Simple DIY Compression?

Add all other board components, and shipping, convert from US pesos dollars to $AU.  Multiply by number of drum channels.

Yeh well you don't need to use a separate PSU for each unit like that, so you can save a bundle by making your own PSU to power all 8... the other components will only be a few bucks... Shipping will be about the same for 8 as it would for 1... I know what you mean though. Trust me thought this will sound about 1000 times better than the b*hringer. FYI, behringer will have new gear announced in the next two weeks, so you might like to hold off, if you're considering that route.

Then I might as well *ahem* adapt their layout to protoboard, skip the balancing transformers and order the Thats from Smallbear Profusion.

  That's the "What?" comp.  We linked that above.

Meanwhile, I had another look at Smallbear's comp ICs.  The Q&D Comp 2 from AMZ looks like a really simple build, based on the Analogue Devices SSM2166 - which is slightly cheaper than the That4031 and has an integrated noise gate

oh f***! I hit modify instead of quote and didn't realise SO sorry man! :(

IIRC you said, you might as well convert the schem to protoboard, skip the balancing transformers, and order the THAT's from small bear...

And you pointed out that JoeCheep is the What comp.

And you pointed out that Joe Cheep is the What comp.

Sorry for posting that - I'd only ever had it bookmarked as 'Joe Cheep', from the original group thread.

A nice inexpensive project from the parts point of view, but hell on time - I did one on perfboard. If postage wasn't so expensive I'd send it over, for a template. This was before I'd heard of Lochmaster!

Best wishes
