Vari-Mu Compression for Creative Distortion and Whatnot

So! Here's a new thing that I've been playing with the idea of. My dad gave me a bunch of tubes including a few remote-cutoff pentodes. I've been studying a lot of vintage schematics and come up with some ideas I'd like to try. Here's the first and simplest, primarily targeted to make interesting distortion sounds. Who knows if it'll work! I might add a feed-forward option. I have a bunch of ideas for these, but I'm not going to be able to get the parts for a while (saving up for a different toy) so in the meantime I'll be posting schematics as I manage to get them down.
