2 More Compressor Builds...

Just finished up 2 more 4-Knob Compressor builds for a couple friends.  Everything went really well until I plugged both of them in for testing.  Neither one would bypass.  One was shorting out the input tip lug on the enclosure through the heat shrink  :?  so a piece of white decal paper fixed that one up.  The other was a bit trickier but it turned out to be a badly manufactured mono jack on the output (the tip was too long and wasn't contacting the correct part of the plug).  I got that swapped out and all is right with the world.

On the upside, I now know that the audio probe I built a couple weeks ago works swimmingly :D  Found both issues with it within a minute of beginning troubleshooting   ;D

Do you have a schematic for this one dude? Just troubleshooting my build, would be easier with a schem! Thought I'd find it if I needed it and now I can't!
