Hello I was wanting to see if somebody could tell me how this compressor works in the 2101 . It doesn’t work only in bypass. If I turn it on it turns off all the sound. I was doing the compressor setup from tube tester sight you should be able to turn p2 trimmer until you get 0vdc or +or- 30mV on pin 1 of u9a. All I get is around 9vdc. So I changed p2 trimmer and u9a with new ones hoping that would fix it that didn’t do anything. If someone could look at the schematic tell what causing we’re I can’t adjust p2 trimmer or something else on the schematic I should be looking at. We’re I can fix it and get it working. Thanks

Check the voltages on the +12V & -12V rails (the other side of R121 & R122).

I've never had a DBX chip fail. It really isn't likely to be that!

What were the +12V & -12V rail voltages?
