Hi folks,
I'm slowly putting together my stereo Weak Joe compressor build by Mnats (find here: http://mnats.net/what_compressor.html) but supplying the power for it has me stumped. :-\
It asks for an AC supply of 10-25V alternating current, so my initial thought was to get a toroidal 230VAC Primary - 2x12VAC secondary (so each board would receive it's own 12v supply).
Would I need anything after the transformer (some kind of buffer), or can I simply solder the secondaries straight into the PCB?
The other thing that is confusing me is that the schematic has a +15V and a -15V (there's an error on the schematic that shows V2 as positive, but it should be negative). Isn't that irrelevant with an AC supply? I'm familiar with the idea of phase, but it should work whichever way it's connected.. right?
I've attached the schematic below.
