Hi guys,
Completely new here and also completely new to the field of DIY pro audio. Have some experienced racked up over the years with a soldering iron but that is where it starts and ends pretty much. Have tried to search quite a lot both here and on google but can't seem to find what I am looking for, either through lack of experience at what I'm looking at or maybe it doesn't exist. I would really love to have a stab at creating an EQ for my very first venture into DIY, the reason for choosing an EQ is simply because I have no real use for much else, aside from a compressor (which looks even more complex!). I have a small project studio and don't do any live recording here so there is no requirement for a preamp, DI box or guitar pedal etc. I thought at least if I could build a nice sounding EQ it would be something I could use on a daily basis for mixing.
Now this is where I start to get a bit lost, from reading around I have found links to complete kits for a whole variety of nice preamps, DI's etc. but so far can't seem to find a complete kit for an EQ. Seeing as this is my first ever attempt it would be great to find an "everything in one package" kit for the EQ including PCB, components, chassis, knobs and a real detailed step-by-step "hand holding" manual. etc. The thought of sourcing components, even with a shopping list, is a little daunting when your not %110 sure of what it is your actually ordering.
Does such a kit exist at all ? I would just love to have a go at making something I could get a decent amount of mileage out of, something like a nice sounding 3 or 4 band parametric would be fantastic, but as I said I would require a really clear step-by-step to go with it. The seventh Circle guys seem to have just the kind of entry level kit I need but unfortunately they only do pre-amps.
Anyway a huge thank you to anybody that can help out at all or suggest a similar project I could both build and use in the studio. Is absolutely amazing that such a huge resource such as this board exists with a collection of such knowledgeable folks, really didn't realize DIY audio equipment had such a massive following, let alone achieving some pretty fantastic looking gear!
