Thank you all for the compliments. It's an opto compressor I had an idea for and which everyone here helped me with. The compression part, the opto element isn't on the board yet. It is NYDave's one bottle with a 10k:10k input xformer, the opto element will be driven by a edcor transformer... the borken one there is just a place marker. The makeup gain is a 2x6BX7 line stage and I think that is a 10k:10k Jensen. I forget. I have to dig out the schematics and notes I made. I build everything on turret boards because it looks nice and it is the only way I can figure out how to put something together from a schematic. It takes me days sometimes.
The turret board is glass and I drilled it myself. I was building a box with a mic-pre, tube comp and passive inductor EQ all in one, so I am building everything on these turret boards to make it neat and compact and kind of modular. I have the passive EQ board done as well.
I was planning on using one of Paul's (S) PS boards for the power supply.
I got interupted by something, I think I started dating somebody, so I haven't gone forward on it again because I am too busy playing music now.
edit: if I had seen Rowan's design I simply would have built that instead. I could fit that on a turret board easily. My confidence in my ability to design and troubleshoot things is very low, even with all the help I get here, so I would rather just build something that I know works and sounds good. I still may... I can use the two pre's on the board in the picture for all kinds of stuff... like a one bottle mic pre and the 6BX7 stage could be makeup gain for the passive EQ. Or maybe make it into one monster high gain mic pre. Er no, I would put the passive EQ in between the two amps.
