As for a meter... I'm going to try one of these in there.

Those meters are actually pretty good, not perfect, but very usable. We have some on order.

 

[zayance]

Yes those behringer seem to be nice as well, i think the sifam meter i showed before is this one if i'm correct

cost more than those behringer, maybe in your design it could still be possible to make our own faceplate if we want that kind of meter, sorry for beeing such an a...ole Peter, now that i think about it maybe those Sifams are about the same anyway...

I'll be in for one or two
are they usable when linked for stereo ?

No idea... but there will be a link switch.
Up to you to match everything.

I'm interested in a couple.

Also interested to see how a t4b will physically fit in this format.

Would also like to know what the advantage of having both a t4b and vactrol in this circuit would be? Can't imagine the vactrol would be of much use in comparison to the t4b if this follows the original circuit. Or so I have read.

Prototype is 500, running off the 16V rails.
Production will be 51X sized.

Just using the EL panel and ldrs.... don't need a big can to keep light out.
Added a vactrol for flavour choice.

 

[kepeb]

sounds good to me
EDIT: also concur with a vote for LED metering on this one.

..... :  fet or tube    ???

One would expect fet like the original? Otherwise it would be more like the La2a.

 

[strangeandbouncy]

  . . . FET? are you sure? . . .

 

[peter purpose]

Quite.... show me where the fet is in an LA-3A and I'll show you my cock..!!

 

[zayance]
