INTRODUCTION

The Nomad OTA Compressor is based on the Valve Wizard Engineer's Thumb, a DIY classic that was

first invented in 2012.

Unlike most OTA-based compressors such as the Ross or Dyna Comp, the Engineer's Thumb uses the

LM13700 as a current-controlled feedback resistor in an op-amp gain stage. This reduces noise and

significantly increases headroom compared to other designs. The audio path of the circuit actually has a

lot more in common with optical compressors such as the

The Engineer's Thumb has four official revisions, with the

projects are based on V1 or V2, the Nomad is based on this latest revision, with all of the suggested

modifications for a true 5-knob compressor. It's a simple and cheap build with a deluxe control set.

USAGE

The Nomad has the full control set of a deluxe compressor:

• Attack controls the speed at which the compressor reacts and clamps down on the signal.

• Release sets the length of time the compressor "holds on" to the signal before resetting and

awaiting the next trigger.

• Ratio blends the uncompressed signal back with the compressed response.

• Threshold controls the signal level being sent to the sidechain. By reducing it, the compression

portion is less sensitive to the input signal.

• Level controls the overall output.

• Treble (toggle switch) boosts the treble slightly to compensate for some of the perceived loss of

brightness that is inherent to most compressors.
