Hey guys;
Yeah, I'm a newbee (here, at least), and it look like a great site for discussions/observations!
Good thoughts on the cap/resistor issue. I tend to concur with you, as R and C really aren't the same thing in that context of the circuit (when are they really, with exception of changing things up in an audio crossover, for example?).
Not trying to hijack the thread. I had originally sent an email to the Madbean himself, had not gotten any response, so I figured I'd register and start asking away!
Has anyone tried the Afterlife with better/different op amps like Burr Browns? I'm asking as I have a bunch of them (OPA-2132 for eg.) "kicking around" the parts bins and thought why not ask before taking the dive and do a build up on this!
Also, have you guys (or know anyone around her that has) who has tried a different Vactrol LDR like the 5C2 or 5C9? The Hollis website suggests using the 5C2 for bass guitar vs the 5C3 as listed in the schematics here.
Having just completed a SSM2166-based compressor from another site, I'm pretty stoked on different compressed tones now. While that compressor has a very CS-2/Orange Sq. sound (to me, as a bass player at least), I was looking for something just "different" and am highly considering the Afterlife as well...
Thanks in advanced!

I welcome any thoughts, good bad or indifferent on the circuit and part subs...
