RECKLESS: Poor Man’s Compressor

Ok, so perhaps this wasn’t the sanest idea that I’ve ever had, but I do like Jonny Reckless Compressors and discrete circuits, so I had to give this a try.  

I do realise that I will probably be the only person foolish enough to undertake this on vero, but I’m perfectly OK with this.  It makes way more sense to build this on a PCB.

Here’s the thread by Jonny on DIY Stompboxes with a detailed explanation of the circuit.  Well worth a read.
