Hi everyone,
I've finished building a CSG4000 from DIYSTUDIOTOYS. It's a kind of all options SSL4000 bus compressor clone. I've chosen quad THAT 2181 VCA option. I've started calibration and once it has been done I've tested the unit and get an issue... I get distortion / saturation on signal as soon as I start to compress. Signal clear when threshold pot at +15 so fully CW. Compression works and signal reduced but sound is saturated.
You can see it on my scope... Any suggestions where I should start troubleshooting ?
