Nice! How is it powered?

I love it!

That's only possible with C37 lacquer :grin:

BTW: What's that sidechain switch?

variable freq. 6db/oct locut (60-90-130-200Hz) plus ext. sidechain

It definitely will sound different to a regular SSL. :grin:
But be carefull, Jakob will sue you. He holds the patent of round VU meters. :green:

the DIY Jedi speaks

you can't tell me that's not cool !!
and we all know that the internals are not that difficult to get right.
even with the confusion over some of the 2180 to 2181 mods and adjustments etc ...
and the added side chain people talked about months ago.

a beginners project with the finish of a DIY Jedi.

my DIY is good ... but Steff is a master

we're not worthy :wink:

Cool!

I take it you have lots of rackspace to spare in your studio...

It does raise the debate of how much looks influences sound; suppose you had lent out this unit (without the SSL markings) to various studios for evaluation...how many would think that it didn't sound good because it didn't have the valve sound they were expecting, and how many would say it is just soooo phat!!!

Good looking unit!

Imagine what Steffen could have done if he had money.
