And Yet Another Finished SSL...

[pxpx83]

Just finished my ssl compressor. I highly recommend this project for any first-time diyer who is looking for a project. Big thanks to everyone who has helped me finish this, especially Ian and James. Thanks to Jakob for making such an awesome project available to everyone.

Here are some photos (i still need to figure out what knobs to use..)

Anyone have a quick and easy way for me to get power to the behinger meter? Time to start stuffing the boards for my next ssl!

I pulled voltage (rectified, but unregulated) from the Main PCB and used a resistor to drop the voltage down to 12V, I think. I put a pot in there at first, then adjusted to the desired voltage/brightness. Then I measured the pot and put in a 1/2W resistor of that value. That resistor does get a little warm, so a 1/2W resistor might be best.

Let me know if this helps.
