Hello,
I'm new on this forum, it seems to be a nice place ! And I need some advice, perhaps you can help me.
I have two Roberts preamp units in my workshop (from an old Akai reel to reel).
I wanted to use them to build 2 different Ampex preamps inside : an 601 and a 351, adding in/out transformers. And there is still enough room and tube sockets, so why not adding a tube compression circuit inside...
But the power transformer won't handle too much tubes. I can't build a LA2A or Vari Mu, I just have something like 500 mA left on the 6.3V windings.
So I'm looking for a very simple tube compression circuit, perhaps with 2 12AX7 (600 mA, ok...), an opto... Do any of you know such circuits ? I can't find anything except compression pedals for instruments.
Thank you !
