Boneyard Delegate Compressor Red LEDs and GL5516

[ac30irons]

Hey all, with 15% off PCBs at the moment it makes it worth me dropping an order to the UK.

I’ve been after this one for a while.

Can anyone tell me the difference of having or omitting the LEDs ?

Also, I have heard that you can substitute the GL5516 and LED with a NSL-32 Vactrol. What do you guys think ????

SOCKETS ...
... are your friends.
(despite some people's distaste for them).

If you then find you like the circuit both with and without the LEDs, throw 'm on a switch and have both options.
Similarly, if you found a radical difference in response between discreet LDR&LED and the Vactrol, you could put those on a 4PDT on-on.

I'm betting there's not enough of a difference to warrant such extreme switching measures.


Socket the stuff, decide what you like, then make it permanent.
