Okay. What would be involved to build, in the same box, a compressor that you can switch between an opto La2a-style circuit and a FET 1176-style circuit?
For example...
A double pole potentiometer - each pole controls compression amount (la2a fashion, rather than increasing gain in fixed 1176 compression).
Makeup gain is controlled on the next potentiometer (again, like the la2a) - either one pole or two, depending on impedance. Makeup gain will be tube-based.
The FET could be fixed ratio at 4:1.
OR...is there a simple way to use the La2a design and somehow switch between the T4B circuitry and some sort of FET circuitry?
Has anyone gone down this rabbit hole?
Thanks in advance.
