Build Thread:VECA MS (VCA comp)

[erquere]

Hi everybody ! I bought a pair of the MS VECA  pcbs, may someone have the .fpd files for its frontpanel ?

Best regards from France !

(and a question for Gustav : do the rev5 pcbs correct the rev4 pcb errors shown in the errata ?)

Hopefully these will help. Sorry it's a bit late!

Based on the pdf named VECA_ERRATA_4.pdf you need to correct the rev5 boards.

2x left and right crossing traces between the bypass relays.
reverse  tantals on aux board.
100nf cap on the psu section.
2x left and right two in parallel 33k resistors or one 16k  in the side chain section

Hi Gustav, because i can't find anymore on Your web site, is it possible to receive by personal mail the BOM SCH and Doc in general for Ms Veca and possibly BOM for PQD2 ( other doc still available on Your website)

(order 1285)

Thanks so much for support

 

[fonzobrown]

Hi all, please  someone may share the BOM and possibly the schematic of VECA because Gustav ( pcbgrinder) don't provide anymore on website

I may need even the PQD2 ones

i've the pcbs from almost 2 years and now i'd like to assembly my units

Your help will be really welcomed

Thanks

Roberto

Hi ! I have the whole docs for MSVECA, you can pm me your e-mail i will send it to you

 

[erquere]

Hello ! Has someone the schems of the MS VECA, especially the main board one ? I have all the other pieces for buiding, but not the schems

 

[erquere]

Noone for schems ?  :-[

Last question and I let U still : what does the P position of the release switch mean ? As I don't have schems I xan't find it by myself...

Best regards

I only now found your post, I have schematics & stuff:

Hope this helps,

[erquere]

Yes it does ! Thanks a lot !!!

Maybe you know what the "P" release position is ? 

 

[gyraf]

maybe like the auto release position of the gssl?

 

[TwentyTrees]

Maybe you know what the "P" release position is ? 

If memory serves, it stood for “Pump” - as in less transparent, more obvious gain pumping.

 

[erquere]

OK thank you ! I just got the schems, I'm going to check that ! 

 

[erquere]

The P goes to u47 and 6u8 with 1M2 and 180k resistors,

VECA_ERRATA_4.pdf for Rev5 boards

 

[T.LO]

after a few years I started to assemble this compressor. some of the errata changes I did already. some changes were absolutely new to me. There's still some work to do.

thank you ToBSn for sharing the Errata doc 4. I bought the pcb from Gustav, when he already closed the support for this project. I am happy to have a working compressor so far. I still need to change the orientation of the tantalums on the switch board. I also need a dual 10k Lin which fits in the front panel.

I want to thank Gustav for this project and everybody in the group who's sharing knowledge an experiences. You guys are fantastic!

this is how I corrected the crossed wiring inside the pcb.
