Elektor Compression and Distortion

4/7/2015

Here is an old circuit from Elektor, a dirty compressor and distortion in one. I was surprised that this one actually sounds really nice. The compression goes from fairly clean and subtle to very compressed and dirty. The distortion isn't bad either. :)

I didn't have a BF256C, so I tried both a 2N5457 and a BF245B insted with good results. Just keep in mind the pinout.
