hey guys,
today i am working on figuring out Retro's take on the 176. I stumbled upon: http://jbb.ru/176/ when i was looking for a clean layout for the redd47, just so happens my boss has been begging for me to build a vacuum tube limiter &/or compressor, running into jbb's build of the 176 had me doing Google searches to see others & i stumbled upon RETRO's take on it & discovering their nifty additions of the Asymmetry & Interstage mods. Asymmetry chooses whether the (+) peaks of the input fire the compressors sedition or the (-) or (both) summed together & the Interstage mod allows the user to add addition iron forcing the signal through a different chain into an interstage transformer. (THIS IS WHAT I UNDERSTOOD FROM READING OTHER'S POSTS & BRIEFLY SCANNING A S.O.S. SOUND ON SOUND ARTICLE — I COULD BE WRONG OR MISSING DETAILS).
My question is how would i implement the Asymmetry option myself?
*If we have time we can go over how to implement the Interstage as well :")
Thanx fellow DIY'ers!
PS. job surely couldn't have made it easier! Amazing work re-drawing the schematics to taste & the layouts look AMAZING -- beautifully easy on the eyes & all-around a great help -- THANK YOU KIND SIR! :"D
