DBX V8 VCA module teardown

Another possible solution is using this solvent but don't know if it's too harsh for the electronic components

I wonder if the 160 S/SL will ever be fashionable in studios again. I never see them around anymore, perhaps because of the vca problem ? also its hard to service the way they put it at the bottom of a folded steel case, no way to get to the bottom of the board without a thorough disassembly.

Exactly the reason why I didn´t buy one yet.

This is interesting, as I thought the V8 was advertised as a discrete transistor VCA, but all I'm seeing are SIP footprints for 2181/80 VCAs and their supporting components.

Preliminary schematic

Hi Beatnik, Do you have the component values for this schematic?

dmix and Beatnik, same question, might you have the component values?
