Title: Cupcake compressor - how to regulate it?
Post by: Gledison on May 25, 2014, 08:15:30 PM
Hey guys.
just finish the Cupcake for a friend of mine. Im not much familiar with compressor so i need your help. The only mod that i did from the original is to add a 10k A instead of B pot.
First thing, adjusting the SUS trim , i get no sound on "3" and distortion on "1".
For me is working as a booster :P. To get still a clean sound, i have to turn only 1/8 the trim but the volume is already increased. I still can set it before having the distortion as it is described on the Build info. However, i dont really notice big difference from 1/4 to max compression. Starts to distorce very easy.
Just need to know what is the best way to set the compressor.
thanks  a lot for any help

Turn the trim pot until you get no sound, and then back it up until you get sound again.

There is only about 750R of a 10K pot where it works. That's less than 1/10th of the rotation.
