"My Compressor"

I haven't built it yet, I'm just starting to, but the simulations look very interesting.

This PDF converter program I tried likes to take off lines from diodes and draw the arcs on electrolytic capacitors the wrong way.

I needed fixed resistors for the simulation, these will be pots:
R12 - input gain
R49 - ratio
R53 - threshold
R48 - attack
R59 - release
R52 - ratio trim
R45 - bias

I also need to separately bias the two FET's because they'll need to be matched for proper gain reduction. Any comments before I start doing board layout? I don't have an output stage or stereo link in here yet but I'll add them before doing layout. I also haven't prettied up the schematic yet - sorry about the overlapping values.

Beware of those f**kin' lying simulators! :?

(Can you tell, I've been burned more than once? :wink: )

Yea, I don't trust many sim measurements but I do like playing with circuit configurations on the sim before building them - mostly as a check to see if I'm in the right ballpark.
