DIY SSL 9K and G series Comp Combo

Postby Mac » Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:29 pm

Hi guys, been a while since I dropped in here. Finally got through my last round of work commitments long enough to finish up this little tiger which has been siting on my bench for too long. Two channels of 9000 series mic pres, and a GSSL compressor - stereo sidechain - and my own design stereo sidechain filter stage.

Cool idea! How did you do the front panel? Just transfers?

Front panel was designed in autocad ras then laser marked and machined.

Nice work Cameron.
Does it have the punchy tight SSL sound? Looks like it does...:)
Also...Can you line in on the comp only?

SSL would be proud.

Hey Miles,
local guy here on the sunshine coast - i have tried a few places but it is hard to find someone who "gets" the attention to detail necessary.

I need to get back to you about those transformers too... will be in touch (budget issues!!)
