While I've never heard the term "volume expander", an expander is
more or less the opposite of compressor -- it increases the dynamic
range of a signal. They are primarily used for sound restoration and
noise reduction.

To which circuit are you referring?? Do you have a link??

I'm pretty sure anything you find in the files section will need to be
altered to suit your purposes (and available parts).


Hopefully there will one day be a file of ready-to-build tube synth
circuits we can share, but it's early days yet. For now, all these
files are more to help people work out their own designs - how to get
tubes to oscillate, different waveshapes, etc
