This place is getting boring to many clones and PCBs.

Come on people build something point to point or on perf board or with the junk you have.

I know some here do build this way?

LESS talking more BUILDING
 
You mean something like this?

Hey Jakob, very nice.
I supose this is the passive eq you are working on.
G XIV ?

What type of inductors you use for this?
It is a passive multiband thing followed by your Pultec type SRPP?

Some of us are still a little behind the forum gurus. I would like to get to that point super fast Gus, but this is where some of us are at.

Cool!!! Jakob.
 
Different strokes for different folks, I say.

Wow, those clustors of capacitors on that picture are insane!!!! That must have been a real bitch!! Very nice Jakob!!

Hold on GUS, give me another year or so and I'll be right there with ya.
I am still trying to catch up to you. Gotta build just a few more clones first.

The "Drawing Board" should address your need for this.

:guinness: :wink:

:roll: It's already started. We have split the Lab into two groups the "original designers of the Drawing Board" and the "clone builders of the Lab".

That's too bad. Please don't insult those that choose to build from proven designs. As a newbee in this, I like to invest my money and large amounts of time (mainly learning) into designs that I know will work. Once I have learned the fundamentals, then I can start trying to be "original".

Nah.... All you have to do is this...

Hey Gus, how's your 1081 project going :?: :wink: :green: :thumb:

I like P2P and I like boards. P2P reminds me my dad doing some sound efects boxes, sirens, really cool. PCB is faster and easier (and safe also) to new folks to get started. I'm sure will do some P2P, but just after I have my studio filled up with nice gear :razz: (getting close).

P2P is ART!

Ok. I confess, I'm PCB addicted!

BTW, very nice work Jakob! :wink:

Here`s a FET compressor circuit I`ve been messing with, I still haven`t finished doing the side chain. The idea is loosly drawn from the trident. The gain control works but it distorts quite a bit, but I think that is probably because some of the side chain is missing.
 
I am not picking on anyone. I am trying to get a conversation going about building stuff.

There is cool stuff going on here. the am16s etc....

Here is an idea for a simple perf build the transformer and just the first gain stage of the 1072. 3 transistors you could build that real small using common parts 2n5088s or 2n4401s or maybe 2n3904s or 2n2222as etc.

Sometimes building something simple on perf board is good learning.

When you wire on perf or point to point you built it, so you can change easly. If working from a PCB it can be harder to change.

I look at PCB building as something for production or an early big project build. The diy part means using what you got.

I just think it would be cool to see other builds on perf. Yes there are a number of us that do build in the air, point to point, and on perf.

Yes I an building the 1081 clone on pcb and built two greens(modded a little and in a small studio now being tested) from the older PCB.

I am not against PCB. I think PCBs can limit you when you first start out. When you learn to wire on perf you will layout PCBs better from the things you can learn.
 
At work, we don't bother doing point-to-point at all, right to PC boards. Surface mount has pushed things that way. So has circuitry needing ground planes (multilayer boards) to work. But even ten or twenty years ago, many places quit doing point-to-point or wire-wrap and moved to PC boards with mod jumpers for prototypes. My original designs I usually do on PC boards, not point-to-point. Except for tube stuff, I do that point-to-point.

I see you used CTS switches. How do they hold up? I ask because I have some that I want to use for the 1081 build.
