A Livesound guy here in Sydney was selling a pair of these which he converted to a compresser. Anyone heard about modding one of these? I got the impression it was something that is quite commonly done, or easily done. The gate is less useful these days with digital plug ins and editting etc but I'd certainly start using my one again if it were a compressor, esp a dbx comp.
 
Sorry, I never heard of a mod like that.

But it should be possible - though not necessarily simple. After all, you have in&outputs, VCA, and RMS-detector in there already, so most of the needed building blocks are available.

The mod would include a change from frequency-selective to broad-band compression. Maybe even some simple filter cap changes could do the trick?

Try posting a schematic here (maybe use our local upload service http://groupdiy.twin-x.com/index.php ), and we'll take it from there..
