Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer/ Analog Man Juicer Compressor

[Giorfida]

Ok, essentially the same circuit. Staple of all the studio aces in the 70s, most notably Skunk Baxter.
Rumored to be the basis of the legendary Rockman/Scholz compressor.

Would likely be a simple build, with the tough part being jfet selection/biasing. Could also be a dual compressor as there are a few diodes and resistors that could be switched in to make the famous Rockman compressor.

Have you seen Tranter's version of the OS?

From the old archived wish-list:

Orange Smoothie Compressor V1.1by G. Tranter

There is a guide for building this pedal. Based on Orange Squeeze with many more controls. I don't know if there is a later version of the circuit. Details at: https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=102861.msg932503#msg932503

forum.pedalpcb.com

PDF HERE details for making your own with etch/perf layout.

If you spelunk a little, you'll find more info on it online.





Still, would like to see a simpler form of the OS in the PedalPCB shop's offerings (but I'd also welcome a Smoothie PCB!).

I too would like to see a simple OS, on the PpCB platform as well, with the extra “Rockman diodes” switchable. 2 knobs, 1 switch.

Of course I could just switch out the clippers in the ultimatum and have the comp as well
