First off this place is great!
I was on vacation in June and when I got back my beloved TT was gone! I was in a state of shock to say the least. I went to Gearslutz and got the jist of what happened and that's when I found the link here. Life is good now. Now on to the matter at hand.
I'm currently designing a channel strip based on a 1290 and the Forssell Opto comp. My question is can I substitute electros for the tants in the pre. The 2 reasons for this are that my local electronics supplier has a limited selection of tant caps (and they're not of the correct values) but they have a very good supply of Xicon electros. The other is that I remember reading that tants aren't the greatest from a distortion standpoint.
My goal is not to make a clone of a Neve pre but to make a modern sounding one that is based on that amp design.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
cheers,
James
