Hello everyone! I build the Trash Compactor compressor awhile back, it sounds great. I had some time to measure it's characterizations on my Audio Precision APx555 and thought I would share some raw data.
Here is a Frequency response plot:

Overall I really like this comp.
I'm not seeing any of the images :o
Should be there now! Sorry new to sharing images in this BBS :D
I can see them, those are fantastic! Thanks for posting.
Wow! It looks like it actually compresses!
Might have to build me a trash compactor now
Killer stuff. Thanks for taking the time to post your results!
