Compressor Pedal Circuit Diagram. Some may be completely wrong. I have added notes in red to the schematics believed to have errors items confirmed by me or others have an ok.

Feb 15 2018 this audio limiter circuit is easy to build works with ba741 8pins or 4pins so pay attention and uses a symmetrical power supply. Basically it s a pair of filters whose output is combined through the 100k mix pot.
Below is a classic tone stack from the big muff distortion pedal.
And then there s a blend pot on the outputs. Basically if you connected a battery to a light you would have one of the simplest circuits possible so for example if you made the above circuit by connecting a battery to a light and then added a resistor anywhere in the circuit the light would be less bright than it was before. Which i think is basically a tube screamer type soft clipping circuit running parallel with a ds1 hard clipping circuit in parallel. We created several and we have redrawn some schematics that were already available on the internet for readability or ease of use these needed an easier to read format corrections or part identifiers.
