Hi,
Here is a couple of pics of the BA6a I completed.
It is my first limiter build and I am very pleased with it. Built into a 3U box it has
turned out reasonably tidy and sounds pretty good too. It is hum free and noisless to a
threshold of no concern to me.
I built it for tracking, but I think it sounds so good I am now building another in order to
have a stereo pair.
All the iron is Sowter iron.
I added a few of the usual extra bits - threshold, attack, S/C hi pass.
I was going to put in the extra valve test and thump calibrating stuff, only to realise that
as I have to take the lid of to get at the calibration pots, I might as well just use a meter
and be done with the extra switching.
I know its odd having the ins and outs on the front ! Its how I wanted it !
I figure it may be useful to post the turret type layout that I did. It might be of help to
some if they choose to build this way.
Thanks to those who shared and helped - much appreciated ..
Thanks also for this forum. A great resource..
