As I have yet to build the version 1 boards I bought, this brings up a question

The Rev 3 has all the part numbers corresponding to the original schematic, also there is a grounding plane on rev3 for lower noise and slightly low THD. Also there were some minor tweaks for the footprint of the RMS and VCA units, so they fit better.

Does this mean I will have problems using my version 1 boards with original DBX VCA & RMS units?
Is there any docs you can point me to on making the improvements to V1 boards?

Thanks!

Hi Neilsk,
Ill send you a PM so this thread stays more focused.
Thanks!
Abe

Hi Abe,

Thanks!

Thanks guys! SO many little parts, I always forget how many. Anyway Kits are shipping! Everything is getting out the door. Thank you for your extreme patience...I know sometimes it kills to have to wait for this stuff but hopefully it will be all worth it and we will have some great builds. I'll update more once they are ALL shipped, some have shipped but not all but I am eagerly getting them out the door!
Thanks again,
Abe

Great glad to see they are finding their way through the postal machine. Most all kits have been sent out, only a few more to go. Also FYI to anyone shipping PCBs (rigid envelopes) or parcels over seas, the post office has jacked up their prices again, ouch! Ah well everyone has to make a little bit.

Hey Abe.  I'm not sure about a few parts on the pcb boards.  Are C1, C4, R30, C13, and the BC550 supposed to be included in the kit and/or fitted?

Thanks

C13 does not need to be stuffed if not using the discrete VCA. C1, C4 are optional.

R30 is needed as is the BC550. I just noticed R30 is not on the BOM. smeg. I don't know how that happened. Email me @ [email protected] with your address, anyone that needs those parts. Sorry about that.
Thanks.
