[canidoit]

onlymee, any ideas on when this project will be out?

 

[analogical]

I have no money for this, but lord she's a beaut- I will smash my piggy bank and buy some pcb's tho if only one run is going to be offered.

 

[lyonsdk]

Looks beautiful.  I would be in for two 500 Neve pres.

Waiting anxiously to hear more about these.

I've been looking for a 500 form mic pre project and this looks incredible.  I'd Be in for two!

 

[bplastic77]

I would be in for one or two.

 

[andre tchmil]

[mylesgm]

I'm in for a couple at least... got to fill my 51x rack!

 

[Brolik]

I would definitely be interested in at least 1, prob 2 kits depending on my cash flow situation when this goes down.

Finnglish.... gotta love it.. ;D

 

[funkymonksf]

I'm in for 2! What's the status?

 

[onlymeeee]

Shouldn't be too long.
Working on it as we speak.
I've had it in the studio for the last month giving it a good thorough testing.
I've changed/changing a few things which is why the delay  (After using it for a good while and asking some others for feedback I've shufflled settings down one to fit an extra +10dB line setting. For when you need some gain at line level, also works for a hot mic when 20dB is too high. eg. NS10 cone on a kick)  (Also tweaked a few things round on PCB to make assembly easier. It was a bit fiddly for my liking.)

So to sum up...  Working on improving it for you all and shouldn't be too long!

Great! Don't stress it 

 

[sodderboy]

Is that flux or pheromones that I smell?
I see that this heapum-cool project is in a interdimensional race with at least two commercial companies trying to do the same thing. 
Steady on, old boy. 
The 500 series re-birth is a fantastic shot in the arm for "console" building.  It is like things are going in full circle back to the 60's in a really good way for once.

Is there a rough (obviously we won't hold you to anything) price on a completed unit? Or are you considering a run with transformers or anything, maybe a full parts kit?

Tis a good question.  I'm still trying to finalise pricing, but for a rough estimate, it's looking like it will be around the same kind of a price another certain London '500-series connoisseur' charges.  For the first run at least, it will PCB & metalwork/hardware.  Possibly later down the line, I'll do full kits/transformers etc.

 

[funkymonksf]

So cool! Very glad to hear you got the metalwork in the works. Such a pain in the arse. Hey were you even planning to do a kit when you built it or did just happen to be? Either way makes my world prettier knowing I'll have a sassy neve 1290 in my lunchbox! Good things are on their way!

Really excited for this ;D I had an opportunity to track on an 88r back when I was at school, i miss that neve pre sound

I'm down for at least one probably two for the initial pcb and metalwork run

 

[pacemaker]

[houserecords]

I would also like 1 or 2 of these.
