Re-introduction:

In terms of classic recording equipment clones that I've built, I have a bunch of SSL, API, and Neve mic preamps, and I'm developing my own API clone with a friend for the 500 Series. Here are some hashtags:

#500SeriesAPIClone #500Series #ML12Build #Neve1073Build #MP573Build #SSL9kBuild #SSLBusComp

If you're into electronics and home recording, recording in general, or making, I've got a ton of projects I've built over the last 3 or 4 years all documented to varying degrees up here with hashtags.

Here they are. Good luck.

#ML12Build

1/2

Finally got my SSL bus compressor working. It didn't work on initial power up last year and then life happened and it said on a shelf until I opened it up today and solved the problem.

@jayrope And here's the list:

So the SSL Bus Comp is "finished."

Except I got a bad power transformer, and I can't tell if it's working properly until I replace that.

Gotta call the Transformer manufacturer tomorrow and explain how "no, I don't have a receipt for the unit, and I bought the kit from some guy you've never heard of in Denmark..."

Can't WAIT for THAT conversation! 🙂

At least they're in the US.

So for now, it's a very nice Doorstop.

#SSLBusComp

Got the XLR ins and outs wired on the rear panel, as well as the AC inlet.

#SSLBusComp

I now have all of the control board wired to the front panel controls. Still have to wire the back panel.

Then comes the AC mains.
