PWM style compressor

[Hairy Harry]

OPinions... why sure !!!

The electroluminescent panel was the fastest light source of
its day. It could actually respond fast enough to compress the peaks
of the waveform, like a log response.

IMHO an LED is also fast enough to do this.

But without TUBES in the audio path, new designs will never
have the "sound"    (tee hee....)
