This is quoting Aron from an old post which describes exactly how mine built from markm's layout sounds,

http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/MarkMs-Gallery/album15/album76/Soul_Preacher_revision_7_LAYOUT.gif.html

"I had an original Soul Preacher and it was the worst compressor I ever owned in my life. Sometimes it would amplify the noise to ridiculous extremes then if I played any note, it would clamp down and I wouldn't be able to play for about 5 seconds until it ramped back up.
One of the best compressors is the Orange Squeezer and the MXR Dyna Comp.
Probably easier to build too."


But then here's markm quoting aron on another topic about the soul preacher,

"I had both originals. The Orange Squeezer was much better to me. The Soul Preacher had a great name, was EH, but was horrible for me. Maybe something was wrong with it."

Must have been.
The layout I have in the gallery works real well and sounds Great!
With the assistance and advice of Mark Hammer, it's actually a pretty darn good comp but, it's a helluvalot more components than the O/S.


I've sent him a pm to see if he could help me with my build but no response yet so another topic about the soul preacher was created(sorry). Has anybody built this with different results than mine?? any advice as to what could be wrong?? I would really appreciate it. thanks in advance, peace.

The Mystery of MarkM.  Miss that dude.

I'm back in town for the occassional drink and visit in the local saloon!
I think it may be a FET problem but, I won't swear to it and I have no access to any of my stuff right now so, that's as good as this answer gets fer now.
Sorry.

Sticking a tube into a tube screamer to get good sound is about like rubbing yourself all over the weight stacks at the gym to get stronger - R.G.
