4-Knob Compressor

[pickdropper]

Hey Dave. I had mentioned that I wanted one of these, then held off because I saw you were going to do a second run with a correction. Are you still planning on doing that?

Hey Bill,

The boards actually showed up yesterday.  I am soldering one of them right now to verify it.

The fab messed up the silkscreen a bit, so I am going to slightly discount these.  It won't matter with population because I'll provide a PCB image for reference.

Cool. I'll watch this thread, I'm interested in getting two. My wife wants a compressor too.

I'm assuming this is a take on the Keely 4 knob compressor, which of course is a modded Ross. Is this correct?

Yes, although I will confess to not having studied the Keeley extensively.  It was my understanding that all Keeley did was mount replace 2 of the trimpots with potentiometers that could be controlled externally.

Dang! Nice job, I totally missed this build. 

I'm starting to think we need a new subforum where mortal builders (like me) can post pics without the shame of being too near these epic build pics

Is that box the typical hammond 1590b. Maybe its the picture but it looks a little deeper to me.

Nope. That's a 125B. Barely bigger, but infinitely better than a 1590B. One reason is that you can get full size 1/4" AND DC jacks on the top side. Another is the interior space - taller, deeper and wider.
