Step 14 – Final check
Most attention needs to be paid on the orientation of the components, are they soldered in
correctly?
Are the transistors types at the right place?
Are the resistor and capacitor values placed correctly on the board?
Are the solder joints well soldered? Is there any excess of solder? Are there any solder bridges?
Step 15 – Cleaning
After everything is done, give the back of the board a good scrub with isopropyl alcohol and a brush
(or toothbrush).
Usage
The usage is pretty straight forward. There are three trimpots and a jumper setting:
Threshold:
Turning CCW for higher levels or less GR and CW for lower levels or more GR
Release:
Turning CCW is faster and CW is slower
Attack:
Turning CCW is faster and CW is slower
Attack and Release settings also have a combined influence on GR level.
Jumper:
You can select between 2:1 (bottom) and 4:1 (top) ratio. If you remove the jumper, the
sidechain will be bypassed and you can use the compressor as a pass-through saturation device.
Note that there will still occur some constant gain reduction in this setting, depending on the
amplitude of the signal.
Please note:
The module takes about 5-10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium.
