O.k. I been spitballing ideas and I want to see what would stick to the wall if you will.
As we know we have one to many 1176 clones on the market. Yet few if any offer anything new to the design. I guess if it's not broken why fix it but I want to enhance things.
I thought of the following things and wanted to see what people thought.
1. replace the ratio switch with a pot
.
2. Add filters or even a 2 band eq to the side chain(insert switch to turn on and off would be applied)
3. Feedback or feedforward switch. With the 1176 being a feedback design. why not run it as a feedforward design.
4. Teplace input and output pots with custom knob that creates a threshold control. The idea, the 1776 is fixed threshold which is why input and output volume controls. But if we have the input increase while the output decreases and vice versa you can create a control we could call threshold.
Anyway what say you?
