Cool from the outside, great from the inside!
Where's the big cap? And a real 1N60 ;-)
Looking great!
what do you make of the sound?
Here's the big cap and for the diode i've found this one in a local supplier. It's a 1N60 black glass Ge Fv is 0.228v
And for the sound, this is the first compressor i build and play so ... but my strat seems like it.

I have mine populated for some time now the only thing missing is the frickin vactrol I ordered it yesterday.
Yeah I bet this is great with a strat!
Where did you manage to find that vactrol? Seems to be a tough one to source, or I'm looking in all the wrong places.
Finished populating mine sooooo now the debugging process starts :o
Mich P, this looks really cool. You did a great job.

Not sure if this was addressed to me, but I've found mine at Banzai. It's a German site.

I finally found one here in the states also.. cost me about $10. Wish you can see me hang my head in disgust right now. lol

12 EUR at Banzai, I cringed so much while adding it to the shopping cart but... :)
Looking great, I've got one coming too, yeah...! this is great graphics and tidy tidy inside, well done! 8)
Thanks, I've got the vactrol at Banzai but it's expensive
Musikding is actually cheaper : 6.5 Euros

Yes, musikding has dropped their international shipping rates. i got mine there as well. Maybe it would have been a good idea to include it in the group buy.

Ok ;). Thats why I mounted the small parts on the bottom and the cap on top as shown in the instructions.
Good job anyhow.
Yeah, the bigger cap on top could'nt fit the box (1590B) on mine so i go that route.
Note the pots has been soldered a little bit inclined to leaving the cap breathing.
Its ok, like that the cap even not touching the case !
