I'd like to build an easy Compressor/limiter, preferably with trannys no chips:-)

If possible with BC108s

Cheers,

H.

Maybe because that's all he has in his parts bin, the shops are closed and he has an evening to kill? ;)

Got it in one ben :D

I've got all sorts of trannys from old TVs radios, but they all have strange codes A series C series - so I'm keeping them for repair.

The only ones think are suitable are BC108s and there clone BC548s

I know the feeling :) You could count all your parts and bodge random bits together and see what comes out ;)

Well, that sort of narrows it down to The Roland or Colorsound sustain units.  I hope you have an LDR handy.
