No distortion when single coils. I used bc338B transistors, as I'm out of bc550 & bc547 & other close equivalents, and I used a yellow LED + 1M dark LDR with a trim pot I stead of the 215 ohm resistor on the LED. I will try out some different transistors & different LED colors & vactrols I have, and report back.

I suggest to put a1m instead of a500k for comp pot and replace w20k dual gang with a20k or a25k single gang pot -> tone b1 to lug 1, tone b2 and a2 to lug 2 and tone a1 to lug 3.<br /><br />215R must also be adjusted depending on the led/optocoupler model. Use 1k or 2k multiturn trimpot and your ears for optimal compression.<br /><br />Cheers.<br />plushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263087121719556185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481402030233340127.post-90987966701068090342017-03-24T09:16:53.578-04:002017-03-24T09:16:53.578-04:00I would think so.

I heard it has 3 or 4 versions each one representing a different amount of compression. I have no idea which version is that schematic but it has year 2013 on it so I guess it must be V1. I watched a few demo videos and V2 seems to be the most interesting one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625907157619945722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481402030233340127.post-40642783415155884572017-03-16T10:13:10.105-04:002017-03-16T10:13:10.105-04:00Whatever version this schematic is based on:

I found some errors, the diodes 1 and 2 are reversed, the resistance of 47K leaving the base of Q1 to ground is 22k in the schematic that I found online. The capacitor 47U not found in any schematic. Check and everything seems fine, but I still do not work, then I will review in detail. I hope you understand, using a translator, sorry !.
