Presenting 'Blue Crush' - parallel optical compressor

[zachlovescoffee]

Built from an AionFX Convex PCB. I had originally done a stupid 'orange juice' motif following the crowd. I decided to try my hand at some better design principles and came up with this. I was going to use a more traditional Japanese wave style of art. But, the vector files were so difficult to work with that I was never going to easily be able to clean it up to send to Tayda to print. Thus, I opted for a simpler wave style that I could print on my laser jet. I think it came out okay!

Looks great, how's the soundz?

Your original idea had a great look, but would have indeed been a lot of work to prep for UV print, but I think you did an ace job of finding an alternative! You kept the spirit and it indeed looks great! Good job!

(And before somebody else says it, we need a gutshot )

No guts no glory!

Sounds great - very quiet in TB mode. Not super quishy just the right amount of squish. I keep it around 80-90% with -3dB gain. Very clean and adds a little sparkle.

Guts forthcoming!

looks great! A very subtle compressor, adds just enough to know its there and you miss it when its gone.
