Hi everyone,
The time has come to pull the wraps off the Turbo sidechain modification board.
A video demonstrating the differences:
The completed board looks like this:
Installation into a previously-built 'normal' GSSL is pretty simple, there is a complete set of illustrated instructions covering installation in basic GSSLs, as well as units which have sidechain rolloff boards fitted.
The board looks like this when it's wired in (not screwed down in this picture):
I finished up the unit and now the front panel looks like this:
(The "turbo" logo is lifted from a Porsche 951, by the way!)
I made three boards and tested them, just to make sure that they work repeatedly and reliably.
Prinited Circuit Boards are available from www.expataudio.com and for VCAs, of course the best source to go to is of course Wayne at www.ka-electronics.com.
-If anyone REALLY wants one ready-built and tested, drop me an email, ssltech-AT-Bellsouth-DOT-net and let me know. (since I have two here...)
-By the end of today, there should be a video posted at the expataudio website, showing the difference in compression behaviour between a GSSL (unmodified) and the REAL SSL console compressor. -It then shows that the Turbo board makes the GSSL behave EXACTLY as the genuine article does, having first demonstrated exactly how the GSSL behaves in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT manner from the genuine article.
