4xTHAT2181 VCA board for GSSL etc builds, DBX 202X replacement

But you can use sockets and jumpers, start with one VCA for each side, and you can add 1 or 3 more latter if you want and move the jumpers correspondingly.

Great idea, thanks.
However, for small changes always you need to look at the bill...
But for 6dBs maybe it worth the expense

It can be.
But if you look to the 2181 datasheet http://www.thatcorp.com/datashts/THAT_2181-Series_Datasheet.pdf it is already a very performant chip :  -98 dB noise floor at unity, -88 dB at +15dB gain.

This is coming up at the perfect time for me because I just got a set of MixBuzz 500 PCBs and I seem to have lost the VCA PCBs.

I’m probably going to need to whip up some PCBs to complete my build
