Hey all.
I was sort of daydreaming the other day, and a weird idea came into my head... (I'll avoid the obvious pun)
Could a light bulb be used in a sort of compressor? ie, the signal is amplified and then passed through the bulb. The louder the average signal, the hotter the bulb, which increases the resistance of the bulb's element, which would reduce the signal.
I realise that you could not control the attack / release / ratio / anything... but... would it work?
I'm a bit of a noob, so don't crucify me.. just thinking aloud.
Kind regards
Mike
