got my 2 channels of Jensen 3 band eq out of a custom made console for a popular 80's group i cant remember. snagged em off the bay about 2 wks ago. they are from Indigo Ranch Studios in CA.

if anyone wants, i'll try and get some pics and figure out as much of the layout as i can (limits of me being new, but i'll try).

allright, this is what ive mapped out so far. seems to be a pretty interesting eq. still working on figuring out what value those back two caps are...

Up With People!

I've got a couple of the mic preamps from Indigo. The pres are ok - JE-110 into a 5534 - and, they have "Up With People" screen printed on the pcb. :wink:

I didn't catch the eqs.

oh cool. they have pres? didnt see them go up, mind me asking how much he was asking?

you REALLY missed out on the eq's just LOOK at that schematic.

732pFd 2V and 11,770Farad 13,000 Volt.

The BurgerQueen module could be replaced with a Wendys #3 combo-meal for a less slippery sound.

Up With People! Yikes! Quick! Soak them in Jack Daniels or they'll suck all the funk out of your music!
 
Here are a couple of mods that might help extend the life of the unit as well as offer smoother and more stable operation:

I had one of those consoles a dozen years ago. It was a 24 ch. mono 'live' board. Lots of 5534 and TLO75(obsolete pinout), and maybe too many ceramic caps. I had parted it out, then all the cards were stolen from my car along with many cassette tapes. They probably kept the tapes and tossed all the cards ("what the heck are these?").

I've got the manual/schematics for it somewhere.....in storage I think.
I'll check for them next time I go there (a few weeks maybe).

I did find a channel strip panel with the eq legend for here in my garage. Here're some photos:

ok. on a serious note im working on this. but ive never used Eagle schematic maker before and this thing is layed out for a complete idiots workflow im thinking.
i might just end up making it in photoshop since no one will probably want to make the pcb anyways.

I just ate, but now I'm hungry again. Damn. Needless to say there's no Wendy's in Germany. I might try a whopper patch.
