Reddish 500 EQ

There's free and/ or open source PDF readers that you can do a Save As from and change some of the settings like image compression etc to reduce file size.

Question for the group: does anyone know how to reduce the size of a PDF without Acrobat? And what is the actual file size limit for the forum? I have the build guide ready to go, but it is too large to upload thanks to all of the pictures.

You can send it to me PM via https://wetransfer.com/ and i will reduce it. I have Acrobat Pro. P.

Curious if there are any finished units out there? I'm just waiting on the transformers and inductors from UTM

Some Progress ...my own winding Inductors.

Looking great, guys!

@lukas wow, taking it to a new level with those self-wound inductors!

@slipperyflax I don't know if this counts, but I have finished a unit with the new boards. You'll see those photos featured in the build guide, which will be uploaded ASAP.

@Beatpeat I really appreciate the offer, I'll send you the build guide today to reduce

 

[slipperyflax]

@lukas Wow! Really next level!

@JMan Of course it counts! Looking forward to see the guide!

While waiting for the first post to be updated again, here you go

I must have accidentally removed those files from the first post when I tried to upload the build guide. I have re-uploaded the BOM and schematic. The build guide has been sent to Beatpeat to shrink (I hope it's possible, I really made it quite large by mistake - otherwise I'll have to go back and make some edits). As soon as it's ready, I'll update the first post again.

Well, just like that, Beatpeat came through! The reduced-size build guide has now been successfully added to the first post. Thanks a million!

Although the BOM and schematic are included in the build guide, I've left the original schematic doc in the first post as well, since I think will still be useful to have a full size/resolution version of that to work from.

Happy building, everyone!

 

[slipperyflax]

The build guide looks absolutely fantastic! Really nice work!

Yes, sorry for the spam, but the build guide looks great!

Among other things I’ve been muttering to myself “I guess I’ll have to finally learn how to set pins on a Grayhill…”

 

[JMan]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words!

TimG, I hear you, the Grayhills are not entirely intuitive to put together. Hopefully the build guide makes it paint-by-numbers simple!

Here is my own personal Grayhill cheat sheet.

I have 2 channels of Redd Eq on the bench as well!

Maybe some Gen Z kids, who aren’t annoying will come make us some 21st century Meta threads.

Greetings ! Thank you for this posting .
I am seeing the BOM but not the actual Schematic.
I am wondering if anyone else is having this oddity ?

I have no trouble seeing the schematic in the build guide, nor the actual separate pdf in the first post

Did your metalwork come from Frank or from Kevin? The countersunk hole(s) for the bolts that hold the output transformer are drilled for M2 and the others are M3.

I managed it, I used an M4 washer...
