Last night I spent about 5 hours drawing out the schematic for my new pedal. I was putting it into some CAD software and drawing out a circuit board. That was an intense evening of concentration.Today I went into my rehearsal space/workshop. I was going to record and build, but vocals were going so well I didn't get to any electronics.Ben

You might want to recap the audio boards too.

Top of my list is to get some PCBs made up for a midi-controlled line mixer I'm building. I need to get this done in the next couple of weeks while I can still use the labs in uni...Also need to make up a PSU for some preamps I'm building, and finish off the metalwork on an SSL compressor clone.

Put a new battery in my new A810, went with a NiMH one and it seems to be running smoothly so far, holding it's data, not freaking out and rebooting in the middle of playback etc. Also cleaned all the old battery crust off the pcb and checked the continuity of all the tracks that had crusty stuff on them.Checked the azimuth and did a repro calibration for 15 & 30IPS, discovered that the bass repro adjustment doesn't do anything on one of the repro cards (swapped the card into the other channel and the problem moved with it). Looking at the schematic, probably a schmutzed DAC or maybe one output of the decoder is dead. Tried re-seating the chips to no avail, so I will pick up a new one of each tomorrow and see if I can finish doing the line up properly so I can get on with mixing some records!

Wow... that's some juice.Nice preamp tube placement.Does the MV control the first channel (VTB)?What is the topology of the second channel? JCM800/plexi (tonestack last), Fender (early tonestack), or something different?Very cool sir!
