Members CHOUTMUSIC Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 it's great... it's got a lot of parts, but most builds are about the same - just more or less parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dap99 Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have the 5 knob, if that's what you're asking about. I had to order a second PCB b/c I screwed up the first. There are a lot of parts, but if you take your time (which I apparently didn't the first time) you should be fine. The problem for me now is I tossed the 2k trimpot that came w/ the kit and only had a 1k and a 5k laying around so I put the 1k in there and I can't get a clean enough sound. Some distortion is expected, but I think I have too much. I'm either gonna put the 5k in there and tweak carefully or just get a 2k in my next Mouser order. I don't like that unity gain seems to be at 9:00. Other than that, it's cool. i've not had comps before so I don't really know what to compare it to (I had a DOD, but that doesn't count). I like it in the beginning of the signal chain and w/ my Muff. Awesome for those fuzzy/synthy singing leads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members devonteran Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm interested in this. I've been eyeing this thing for a while. I've been wondering especially how it stacks up against a keeley comp. I will continue to bump as well bumpitybumpity. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Secret Seasons Posted January 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 alright, thanks for the info folks. it'd actually be my first BYOC build so I imagine it'll be a challenge, but a fun one. I've been meaning to dive into this for ages and I just sold my compressor so I thought maybe this would be a good way to start. I'll definitely do the "confidence booster" first though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm pretty keen on the opto-comp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
