Ok, cool. Will be looking forward to see and hear the unit

Mm.. that's very interesting. At least if kit.
Ratio min?
Soft knee?
Auto-release?

Yes hard to make the opto cell faster unfortunately. Longer release is also hard without killing the variable release that makes optos so great ;-) Understandable If you need fast and longer release then you need our FC500A (FET comp) or our new DC500 (Diode Bridge comp) coming early in the new yea...

Great compressor.

Tried to write a review myself,
but on missing star-rating the review was deleted..

A second forum-meta: Using first post as manual is maybe not a good idea.
Makes loading posts a pita.

Thank you very much Joe!

One question: I tried the 99V in the LA500A as a second gainstage (preamp + preamp). Is the sound of it the same as would be in the BA or Dual99V? I noticed some dullness in the mid-range and some hi-frequenzy attenuation (really noticeable on a small condenser on an acoustic guitar). This is just ...

Is it a reason why the JLM25HVFET opamp is not listed in the BA500 order options?

Just finished assembled the LA500A. Very good manual and instructions. Did a few mistakes, but that's my fault. Now, tried to adjust it for correct setup. That's harder for me. Will fine-read and try again. Should of course bought an extender, but saved a few bucks for not :) Edit: Made it through t...

Thank you very much sir!
Very helpful

Thanks a lot!

Here you are:

Hi! I have a question regarding wiring of transformer, main switch, jlm acdc and power switch. I have a transformer like this http://www.selectronic.fr/transformateur-r-core-14va-sans-etrier-1.html Pri: 115V + 115V Sec: 24V + 24V a standard switch (like used for gobetween) an jlm acdc and a led, sta...

Thanks you!

So, what spec would I need for the led,
for switching 230VAC using an 100k 1W resistor?

Thanks! Ahh.. what a mess. I've already ordered the 1N4007 but had now clue I would need a 100k/1W as well. And my led looks like a pilot-light type, not a led like on the current picture. But that's maybe just the housing? The resistor that came with your kit is 10k/0,25W. First you need to know th...
