The dc shift at the plate is very large - almost the entire supply range. These are all quickly done and an example of what the unit can do, by no means are the settings perfect. Quote from: gemini86 on June 08,PM. One good thing about the 6BA6 is that it can be got quite cheaply compared to an EF86, so it could work out cheaper using 2 x BA6 than using 1 x EF86, therefore addressing the Poor Man label better. At www. Two knobs, one of which is attack, means that there is only one other control.
Ask any sound engineer or artist out there to name one of the most iconic tube compressors ever made – the majority would certainly say it's the Teletronix LA2A. a stereo - dual channel compressor limiter design based on the historic U73b The Opto 7 is a dual channel all tube electroluminescent compressor.
Please DO NOT contact us regarding parts or info for the DIY-projects, as we don' t sell with mains voltages and the very high DC voltages ocurring in tube circuits. The circuit for this stereo compressor is amazingly simple for a compressor.
With 1M added it sounds more open, but still compresses great, totally different from a VCA type compressor.

Just did a sim and a bunch of research and that schemo I posted is a dud C2 is quite problematic. The detector decay will be tuned with the adjustable RC pair on the output.

How about a nice and easy tube compressor? Started by bodega The Lab. I would have said 12 to 90V.
Reader Bill W recently sent us a few interesting ancient DIY audio projects that we had not seen before. Today's post is from.

Matt: I guy at work who is sound man for a number of commercial groups in Melbourne has asked me to make a tube compressor for him.
Something I would feel more confident in. Post subject: A tube compressor for the common man Posted: Tue Dec 07, am.

I replaced the original 1ma background with my own design and added two orange leds. Don't know, just asking.

At a guess what would you expect the HT to be. I believe that the first triode is running in a very nonlinear fashion just to drive the detector.
I just don't know. Guess which one is first?
Should have it done tomorrow. A quick fix would be to increase the value of C by placing another capacitor in parallel.

The compressor sounds completely different, almost as if it was used as a parallel compressor.
The detector circuitry isn't that difficult.
