but who's to say how authentic his circuit is?
. . or any others that might show up = chasing phantoms
If the various plaudits are valid then reversing a known rebuild unit would seem worthwhile. Tweaking is usually an ongoing process anyway.
but who's to say how authentic his circuit is?

Otherwise, i'd say, just build Greg's 660? Thing sounds amazing...that of which the 436 was trying to sound like anyway? If the "436 emulating Fairchild" statement is anywhere near the truth...
Also, he's got a 436-type coming out....media gallery is coming soon i think. Maybe Greg knows the timeless secret? Hmph..

I think I've managed to miss that, linky?
Amen, I built the audio path on the tube sockets alone, the GR path on a 4 lug strip, done!emrr said:The 436 is so simple, I can't imagine needing a circuit board to build it.

I haven't heard the 436 plug-in yet, but I'd be curious to demo it. See if it exhibits some of the strange behavior I've seen in the hardware.
Claims of the 436 being at all related to a Fairchild, aside from them both being vari-mu, are new to me.
emrr said:The 436 is so simple, I can't imagine needing a circuit board to build it. Especially an expensive circuit board. A circuit board also makes it a total bitch to mod or experiment. Wait, there's already a publicly posted circuit board layout here somewhere, that no one ever did anything with.
A lot of people have made a lot of money in the last 15 years hawking the EMI mods, correct or incorrect.
