Hey guys,
This is my first post here and I'm new to the DIY thingy. 8) About to buy my first kit in a couple of days.
Anyhow! I know this is going to be my obsession for a couple of years a head (read eternity) and I've already started to think of a unit that I would like to build but couldn't find. I don't know if it isn't out there because it's impossible to make or if someone just haven't made one yet.
The thing is that I have no background in electronics at all. When I look at a schematic it looks like noodles on a piece of paper to me, haha. All I know is what I want to unit to have and how I want it to look. This means that I have no idea how to make this unit I want to build a reality and that's why I'm reaching out here. I'm hoping that I will find someone who can help me create this thing and hopefully get a unit built. Maybe even more people would like to have this so we can get some kits together?
Ok, so the idea of the unit is based on the Maselec MTC-1X and is a simpler version of it.
It's divided into the following sections:
INPUT:
INSERTS:
OUTPUT:
MONITOR:
What do you guys think? Is it possible or am I just going to have to dream about building this unit my whole life?
I've also attached my front design of the unit. Very Maselec inspired!
Thanks in advance.

It's divided into the following sections:
INPUT:
- .5dB stepped gain separately for L & R ranging from -5dB to +5dB with the option (button +5dB) which will make the gain stage 1dB per step. Cut button.
- Low cut: 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90Hz. In/Out button
- Hi cut: 12k, 14k, 16, 18k, 20k, 22k, 24k, 27kHz. In/Out button.
INSERTS:
- 6 insert points, where 1 & 2 and also 4 & 5 has the option to be flipped in order (buttons).
OUTPUT:
- .5dB stepped gain separately for L & R ranging from -5dB to +5dB. Cut button.
- Elliptical filter: OFF, 40, 60, 80, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 180, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300, 320, 340, 360Hz.
- Stereo with ranging from -100% to +100%.
- "Image button" - In/out button for the elliptical filter and stereo width.
MONITOR:
- Speaker select - 3 buttons to choose which monitors to listen to.
- Source select - 2 buttons, DAW or AUX.
- Big knob for the monitor level. Haven't decided yet if this should be stepped as everything else.
- Buttons for listening options - stereo, mono, diff. Also buttons for cut and dim.
What do you guys think? Is it possible or am I just going to have to dream about building this unit my whole life?

Thanks in advance.
