forgive my ignorance but is this a 2 x channels and is this in a rack or 500 series format?
Thanks

[David W]

2 channels in a 1U 19" Rack.

"OLD SCHOOL"

Mmm sexy..

[chris p]

and for those who want, there are instructions on the JLM site for adding in a compressor etc if you want to make a channel strip

[HA_DA_JA]

Does it fit into the same rack or do you need another one?

[chris p]

You'd likely need to have each dual 99V/comp combo in its own 1U rack.

pics of inside and out?

OK I've got a few emails already so will answer them here instead of answering the same questions.

The 99V opAmp is not the new 16V version as the unit runs on 24V. It is the original one.
The output knod can be pulled out to give full range attenuation of left in for fine tuning.
There are no Inserts. Just Mic in and Output.
I've recapped with Panasonic FC's which to me just give an all round improved sound quality the the original Green brand ?
The impedance switch is an add on. There is a new faceplate which can accomidate this but mine has no markings. Values are same as JLM99v500.

Sound is clean and thick. Think custard - no not the band. Almost has a fat compression quality to it. (To me anyway).

I can email pic's.

If I don't answer promptly please excuse me as I have my first baby due any day now. I think the sale of this my just fund the nappy bill :-(

re nappies..
you could do what some traditional japanese did / still do
when your wife has a baby you send her home to mother until the baby is toilet trained !

you hang out with your mates in "whisky bars smoking cigars" and wait for your beautiful wife and perfect child return
sometimes if the boss at work allows it you can go and visit on saturday
and the best bit is your little sister in law gets sent around to handle all of the "domestic duties" in your time of "stress"

it gets the mother an child back in the house in about 9 months to a year- toilet trained and super quiet
- no nappies required .

but have you seen the kinds of crazy home stereo systems this leads to ?
it might be better to buy the nappies :)

[HA_DA_JA]

just out of curiosity Rick do you own any JLM gear?

[David W]

Rick if my wife ever get's to read that I may be barred from here for life. :-)

Oh and she'll realise all these gear is worth an extra 0 on the end.

Yes, shhhhhh, we don't want our wives knowing how much we spend on our addiction.

I have a few JLM items, 99v500, NV500, PEQ500 all in a lunchbox. Wife has no idea how much it is worth. I think coz I sold some valve amps (that took up space in the house) and replaced the space with a hugely smaller item she is happy.

Never leave invoices for gear lying around where your missus can find them is my advice.

Never leave invoices for gear lying around where the missus can find them is my advice. Mine found the invoice for my Rosetta 800. :( She never had an idea about prices before that.

I keep putting off going on holiday with my girlfriend to buy gear. I think in about ten years we'll make it to Melbourne.

Unless I need some new gear then.

;)

a bunch of my custom mastering stuff runs jlm 99 opamps and various boards but with circuit tweaks by genius in disguise rob squire .
i speak to joe a bit
spoke to him yesterday in fact
clever man is joe malone.

i was changing a tyre on my futura today in the rain, the jack slipped and a ton of australian 1964 heavy metal crushed my thumb,
f@#$ it hurts - i am not in the mood for it to be broken , tommorrow will tell
dumb man is rick o'neil

[Ausrock]

As someone who has spent too many of their 58 years either under or beside jacked up cars I'll choose to remain wisely silent.

[tweakeasy]

a ton of australian 1964 heavy metal

Same year as my 220SE Benz Fintail. Definitely a heavy year for cars! :)

Hope your thumb's not screwed. No hitchhiking for a month.

you know when your doing something dumb , and you know its dumb but you think "..she'll be right"

in my experience "she" is never right !

my thumbs not broken , but i bet my thumbnail falls off .

[Chris H]

I hate pain..... and avoid it at all cost. Made it to 50 with no stitches or brocken bones....but luck is on my side. The one time i should have had stitches we lived too far out in the bush, just west of the Little Desert in SA.

[NYMo]

Hi there,

Hey Chris...I hear ya... I made it past 50 without broken bones, self inflicted stitches or even a fist fight.
(ok ...I may have been decked by a few women !)

This reminds me of Mel Gibson & Renee Russo in Lethal Weapon 2or 3 when they are comparing scars and stuff..
;-)
I had my gall bladder out April last year and tonsills a year before that.. At 40, tonsils REALLY REALLY hurt when they come out - much better to lose them when you are a kid!!
2 days out of hospital I got asked to go record Pennywise at Luna Park. I had to take a roadie (thanks Pete) to help carry my gear as I wasnt supposed to lift for 6 weeks!!

John, dont admit you've been decked by women (unless decked in another manner)
;-)

[NYMo]

Hi there,

Tim..there is no shame in being decked by a woman...they ARE the superior race ;-) !!!

Hmmm, I wont tell my wife that!!

[HA_DA_JA]

unfortunately my wife already knows that and most times with the decisions I make I tend to agree!

[rick]

jeez you just gotta to tell your woman who the boss is

[rick]

as in ..."yes honey your the boss what else do you want me to do before i go fishing"

[Chris H]

but have you seen the kinds of crazy home stereo systems this leads to ?

Funny you should mention it..as a matter of fact i have....some git has been posting up pics of these crazy home hi fi setups on some OS forum. Judjing by the look of some of the subs...you would want to be wearing diapers if the gain was wound right up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TimS]

ahh, the brown note theory...

[rick]

re nappies..


Rick - I love this - give us some more Japanese Traditions (Wisdom).
I managed to get away with not having to get up thru the night :wink: but...
I did have to change the odd nappy or 2. :cry:

err the only other japanese wisdom i have comes from my friend "Mr Hero" at sushi bar rashi (been eating there for 24 years..) and its probably of little use here.

however make no mistake, i do the night shift "dinner bath story bed ..".and the middle of the night stuff at home every night !, and the early (6am) morning shift " wake up breakfast dress for the pack bags kiss em on the head"

ones is out of nappies- one has a year to go - how time flies when your having fun :)
