Clean it’s quite, it’s when I add OD or DIST, it’s bloody noisy. Thing that is really confusing me is the compression pot working back to front.
Just finished the pedal and I am well impressed. Added the gain pot too. Only issue is that it makes a hum/buzz when no notes are being played ! Any ideas what this could be.

1. Did you clean the back of the PCB & look for any bridges?It’s defiantly 1k5. Brown, Green, Black, Brown, Brown. I have attached a better picture of the board. I have also cross ref’d all the other resistors and they are correct. When building I wasn’t sure which way the Opto went but I matched the + on the casing to the anode on the board.

Ahhh, yah might be cheaper for you to order one hahaha. Well, hopefully the new opto will solve it. But, if I compare my Constrictor with my other optical compressors it's really very super light compression. It's like made for people who don't like compression Which is also what makes it nice as an "always on" type of box. The General Tso's has a lot more compression and is also fairly transparent. It has replaced my Constrictor as my preferred compressor (at the moment).Thanks for the offer dude, I have just ordered one. I’m in the UK. Subtle would be an understatement, it’s providing no compression that I can tell. Hopefully the new VTL5C1 will do the job. If not it’s going in the bin
FF obviously watches too many movies........now THAT's f*** Funny!Funny noise as in Funny Hahaha or Funny strange...
So what is this thread...
You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little f***ed up maybe, but funny noise how, I mean funny like a clown, it amuses you? It makes you laugh, it's a noise in the Constrictor that f***in' amuses you? What do you mean "funny noise", funny noise how? How is the Constrictor funny-noisy?
No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? The thread title said your Constrictor has a funny noise. How the f*** is it funny-noisy, what the f*** is so funny about it? Tell me, tell me what's the funny noise!
I couldn't resist posting this.
