As this is an older design than either the Gates Sta level or the Collins 26U<\/a>, it may not be as useful to tube audio enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main issue with the Gates and Collins unit is the GE 6386<\/a> remote cutoff triode used, which were great tubes, but very difficult to come by these days.\u00a0 This design calls for a 1612 or 6L7, which is a pentagrid amplifier.\u00a0 Feedback is provided by the screen of the following stage, a 6SJ7GT.\u00a0 Anyway, perhaps it will give somebody some idea of how to make a good tube compressor limiter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
