Guyatone - PS-003 - Compressor  [schematic]

Hi,

Bought a dead one for cheap to have some parts to refresh some working ones. The pedal is some Dynacomp clone, and I've got one working nicely over here, so I left it apart.

Finally decided to have a closer look at it and traced it ( thanks to snmavronis for his schem :wink: ).

It's quickly drafted, but it's enough for debugging purpose. I've numbered the extra components in the signal path, and left the flip-flop part un-numbered...

Plenty of guts can be found on the internet. Here's a link to a pdf file with components values and pot layout..

The unit uses a National Semi LM3080N.

Now off to the debugging section to have the pedal working again!

Well who would have thought it? Yet another Dynacomp with a tone control!

The guys at Guyatone must have thought that it was "brilliant"! :wink:

Joking apart, the bias network is set at half Vcc, while the dynacomp sets it at around 3V... What could it change soundwise, and/or is it good practice with this OTA?
