Love and Compression

[pickdropper]

This is a layout of the Roth Love Squeeze.  It was a bit of a collaboration between me and Rej.  Still playing with it, but it seems to be pretty cool so far.

Nice layouts!

Very nice layout and design !!!

What is the bloom control for ?

If you have an extra board to sell, I'm in !!!

Great work as always, Dave! I love the "crop circles" design (you've used it a few times).

Snazzy black 1N60s, too, though a bit of an expensive part to use.

What is the bloom control for ?

In Rej's built it was the threshold gain (pin 6 resistor). Not sure it's the same thing here.

So pretty.  Going to have to do one of these "circles" designs myself someday.

The diodes are actually just 1n5817 Shottkys.

The bloom in this case is on the output of the opamp (pin 7) in series with R9.  It adds body and a bit of brilliance back to the sound.  I actually plan on measuring it to see what precisely is happening.  I've been meaning to get setup for spectral analysis; maybe this will push me to actually do it.

I love art deco styles, and your crop circles seem to me to fit into that realm. This is just gorgeous!

Dude you cannot get better in any aspect of this build!
Graphics, wiring, layout.
Nice!!

When you can we haz?

Wow! Another amazing graphic and layout! Do you laser etch first then drill?

[nzCdog]

Supremo build! Lurvely

That is my preference.  I etch the drill points and go from there.  If you drill first, it is more difficult to adjust for any misalignment (although that is happening less frequently these days).

IF that were any cleaner of a build...you'd have to list sanitizer in the build docs!

Yeah, but how many Peeps can you fit inside?

It depends how much compression is applied.  :-)
