Cupcake...more squish??
« on: September 20, 2014, 04:16:27 PM »
I just finished building a cupcake (on the old board) and it sounds great but it's a very subtle company.  Is there a way to get more squish?

First make sure it's biased correctly.

Second, realize that it's going to be fairly subtle.

That said:
Increase R8 and/or decrease R9 to increase the gain. (This is one of the best ways.)
Or decrease R4 to lower the threshold a little.
Or increase R11 to increase the decay.

Does anybody have any values they would care to share?
