It's working, the volume drop is normal cause it acts as resistance/clipping. If you put it before the transformer, with the right resistance set up, it should work similar to a tube, but with a tiny opto compression aspect.
The circuit is a Wheatstone bridge the more unbalanced it is more output if it is balanced there is no output I think the transistor goes across the100R resistor and is turned on as the power increases bringing the bridge into balance therefore lowering the output
Well with the speaker no cos with that kind of current they might just act like a fuse. I think somewhere just after the guitar (or after some boost if more voltage is needed) might be better.

i enjoyed the video , thanks for taking the time to record it.
Thank you. I think that you could tell more about what it is doing by looking at its output on a scope.
Good idea. I will try that.
My Hammond lights up in the back when i crank it, the ao 44 amp is feed thru the speaker output from the main amp, so much more volts then a guitar

Clear as mud.
Yep
I Will try this. Thanks
more an attenuator than Compressor?
I believe that you need to place it between the amp and the speaker.
You don't put a resistor beetween the amp and speaker!

Honestly just put both lightbulbs in series with your speaker and you'll get some compression.
Yeah
