Any news?

New year at the earliest.

Keep us updated. I should have Tommy's 1081s coming soon so I've got a project to hold me over for a while.

this is nice!!!
also interested in 2 or 4 pcb´s.

 

[ask]

Would stereo linking be possible with the larger boards only, or not at all?

:roll:

Available on both

Sweet! Now it's getting hard to choose. :wink:

will some 3gang pushbutton banks be needed on this one? i can get a head start on that part, try and get a big load of em. dpdts?

Here is the switch count. The black caps are interlocking jobbies.

I am still interested in a pair of 500 boards.

Hi mates,
this looks all very interesting. As soon as boards are available, I would like to buy at least 2 large ones. I hope that the API 525 project is not too difficult for me. Are there any exotic, hard to get parts?
Peter, your work is very much appreciated. Count me in for 2 boards.
Regards
Bernd

is that a 4pdt?

Anyway, I'll get on it... strangely enough I think i've seen some just like both recently.

Im interested in some boards, depends of price. :thumb:

Yes, half of it is used for lamp supply and half for on/off.
I think a hard bypass is going to be better than the on/off jobbie. Still requires a 4 pole, with one pole switching on an led.

I'd be interested in 2 of the PCBs
I'd like to build 2 compressors, as my first real DIY (after messing around with repair stuff)
So, yes I hope it is not too difficult.

sidechain, yes please!! maybe the thrust circuit?????
stereo link? yes!
this would rock!!

thanks!

 

[peter purpose]

Almost there....

 

[peter purpose]

I've managed to squeeze in an upright discrete op amp for a balanced input, so will probably abandon the larger sized board.

Thats great!!! :thumb:

OK boys... final push.

There will be no stereo link on board. If going into a 500 series rack, it'll create all sorts of problems. Those that want it can achieve it by wiring to the in and out pots.

Any suggestions... now is the time.
