Looks like you're using 7586s? I'm curious how you're able to make those work as the gain control element... looking at the curves, wouldn't you want something with a remote cutoff?
Thanks, I've manipulated the control circuit quite a bit to adapt but I do love the response of those triodes. I find the compression response to be very smooth with a wide sweet spot in the speed controls.
Also, my mistake yeah, thanks for the correction! I was vaguely aware of those CBS compressors years ago (a friend had one, I even looked inside), but for some reason I remembered wrong and thought the tube was only used as makeup gain.
