An old school, loud, dirty and sometimes noisy compressor that seems to be inspired by Roland Sustainer. The original runs on two 9v batteries for 18v operation so I included an onboard voltage doubler. It might be a good idea to socket both the LED and LDR to fine tune the the compression.
With onboard input buffer. The original had two LM741s but these is replaced with its dual op amp equivalent 1458 to keep the board reasonably small
Schematic avaiable HERE The switch appears to a on/off selector for the distortion section so it can be used as a stand alone eq pedal as well.
Schematic avaiable HERE Note that pot lug numbers isn’t labelled in the schematic. And the pot tapers is unknown but my best guess is that they are linear. This one seems to be a treble booster/light overdrive with a tonestack somewhat related to a parametric eq.
Schematic and info HERE . Original calls for a VTL5C3 vactrol but since they are obsolete and stupidly expensive the layout calls for a home made vactrol. Just socket the LED and LDR to find the right combo.
