More modular madness: after building my modular tube pre amp I've finished an optical tube compressor. Essentially it's the famous AnalagOpticalCompressor published here ten years ago. I've built a couple of them in 19“ format and still find think that it is a wonderful unobtrusive compressor.
Unfortunately the Vactrols are not available anymore; I've hoarded a couple over the years. All Kubi mods are incorporated. The main difference to the original AOC is the 12.6V heaters. I'm using SMPS for heaters; 12.6V is easier to build since 6V SMPS are quite rare.
I/O TX are Sowters. The module is 10HP so I can put 8 channels in a standard Euro Rack.
The meter light goes off when in bypass. Front panel is printed (www.frontpanels.de).
