I now understand why this compressor is revered. It is a nice quite compressor that adds a nice color to the tone. I did not use the GL5516 LDRs, but substituted with KE-10720 from Tayda. Taking the advice from a conversation in the forum, I used diffused, red LEDs to match with the substituted LDRs. I think it did a great job!

Thanks! It is a UV print. My son found the artwork. I thought he did a good job with it. I wanted the letters to have a white border, but it didn’t work. Luckily, the letters are still legible.

Looks awesome! What you want to do there is copy the text, expand the size a bit and then subtract it from the color layer. That way the white of the enclosure or the white layer would show through.

Here’s a closeup of one of mine if it helps.
