Here are the instructions for the Classic Compressor

Classic Compressor Instructions

Here are the instructions for the newest 5-knob version of the Compressor.

Compressor Instructions

Here are the instructions for the new Optical Compressor (top mounted jacks).

OptiComp Instructions

Here are the instructions for the older Optical Compressor (side mounted jacks).

Thought this might be helpful and easier to find in this sticked thread:

5-knob signal path. To be followed with a signal tester.

byoc wrote:
We'll just go over the semi conductor test spots rather than break down every single eyelet along the signal path. When you find the dead spot, then we know which area we need to go through with a fine tooth comb.

Dry signal: IN eyelet > base Q1 > base Q6 > base Q7 > OUT eyelet

Compressed signal: IN eyelet > base Q1 > pin 6 CA3080 or pin 8 BA6110 > base Q2 > base Q3 > base Q4 > base Q5 > base Q7 > OUT eyelet

A couple of sets of working 5 knob transistor voltages. Readings will vary. These are just rough guidelines to check your voltages.

#1
Power Supply = 9.02V

Q1
E = 2.1V
B = 2.5V
C = 6.9V

Q2
E = 3.9V
B = 4.5V
C = 5.1V

Q3
E = 0V
B = 0V
C = 8.9V

Q4
E = 0V
B = 0V
C = 8.9V

Q5
E = 8.5V
B = 8.9V
C = 9V

Q6
E = .35V
B = .92V
C = 5.5V

Q7
E = .34V
B = .92V
C = 5.6V


#2

Power Supply = 8.91V

Q1
E = 1.86V
B = 2.27V
C = 6.42V

Q2
E = 3.49V
B = 4.09V
C = 4.82V

Q3
E = 0V
B = 0V
C = 8.30V

Q4
E = 0V
B = 0V
C = 8.30V

Q5
E = 7.76V
B = 8.23V
C = 8.29V

Q6
E = 0.38V
B = 0.98V
C = 4.34V

Q7
E = 0.39V
B = 0.99V
C = 4.30V
