Hi everybody


here is a proposition to make some "littles" modification of the Pico compressor. This pico comp is a very good and clear sounding gear, with a very nice side chain detector and peak / rms mode. The project would be to go on the opposite philosophy and to make a versatile and complete comp with :

-variable attack and realease
-a potentiometer to make a progressive mix between RMS and peak detection mode
-a potentiometer to make a mix between feedforward and feedback mode
-an external side-chain input
-a variable cutoff 12dB/oct high-pass filter in the side-chain
-use DOA in output stage (if HAMPTONE Jfet DOA are used, add a pot for harmonics amount)
-possibility to use input and output transformers


Those modifications would not be very hard to do, the only hard part would be to adapt the circuitry for DOA and transformers. What do you think about it ? Any good idea to add?
