Searching Demeter Compulator mod

[eutgard]

At http://www.demeteramps.com/reviews/comp1bassplayer.html

Mr. Demeter himself said

"I tried including an LED to show when the pedal is compressing, but with a 9-volt-battery power supply as opposed to an AC adapter, the additional circuitry added unacceptable noise."


Do you know any soluton to this inconvenience?

Sad to say, the solution is to buy a different pedal. Frankly, so many pedal builders have successfully included compression-indicator LED's, without any more noise than the Demeter has anyway, that I'm very disappointed he chose to leave it at that--even on the new "Pro" model. I do not know of any mod that has made this change to the Demeter design.

I think You could add a fet tapped off the audio to drive the led.

Over at fsb theres a simple optical comp diy that could easily have a "indicator" led too.

Thank you for your responses.

But I like my Compulator so much
