Thx for your more helpful answer.

Nobody?

Hi, would it be possible to use VTL5C6 instead of VTL5C3 in 4:1 compressor? I have no VTL5C3 at hand.

Okay, yeah. I have a basic one drawn up that would be able to 9, 12, 15 or 18 on any output depending on how you populate it. But, it doesn't use a transformer. Rather my idea was to use a 24v/1000mA supply and just break down the voltages with regulators. Neg. voltage could be done with a charge pump.

I've never put it together, though. I'll pull it out and have another look at it.

Is it possible to convert a PC PSU to serve as pedal board supply?

Sorry I took so long to reply. I haven't been building for the past several months. But a friend is working on one of these and I made a video demo for him. Check it out. My amp is a little gainy, but no, I haven't noticed any distortion from pick attack. I think eniacmike has a good idea about the trim pot.

Here's the video demo.

Nice one, sounds so Purple Rain-y. Very useful video. Thx

Merry Christmas!

Very interested! Thumbs up.

The 7660's right there for €1,01 http://www.banzaimusic.com/ICL7660-SCPA.html

Oops, thx

Very nice build. Sehr schön und ordentlich. So muß es sein.    I've not seen ICL7660SCPA at Banzai. Where did you get it?

If not already requested by someone  I would like to make a request. The Barber Tone Press.

I am a compressor-holic I have 4 and the tone press is the best I have found. barber makes really good stuff too. inspirational build quality. The blend knob is a great feature for a compressor because you can keep your attack but retain the supernatural sustain.

The tone press has been showing up in a few of these boards...

Still some of the best non DIY money spent. It's been with me for about two years+ and it's always been in the first slot since. The parallel mix knob is the key. As a Tele player a comp is a given and I went through a few 'till this one stuck. Does what it does without sound being to rubbery(word even?).
Peace. J.J.B.
Edit: Mike I didn't see your post. What he said.

blend knob mixes compressed and uncompressed signal? parallel compression in a guitar pedal? nice. I need to visit Requests thread :-°  bye

This baby sounds awesome. Thx for posting the demo. One of my next builds. Btw. fancy socks 

Sounds great. Thx

I'm glad that you all like it and found it useful. Thx
