AM864 mod

Here's what I did to my old fav, the AM684 federal limiter.

As you'll see, I've put four controls on the front, instead of only one. If you own one of these, I'd recommend you to do the same. It makes a big diference in the way you'll end up using this fabulous compressor! They are ratio, input attenuation, and threshold and output-leveler. They are actually not Rato and threshold in a traditional sense. I see them more as tone shapers. but on the front I choosed to label them as opposite from the original. So the limiter threshold is my ratio pot. makes more sense.

All the caps were swapped out, off course, and some of the rotten old cables changed.



The last page of the instruction manual is funny. It's got a list of the ten best ways to destroy the unit if you suspect that it will fall into enemy hands. explosives are recomended.
