If I didn't have enough 1176s and Pultec type eqs I'd be all over this. Seems like it could be a decent entryway into more affordable mastering gear.

On a practical note - the price is something that depends on wether you source your own parts/add trafos etc, etc. I much prefer to ship out a PCB and leave the rest to you :-) These have been quite popular, and the reports I am getting back from builders are positive. Not much feedback in public yet, but theres a small bite here . groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=60203.msg775664#msg775664And a few bites here (the finished units I sell - feedback tab) bymunsonandfletcher.comCheerio!

im not sure i want anymore trafos. im going to be stacking a lot on the 2bus anyways but does the full kit 380 euros come with trafos? if not is the pcb slotted for trafos if i decide to add them at a later time?
also while i have here. whats your favorite piece between these 3 comps? you have to choose one.
thanks Gustav. i have been dreaming of an m/s pultec forever. im definitely getting one of them. trying to decide between one of the comps so i can order them together. hopefully you'll discount shipping.

I think my favourite unit is the MS VECA. It does something thats unique but still subtle enough to have real life use. It opened my ears to something I haven't heard before, which is why it has to be my favourite. Its by far the least popular of the new units, though. In comparison, it seems I can sell as many MS76 as I have time to build. Maybe the MS SC balance concept is just "odd", or maybe I need to come up with a clever name that either communicates it really clearly or clouds it in total mystery a la "Center punch"  Gustav |

hopefully you'll discount shipping. Not sure if this works, but it should be good for any orders containing a kit for the next 10 days. Type REALGEAR in the Coupon field Gustav |

The VECA lets you control the M/S balance going into the side chain, not the M/S balance in the signal path. I am not what you mean by "true ms", but if you can elaborate, I may be able to help.

i mean not sidechain ms. does it convert left right into mid side and back again?

im having a hard time figuring ms sidechain out. whats the difference between the sidechain telling it to compress the mid +/- more than the side, and splitting the signal and compressing the mid +/- more than the side yourself?
also on the opto how fast/slow is it? does it use tb4 cells? and if so are they interchangeable with drips?
one more question. what would be the eta be on pultec and vca if i order today? thanks again.

Not sure I get your question 100%, but it might be easier to understand if we forget its MS for a moment. Say you pan a bass track left and a kick track right, and you feed it to a stereo comp. Say you draw an aux of the same tracks, and feed the trigger (Side chain) of the compression with that. The difference between adjusting the balance of L/R signal going into the comp, and adjusting the L/R signal going into the trigger should be obvious. Now, it might make sense to apply that thinking to your question, assuming I got your question right... On the VECA, you are adjusting the relative balance of Mid and Side information going into the trigering circuit. On the other units, you are compressing the signal path M/S content separately when M/S is engaged. When its not, they are separated L/R. Hope that makes sense, and feel free to look at the schematics and board layouts for info! (you'll see no TB4 there, for example). Delivery times are on the site. It can be a lot faster sometimes, but those are the fastest times I can guarantee. Gustav |

A few guesses:You may have added more items, or you may not have noticed that the full kit option (case included) adds to the price of the components kit. (+). Gustav |
