From the vendor
Ultra-subtle compression - you won't know its on until you turn it off!
Rather than squashing your signal or pumping it up unnaturally, the Lovely Squeezer boosts the signal where you need it - adding dB to low-level signals while leaving higher levels untouched.
Available with through hole FET, or save a quid and go with SMT if you're confident dealing with tiny components.
The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.
If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.
Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.
Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.
Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.
Inspired by: Love Squeeze Compressor
Difficulty: Medium
PCB size: 50 x 32mm
Knobs required: 2
Enclosure: 1590B
Direct-Connect compatible (4-way)
