to make it sound almost organ like. The topology is everywhere. How it exactly works not like how does a amplifier work thats everywhere...

yeah by the parts count and a close look standard dyna/ross compressor junk! when will they put decent compressor's in pedals for reasonable price standard dyna ross shit every time! thanks for the pics and your effort though!
