+1, seems to be a very good project (I like the drive on vocals...)

finished the front panel design. Now just have to get it CNC'd, painted, stickered, leathered (yes!) etc. Not exactly cheap but I want to test a few new things in that area as well.

I'll finish up the actual amp, feature testing, tweaks and PCB's after that. Probably late this summer.

Well, it's kind of "late this summer" is this drive-1 baby getting along well?

 

[JayDubrek]

I'll second that, been watching this thread with interest and quite looking forward to having a crack at this one!

Cheers

Late in the summer? But I haven't even had my holidays yet! 

I had to put baby in the corner.

Late august, early september for more progress. I completed the front panel design at least, including all the stickers, color grading etc. It's going to be off the hook.

Awww... my grubby fingers are twitching and rutubes has the complement rather cheap, I could get the input trafo.. Still, some more sleepy time on this project won't hurt as I know you'll mod it for more awesomeness

I haven't exactly been sitting idle on this project.

Next up is debugging some last features and selecting best sounding biasing.

Jebus! Got some oldies vibe on that frontpanel. Even more than with the passive EQ you did

 

[JayDubrek]

Man that front panel is bad ass! Glad to see this thread going again!
