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. … Read more
A recent request. This is a monster of a pre-amp from Jonny Reckless. Best to read the details on DIY stomp boxes, as there’s a lot to this. I’ve not built this, and there’s a bit going on with it.

You can definitely hear it working, this is not one of those compressors that you aren’t sure if it’s on or not – great for clean sounds on a strat. He … Read more
