Drawmer dl251

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone is able to highlight the audio signal path in the attached schematic.

I don’t want to waste money on replacing anything that isn’t.

If anyone has any general mod suggestions would be appreciated. It sucks none of the opamps are socketed

Thank you

What´s wrong with it?

Oh nothing is wrong with it - I’ve just over the years accumulated lots of surplus parts that I could use.

It’s quite a early model so could probably do with replacing the lytics of which is mainly used.

It's a good Drawmer! They used to be the benchmark around here, you know.
They are still some of my most transparent and useful Comps & Gates.
Changing the Op-amps won't change much on this baby, I think.
I did butchered a newer DBX last year, shitty sound, totally different story.

If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.
If it sounds Terrible, then it's a different story.

Yes, I definitely won’t mess about with opamps seeing as they are not socketed.

Yep you are right - I’ll probably just replace obvious culprits like in/out caps, standard values I happen to have and forgo anything I need to buy.
