New design API 525... UPDATE.. METAL IN..PCBs IN

[Randyman...]

Yep - I realized that after I saw the sneak peek of the prototype a few posts back!  (I'm a dunce  )

Well - This might be what gets me into the 11-slot 51x rack!  I'll go ahead and say I'm in for a stereo pair of the 525's contingent on pricing.  That will get me into the 51x rack FOR SURE!

Thanks for this wonderful project!  8)

I'd be in for 2 kits

no variable attack on this one pete? just stock?

 

[crisotop]

have you ever "adjusted" the attack knob on an 1176? The 525 is equally as fast, I don't think it's necessary to add an attack pot

cheers

Yes it is a great unit just as it is...

I am interested to hear the attack mod sometime:

Hmmm, so it does work after all?

Yes it works great with plenty of adjustment. You can even get it to pump pretty good for an aggressive sound. I'm using the Omeg 1 Meg pots (thanks kazper).

Are you saying you use your 1176 with the fastest possible attack, all the time?

If so, you're missing out on some really good stuff!

 

[crisotop]

nope, but variing the attack doesn't change the sound as much as with slower compressors. The slowest possible attack on an 1176 is still ueberfast.

best,

Hello,

I would like like 2 set of these 525 clone.

First post! Yaay ;-)

If possible, and by that I mean, if my wallet let's me, I am in for 2 of these!

Will these work in the API lunchboxes?

Thanks!

Will these work in the API lunchboxes?

I'd be pretty surprised if they don't - no reason to go 51X here....

 

[Polykobol]

Hello,

What is the status of this topic?
Is it still possible to order a set?

Thanks,

PK

Wrong, page before, Peter said:

51x

I can post a soundclip with varying attack on the 525. I'd probably do a simple acoustic guitar track, unless there's a better suggestion.

Hey Peter.

I'm in for 1. I still owe you pictures of my desk with all the EQNs in it. I should have some good ones soon.

Marvellous.

I ran a guitar track though finally -
The first time through the chord progression, 525 on bypass.
Switches in with attack fast (ccw) at 18secs
Attack goes to 10oclock at 31 secs
Attack goes to 2oclock at 45 secs
Attack goes to 5oclock at 59 secs
Attack goes back to fully ccw (fast) at 1:13

seems worth having the attack control correct in the old version.

Still keen for this new design 525 when you get a chance... Lunchboxmaster Pete  8)

 

[peter purpose]

Are we having the attack control?
If so, termination and stereo switching will be on board only.
