Guitar Tube Pre Amp

One thing I have to say before I write further. I cant' tell you the exact sizes of the holes etc you need to drill because it depends on which parts you use and what kind of housing you choose. So, Youll need : A Case. 1 12AX7 or ECC83 Tube 1 9 Pin Tube Socket + Screws 1 200V 470uF Electrolytic Capacitor 1 1M Ohm Logaritmic Pot 1 100k Ohm Logaritmic Pot 2 Switches, 1 DPDT and 1 SPDT 2 35 V 2.2uF Electrolytic Capacitors 2 6.3mm Jacks 1 400V 0.68uF Polyester Capacitor 1 100V 1uF Poly Capacitor Lots of wire.

Since I have serviced several Neve 1073 modules and Neve consoles I was excited to open up the GA73 and have a look inside. What I saw impressed me and I am sure it would also impress Rupert Neve himself with how closely the circuit follows the original 1073 drawings that I have from 1973. It also sounded really good out of the box and you would have to get up toward nearly $1200 a channel to get something that compares in sound and features I think.

The only difference I noticed right off was that the GA73 used electrolytic coupling capacitors where Neve used tantalums but this would only increase the price about $15. The tantalums are a little more accurate and generally considered more “HiFi” than electrolytic capacitors. The heart of the Neve 1073 and a good part of the sound is derived from the 23 position gain switch which varies in 5db steps from -20db to -80db. Cheers, Dave Thomas Advanced Audio Microphones.

Uneeda Audio - Build your own attenuator pads

Here is what you need to know, in one place. What is a Pad? Where can I use them? A pad is nothing more than a network made of resistors that creates loss (attenuation) in a transmission line. Pads can be designed with many different attributes: matched impedances, unmatched impedances, etc. A thorough treatment of the subject can be found in the following (among others) references: The Audio Cyclopedia, 2nd ed., Howard W.

They don't make any sound, yet they can set you back hundreds of dollars. If you have a few basic tools, though, you can build cheap racks. Here's how: A rack is a box. Boxes are easy to build. Materials & Tools needed: 3/8" Interior Plywood (1/2 4'x8' sheet for one rack) 8' 1"x1" pine board strips 1" sheetrock or wood screws. EITHER: Pre-drilled rack rails & matching mounting screws OR standard shelving rails & 1/4" furring strips. 1/4" machine screws (with big heads) 1/4" screw tap & matching drill bits Saw, drill, tape measure, screwdriver and/or screw bits for the drill. The first decision is how deep to make the box. For width, the rack units themselves are 19 inches wide, but you want to add a 1/4" or so for some slack on the sides. Height? It's Hip to Be Square Now you have to cut some plywood. 3/8" plywood is thick enough.

To construct a stable box, use screws. Good Screwing Made Easy. JLM Audio Shop.
