Hi everyone
long time away from the board, looks like I missed some great projects, I think I now have some time to start looking once again at some electronics projects (in between renovating our house), one of the things I have always wanted to do is an EQ, there are a few that I’ve been looking at, manly from desks, like the MCI vari Q (if someone could enlighten me as to what the laws of the pots are) and some others, anyway I’ve never tried something from scratch like this before. After a lot of musing on the subject I think the best plan of attack would be to start with a good balanced I/O, once I have that I can insert the EQ into it (that’s the theory anyway), many of the EQ’s being from desks are unbalanced plus I’m not trying to clone just be inspired by. Looking at balancing threads I get sense that the THATs chips are probably the easiest ways to go, would that be correct ? if that is the case which one’s ? what I don’t see are any diagrams so if someone could point me in the right direction for those too that would also be much appreciated.
One of the last threads by Igor seems to have exactly what I’ve been thinking about, he put up a schematic but (for me anyway) it’s not clear enough to read.

Thanks for any help you can give me to get this started.
