[quote author="chrissugar"]Hey Rowan, nice to post again the schem.
I have a question. It is clear that one of the 500K pots is the THRESHOLD for the sidechain, and the other 500K is the MAKEUP GAIN, but I don't understand what is the 100K pot for. This pot will affect the level of the audio in the gain circuit, and also the level of the signal going into the sidechain. What is it's function?

That pot is just like the 100K pot in the LA2A. I just added a makeup/makedown control in the middle of the circuit for added flexibility in that you can control the output...no need for padding and allows it to function as a line level device instead of a mic pre like the LA2A.
Remember it started out as a LA2A alike and eventually evolved into what you see here.

hey analag (here comes another request..!) - if you get a chance to email me your circuit i'd love to try it out... (email should come up in my sig).
i haven't seen the schem yet obviously.. but have you or anyone else experimented with two optos in "anti-parallel" - a la m o o n l e y....? i've been wanting to give that a go when i get the time. i imagine the overlap of the two LDR light lags coupled with the full wave rectification would result in a fairly smooth compression.... but that's pure conjecture - gotta suck it and see!
either way.. can't wait to try yours, as nature intended, and modded...
thanks, we do love our compressors!

... of course the original is at zero. Have a listen. Hopefully it helps, and great. If not, we can just let this thread die. Thanks to my friend Danny for cutting the drum track. Thanks to you guys for helping us all do this. :guinness:

I've just recently visited this thread again - could that drum-file be reposted ? It's expired now.
Thanks !

And another thanks for reposting. Hmm, yet another compressor, I shouldn't do it - but it's too tempting I'm afraid, apart from the Vactrols I will have most parts already around (like the EU-types ECC81, ECC82).

Ahhh, words are only words...
Maybe that WOW_f*ckinggreat_unprocessed.wav
& WOW_f*ckinggreat_processed.wav can convince me :wink: :thumb:
But just kidding. As I said this project is tempting. Not much need for vocal-processing here, but I understood it's a nice thing across the stereo buss, right ? And covers a different area than the (G-)SSL.

Ah, and stereo strapping comes to mind... before re-inventing the wheel for this circuit, where/how did you let the two units meet each other ?

Hey Peter,
It seems as the "yousendit" site started working for me right after I PM'd you. Here it is (I changed the mp3 from 128 to VBR):
